Hey There Twitter

January 13th, 2010

Small side note. Had to share. For the people that follow me. If you are following more than 500 people, 99.9% chance I am not going to follow you back. If you follow more people than follow you, 99.9% chance are that I am not following you back.

Period.

Don’t like it, then do not follow me. Really, stop bitching. I am not being anti-community. You are choosing to follow me, not the other way around. I probably think that you are cool. I will probably respond to your @’s. I respond to about 70 % these days. That is the best that I can do.

Nothing against you. I use Twitter as a tool. Sorry. You are cool. Mad love. No offense.

I love Free Stuff Part XXVIIXCCX – theCRICKETtoy

January 7th, 2010

Recently Jeff Anderson the inventor (oh yeah) and creator of theCRICKETtoy reached out to me, and offered myself a free sample of his wares. I said “oh god yes,” and waited. They have arrived.

What is it? It’s a small toy for your keychain, that when pressed chirps like a cricket. Having an awkward moment, push the button and bazinga you have something to break the tension. Check ‘em out:

If you want to give it a try, visit their page and click hear it now button.

I think that I am going to use it in the TNW podcast. Whenever we reach an awkward pause, chirp chirp. I love free stuff!

The Lack Of WiFi Ditty

January 2nd, 2010

I am depressed at the lack of wifi on this Southwest flight, so I decided to write a rhyme.

Hey Southwest, we are best friends,

I love you so much, me you and your overhead travel bins,

But lately we been getting along quite badly,

Because you hate in flight wifi, making me fly sadly,

Southwest, my laptop feels unloved

Bereft of connection it’s pathetic like a wingless dove,

I cry out to you in internet-free agony,

You offer five dollar beers like they are fine chardonnay,

I ask, excuse me Virgin America, what do you have to offer?

They reply everything you want is in the proffer,

I sigh that they hate my airports,

Leaving me shivering in the connectivity cold with open Ethernet ports,

Southwest my love, please catch up to the game,

After all we only love you because you are cheap, and our budgets change

Oh never mind, you just gave me free peanuts, brb.
