Twitter

You may have noticed that recently, I have hit a lull in my blogging.

There are a few contributing factors to this. One, I have a ten month old son1. Two, I have a wife, who, coincidentally, also has a ten month old son. Three, I have a job, which has recently become very time and energy consuming.

So, here's how the math goes, for good or bad. I have been spending more time and energy on work stuff, which means I have less energy when I get home, but I have a family, which I love more than I love to blog. Therefore, my energy has been directed towards my wife and my son, and thus not toward my blog.

I have, however, found another way to keep the world up to date with the goings on of my life. A week, or so, ago I signed up for a Twitter account. For me, Twitter is in the realm of away messages on AIM, or text messages. Twitter allows users to provide updates of 140 characters or less. So, in a time when I am low on time and energy, Twitter's character limit provides a way for me to share without having to put together a thought through post.

Twitter has some great features that make it even more appealing to me. My Facebook status is now updated every time I "tweet". That's what the cool kids call it when you post an update. Also, I can link my gchat account to my Twiiter account, and I can post to Twitter by sending an IM.

All of that is to say that I am miss blogging, but I have found an outlet in Twitter. So, you should follow me on Twitter. Better yet, you should sign-up, and I'll follow you.
