Happy New Month!

2 Feb 2007 minus 25 July 2006 = a long time since last posting. I'm back and better than ever. I've been working on the sidebar for the last 20 minutes to include my twitter status and updating my regular status. I'm not sure if I have an audience anymore, but even if I don't I will write as if you are eagerly awaiting my next post.

Before I go and cut and paste my status onto this entry, I want to recruit you to twitter.com. It will definitely replace my daily postings here. I've been describing it to people as a blog for the lazy and non-committal. One line check-ins. A lot more easier and a lot less intimidating that a blog post. There's something oddly satisfying and comforting to get updates of my twitter friends (I only have 3 now) in real time, without IM-ing, emailing or talking. A nice and safe distance in my busy day.

Reading the twitter public timeline is sometimes funny, sometimes sad, and always voyeuristic and intriguing. If you ever join, please add me as a twitter friend!

Well...here's to February 2007 and new beginnings.
