OK. The "create blog post…

OK. The “create blog post from tweets” will be turned off shortly.

Well, OK, that worked. Color …

Well, OK, that worked. Color me unimpressed.

Back on the Twitter Tools band…

More Stuff from the Twitter

OK, so I am a Twitter-er. I thought initially that Twitter was going to be yet another A-Lister echo chamber do nothing app. Today, I came across realestateshows, which has real estate listing tweets for places across the country.
It’s very nice for people who are moving, or who would like to. I’m firmly [...]

The Tea is Dumped

The Tea Party ‘07 fundraiser for Ron Paul having come to an end, I’ve replaced the TP banner with one for downsizedc.org, an organization promoting the simple and not too outlandish premise that the U.S. Congress should actually read legislation prior to voting.
