The Favored Ones →
Who makes the front page of Favrd the most? How cool is this! @badgopher, you are my hero.
Am I the only one who finds it too delicious that @AmyJane is one place ahead of her husband @gruber for Average?
I found the most interesting way to sort was by Frequency, but take a look and enjoy for yourself.

Funny People to Follow on Twitter
I follow a lot of people, so picking just a few for #followfriday on Twitter can be a challenge. Instead, I’ve made a list of my favorites for the benefit of those who are new to Twitter, such as my brother @ripslich and my lovely wife @rondicasmith, and a few co-workers. I hope the lists below give you an idea about what I love about being on Twitter.

Why I love Twitter
A minute after I tweeted this, @FanEffingTastic DMs me with a way to make it better.
I tweeted: “If it turns out the iPhone is a Decepticon, we’re all completely screwed.”
She said: “I’m giving that a star but it would have been really funny had you said really ‘ducked’.” And damn, she’s right.
Duck!!!!!!

What really happened to Gov. Sanford?
Gov. Mark Sanford (SC) was missing for days, claims he was walking in the woods. Actually he was playing cards with Elvis and the gunmen from the grassy knoll.
Or was he? What do you think happened?

So yesterday I got a bunch of stars on this tweet, and noticed that one of them was from a long-time hater. This person blocked me for no reason, and regularly chimes in when one of the haters explodes, including last month. So I wondered, has she stopped blocking me? Nope. Still blocked. Well, I hope she doesn’t expect me to reciprocate with stars.
Am I the only one who finds it an odd...

I forgot Twitter was down
…and so I checked Facebook. Then I remembered this from a previous maintenance.
These maintenances are getting more frequent and inconvenient. Can’t they send out a .ics file with the time so we get reminders? I’m waiting for a conference call to start and I can’t be starring funny tweets. My whole day is shot now! And can’t they check our schedules like we they do...

“I only have one video on my iPod - Twilight.” I was told this unprompted in a meeting last week, and so surprised was I by this admission that I had no response. What should I have said?

The WSJ completely misses the point - Ahmadinejad is a figurehead. The real power is with the Ayatollah and the mullahs. And the Ayatollah isn’t giving up the nuclear program no matter who is elected. President of Iran is like Mayor of London in the 13th century - important yes, but the real power lies elsewhere.

The article is entitled “The Case for Ahmadinejad”. Really,...
