Do You Twitter?

I didn’t… not until recently. I went on a business trip recently and the talk amongst the co-workin’ folk was community sites. I had a twitter account but never used it. So that piqued my curiosity and I got to twittering. It’s pretty cool once you get some people together and start to form a kinda of conversation around what everyone’s doing. I didn’t see the 2-wayness about it until I got going. I thought it was more like a “I’m gonna tell the world what I’m up to all the time” thing. Turns out it’s cooler than that, and not nearly as selfish as that may sound. If you want, go over to twitter and sign up, and add me! I added my latest twitter in the right column here as well.
I’m off work, but I’m working…

While we await the arrival of our new bundle of joy, I’ve had some time off of work to get some things done. Well, not every day… today I sat around a lot. I did set up the cool baby intercom thing and played some Rock Band. I really just looked up at the time on my screen and realized it was Saturday. Where did that week go?
I’m spending some of the time I’m waiting building a few web sites. One is for me and two are for others. I’m using Wordpress for two of them and I always find cool new stuff when I filter through the community to update the plugins I usually use. For example…
- WPhone, or Wordpress Phone is a very cool plugin that put your Wordpress admin interface in the palm of your hand. It’s a must use if you like blogging on the go. It works beautifully on the iPhone and it says it works on other mobile phones too. Take a look at it here.
- TinyMC, which is the WYSIWYG editor for wordpress is something I’m looking into to develop my own button for so that I can have an easy way to embed photos and use that cool lightwindow effect. I’m trying to borrow (i.e., hack) from this plugin to accomplish this.
- ms_lightwindow is the plugin I just mentioned which I’ve modified a little to use on this site here. You have to do some manual work for this one (until I can get that custom button done), but it’s worth it. That’s here.
In other blogging news, I understand you poor saps who are using Internet Explorer don’t see this site as it should and that’s a shame. This theme that I’m using has a few problems with the IE so it might be time to change it up again. So sad. But change is good!
Yes. It Blends.

A blender manufacturer called Blendtec has a great idea on their hands… blend stuff that you wouldn’t normally stick in a blender to demonstrate the power of its product. Their latest victim? The iPhone. Poor thing. Let’s hope it was the 4GB version!
