What is this place? It seems familiar. It looks like a blog, but not. Kinda resembles an abandoned warehouse. Oh yes! … it’s my blog! I’ve been away too long, but sadly, I cannot stay. You see, there is this thing called Twitter. You might have heard of it.

… instead of trying to be clever and try to write something that fills up more than a few lines, I can be a smartass over Twitter. I don’t need to watch my language or my grammar or care about what I post. Not that I did any of that here anyway. I honestly can’t be bothered to form anything more than 140 characters, which is what Twitter limits me to. So yes, I know I have a blog. No, I won’t post here as often. If I can’t fit a single thought into 140 characters, then I might post here. My blogging comes in spurts and this is one of those lulls. Except this time I have an excuse. If there is a need to get in touch with me, you can find me at Twitter. If you wanted to get in touch with me through my blog, you probably would have signed up on Twitter anyway.

Until next time.

There are several URL shorteners out there. They are particularly useful for services that limit the number of characters you have to work with such as twitter. If the others out there aren’t short enough for you, check out Tinyarro. Tinyarro uses unicode characters to do this magic. This post for example is http://➡.ws/꡴ದ instead of http://ribbed.us/internets/worlds-shortest-url-shortener/. The service will take you to a splash page with the long URL so you know where you are being directed to.

I hate writing. I have a blog. These are the facts. I do have a lot of thoughts though, so micro-blogging using Twitter might be the best thing and will let me send thoughts out into the cloud wherever I am using Twittelator on the iPhone. Check out my page on Twitter as well.
