The good thing about automatic del.icio.us and Twitter posting is that it makes it look like I update my blog every day. (Reminder: if you find those things annoying, you can always subscribe to the “actual posts only” feed.)
It’s been a good, calm weekend. Yesterday morning, my Online International Podcasting Expo session went well. Then last night we had dinner with some friends at the Vortex in Little Five Points - which was a lot of fun, but goddamn are some of the people at the Vortex annoying. (I would attribute that attitude to me getting old, but I felt the same way about such people when I was 21.) Today we did our requisite weekly brunch at Radial, I had my requisite afternoon nap and my requisite persistent headache; then we went to the Container Store and spent about $1,000 on elfa equipment so that we can build a closet in our lofted bedroom.
Once our place all set up, it’s going to be awesome. The upstairs in particular is going to be cozy and kick-ass (yes, it can be both). Also, it’s going to be our personal Porno Central.
Downstairs, the furniture arranging and box unpacking is coming along. We have so much space that we basically have two living rooms (or living-room-like areas, since there are no walls) - one with a TV and one without. The kitchen is another matter, however… I need to get on top of that soon, because eating out all the damn time has gotten really old.
I can’t believe it’s already 9:00 p.m. This weekend has flown by. I still might edit a podcast tonight… we’ll see.
I’ll be back to writing posts about feminism and shit next week, I imagine. For now, this is what you get. -Oh! I would like to say publicly, CONGRATS to Jenny on landing an awesome new job in Washington D.C.!! It’ll be great to have you on the east coast. :)

It’s possible that I just have a really thick skull that is ill-suited to navigating and deconstructing the cornucopia of Web 2.0 innovations, but I still don’t really understand the philosophical essence of Twitter — that is to say, what it’s supposed to accomplish. I certainly don’t get it from the web site alone. Even reading the Wikipedia page didn’t really clue me in. Is there a plain-vanilla explanation somewhere of what social networking purpose these various ‘updates’ serve?
I don’t think I’m alone, either.
