Twitter Smitter - Piss on it, i’m done

Back in March 2007, I resisted the urge to go with the flow and try out Twitter. About 6-7 months ago, I decided to finally give it a try. It was kind of neat. Time went on and I rarely used it. Not too long ago, I got a kick to really try it [...]

Missing CTIA for the 3rd Strait Time…

I wanted to go, but I have to be in Seattle Monday and Tuesday so things aren’t going to work out. I guess I’ll have to hit CES this year to make up for it. Oh well…
