• .NET Color.FromName(string) method lets you ‘invent’ colors without error. Problem: all new ‘invented’ colors are 100% transparent white! #
• @extralife: In your honor, I hereby invent two new colors: “JohsonStone Gray” and “Extralife Periwinkle.” http://twitpic.com/1edeu #
• Ha! The ‘JohsonStone’ typo propogated all the way to the code! There is no spellchecker in the world that can squelch my creativity. #

Weigh in on “Twitter Noise”

I installed “Twitter Tools” onto my WordPress installation last week so that it would automatically post my tweets each day.  I have neglected this blog for a while, and I was looking for a shortcut.  I was lazy.  

Looking back, maybe its OK to neglect this blog.  Maybe it is OK to write a “real blog post” only when I actually have something on my mind that motivates me enough to slave over the keyboard in WordPress.

Twitter is the ‘pure cane sugar’ of the blogging world, and tweets might belong only on Twitter.  (If you really wanted to read my random interstitial thoughts, you would probably be ‘following’ me on Twitter.)

If you find these daily tweet summaries annoying, vapid, or without worth, let me know.  I will gladly turn them off.  Personally, I enjoy the daily recap.  I also understand if you dislike the added noise, as if there was no escape from that darn twitter cruft.

I welcome your thoughts.

• Watching “An Evening With Kevin Smith” on XBOX/Netflix. Very funny when he’s not cursin’ up a storm, f@!$’ing distracting when he is. #
• Waiting for AT&T to offer iPhone tethering. I’m being patient and not JailBreaking my phone. What’s my reward? (*drums fingers on table*) #
• Did I mention that @extralife is awesome for sending me these toys? Darth Tater is pleased to have play mates. http://twitpic.com/1cjlg in reply to extralife #
• Yes @extralife, and the Brits call their doodahs “John Thomas” and call jerks “wankers” and call sex “snogging.”. It’s charming. in reply to extralife #
• Oh, Vista, you precocious minx. Quit setting ALL of my directories to display as “Music” folders. My DLLs do not have artists or genres. #
• RT: I stand corrected by Brit @Ognawk -’Snogging’ is a kiss, and never heard the ‘John Thomas’.. BTW: @Artsoldier1 is and has a JOHN THOMAS! #

• Now that my Adobe CS4 trial has expired, I’m looking at Inkscape/Gimp. Very attractive (vs. $1,400 for tools that I don’t use very often). #

• The Steelers won because I donated soup in their honor (for a “Souper-Bowl Sunday” food drive). So the Cardinals can suck on it. #
