My love / hate relationship with Twitter has been leading me more towards the love side lately. I’ve found new and better ways to tie Twitter to other services I already use and automate some of the back end of this blog and my personal photography one. Over the last two or three months the [...]
Twitter has grown a user base to such extremes that even my own Mother asked if I was Twittering the other night after she saw it mentioned in an episode of Entertainment Tonight. To my own amazement while flipping through the channels last night, one of the financial shows had a segment called Twitter Time [...]
In an attempt to be less chained to the TV and to learn more about some topics that interest me, I’ve started to read. While I’ve never been a fan of reading books, I’ve been a magazine reader for almost 20 years. Some of my desire to read more changed recently when a friend sent [...]
Over the last few days a friend of mine has been experiencing a slew of problems with Twitter. They were removed from people they were following, their followers were removed from the account and in total, more than 200 contacts were lost. When two people don’t follow each other it makes direct messaging impossible and [...]
It’s been no secret to long-time Randomn3ss readers that back in the summer I started to ride a road bicycle, then complete the MS charity ride and I’ve gone as far as losing 54 pounds, only 6 pounds away from a goal I set when i started riding just 5 months ago. I’ve also been [...]

This twitter account only posts one tweet per day and it’s usually to something really, really cool. Intrigued by this, I forced myself to remember the twitter account and after the [...]
A few days ago something amazing happened, as if the stars in the sky aligned, something useful came of Twitter for me. I’ve had a pretty well documented love / hate relationship with the micro-blogging service for a year or so now, this is truly one of the most positive experiences in that time and [...]

Randomn3ss reader Scott sent in another great link over the weekend, FFFFOUND! (not always safe for work), a new twist on social bookmarking. FFFFOUND,
is a web service that not only allows the users to post and share their favorite images found on the web, but also dynamically recommends each user’s tastes and interests for an [...]
I really like Nalgene bottles, so much so that I gave one away last year, they just make sense. Stop buying bottled water, spend a few bucks on one of these and a Brita pitcher and you’ll help reduce global waste. OK, enough preaching, onto the actual story.
Because I’ve purchased from the official Nalgene website, [...]
