Why I think I hate Twitter

There's something to be said for brevity. As a man who can't stand reading anything that exceeds its optimal length, it's no surprise I'm saying this. But what's twitter turning us into?

It's not like twitter's forcing us to have bite-sized thoughts. So we're choosing to condense our words and thoughts, abbreviating as much as we can. And then we're condensing URLs using bit.ly and TinyURL and using those tiny, bit-sized links to draw people to something someone said, adding our bite-sized, abbreviated opinions to them.

First SMS, now twitter. Now people chat like this. Like it's too hard to type an entire sentence out. Will someone stop this trend? Please?

Why I've been away

So there I was, just sitting and reading someone's blog somewhere. And I thought to myself, "Hey, I've got me one of those."

So here I am. And here's why I've been away for so long: I got a job. But don't tell anyone. I'm not quite ready to let the world know I like being busy.

What's the job like? Well, it's different. It's a big office (only the second of my career). And there are more people on my floor than the total number of 0employees of my last two offices, combined. My first thought when I realised this was, "This can't be right. I don't fit into big offices, right?" Turns out, I just might--for now, at least.

Also, I've become a little more active on FB, Twitter, and now Buzz. So you'll see me there as well. And I'm still trying to make my tumblog look good. Failing miserably though, if you ask me. I hope I get it right by the time I get my hands on a good camera. I like how photographs look on tumblr.
