Four days in a row

That might be an all time record for consecutive postings. I'd like to think the increased attention to Lunamania is a product of bigger transitions in my life that have created head space for blogging; however, I suspect it's actually more the result of simply doing anything to avoid the tortuous task of churning out grant reports. It's that season again. I have two to go before the end of next week.

I'm boring myself.

I'm tired. Insert your very own witty transition thought here.

I don't have many friends who blog, but have noticed that Tony and Sunny have both incorporated Twitter into their sites. Twitter is a microblogging/social networking application. For the non-geeks, it would allows me to post short entries (140 words or less) from an IM program or via text msg.
As my dad would say, "So whats?" Exactly, so whats? Do the not so many readers of Lunamania really want/need/care to know what I'm doing every 2 hrs? NO. But I'm attracted to Twitter's forcibly short updates. 140 words is manageable from my Treo. Also, short is key since I'm often compelled to ramble on and on with nothing all that amusing to share. Anyway, be on the lookout for a twitter sidebar soon.

"Work out" consisted of 5.5 mile bike, 2 mile run and watching a re-run of the Awesome Pawsome show on Animal Planet. It documents the first year of Bengal tiger cubs raised in captivity at a zoo in Australia. Someday I'm going to touch a tiger.

I think the thing I'm attracted to with Twitter is that it helps me to feel a little more connected to folks without the constant "RESPOND RESPOND" stimulus of IM-ing. The way I described it to my brother is that it's sort of in-between blogging and IM-ing. I let people know what I'm doing (so long as it's not just "lunch" or "going to the bathroom" or "staring at my navel") and every once in awhile, they drop little gems of closeness on me via my cellphone, like "Listening to John Legend and unwinding" or "I hate poodles," so it feels less like they're in a whole 'nother state.

Now if I can only get my parents on it, then maybe I won't be pressured to call home so much...

yeah, i agree. i'm kind of enjoying the short and random tweets. it's strange, but i kind of feel like i'm stalking myself...
