Random Twitter Things

I really am sorry, but I can't help but share a few random things about my Twitter experiences lately.  (This blog post will not have any socially redeeming value, and may need to be taken as a cry for help.)

• On Friday, I received an e-mail from Aaron Scamihorn at MediaSauce, who apparently saw one of my Twitter posts quoting a line from The Princess Bride (in Spanish, the translation for which I ripped off myself), and decided to create a bit of art because if it - see the image to the right.  Quite nice, well done, wow, I'm honored.
• Two all-around interesting guys from Star Trek: The Next Generation (among other things) are on Twitter now - LeVar Burton and Wil Wheaton.  Rumor has it that Brent Spiner might be next - sweet.  There's something surreal and pleasant and twisted about now knowing when someone, who once played a character in a story on a show that I was thoroughly engrossed in from quite a distance, crosses the street or drinks some tea.
• I'm starting to get over Twitter, but remain intrigued by its immediacy, intimacy and global reach.  It's the closest thing to a global chat room that can probably exist with today's slow hand/keyboard/monitor interfaces (and that may already be going farther than what's good for us).  But it's just a bunch of people, all doing their thing, all thrown in the mix, and most of the time, it's just fascinating.

Okay, that's all, I'll stop now, carry on.
