Over the past week there’ve been a few things rolling around my head.
- One is a response of sorts to Derek (and Angela) regarding this blog and Twitter. Every time I try to write here, something always pops up. I run out of time, meaning the moment has passed; previous commitments crop up, like fixing a website or a forum, doing research for a podcast, doing something around the house, or spending time with Renee; or it’s just a quick little snippet, like an observation, something snarky, or a question; which is perfect for Twitter. I do have my tweets compiled at the end of the week, which is kind of in place for research or to aid my memory. Often I’ll tweet something or converse with another person on Twitter and I’ll use the digest to recall tidbits. This is because there are times Twitter is downright wonky and won’t work thanks to being over capacity so instead of being greeted by the fail whale, I’d rather use my blog.
But that’s no excuse to have post after post of tweets. As Derek stated, he can go to my Twitter page for that (and he doesn’t have to since he reads them as they are posted.
With the weather getting warmer, there will most likely be pictures taken and where else am I going to upload photos? Other than Flickr I mean. So I’ll make yet another promise to write more.
- Speaking of Twitter, I’ve been using that service a lot more than FriendFeed lately. Primarily with TweetDeck. I still get a kick out of FriendFeed and continue to post to it, but I’m not happy with any of the third-party applications available for FriendFeed. And the ability to customize TweetDeck to suit my needs is a big plus.
- I have to ask: does anyone else think that Madelyne Pryor is directing passengers to the airplane’s emergency exits in this panel?
I think that’ll do it for now. I have a podcast to record. Which reminds me: thanks to everyone that listens to Marvel Noise and 11 O’Clock Comics. Means a lot to me and to the guys. I know as soon as I hit ‘publish’ there’ll be a few more things that I wanted to mention here but forgot. Maybe I’ll send a tweet…

And they say that one podcast can't make a difference. :)
Glad to see you blogging again.
I think it really depends on the podcast.
I say evaporate FriendFeed. TweetDeck has made you positively CHATTY. All FriendFeed do for the cult of David was send us into a loop of clicks. ex;
Reading DAP's Twitter message: "hotlink"
Click on "hotlink" —>
FriendFeed! w/ a hotlink
Click on "hotlink" —>
FriendFeed Page? w/ a hotlink
Click on "hotlink" —->
Twitter message with a hotlink!
Pull out hair
I won't be leaving FriendFeed anytime soon. There are people I follow there that aren't on Twitter and there are people over there that follow me. While Twitter is great for 140 character snippets, FriendFeed allows me to link to blogs, like and comment on what others post, and use as an RSS catcher.
Once we get busy at work, I'm not sure how 'chatty' I'll be.
