Well, yes I suck as a "blogger"... so for the 1 person that lands here, I'd like to point you to some reasons Twitter, as a company, sucks even more. I will do this very briefly, and not really through my own words, but via a couple links. First, please read this. ...and this. To sum things up: please consider moving to identi.ca or some other StatusNet open service. Especially do this if you<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CursingNerds/~4/Mb-Y9te_O94" height="1" width="1"/>

So, recently there was a bit of an uproar when an article on a popular social media blog (Read Write Web) became the #1 result on Google for the search phrase “facebook login”. Basically, a bunch of people apparently always search for “facebook login” on Google when they want to login to Facebook, instead of using the browser’s address bar or a bookmark.

I just realized I’ve been forgetting to use what very small power I might have to influence the very small number of people that might read my incredibly inconsequential blog…Haiti absolutely needs help, RIGHT NOW. Please, if all you can do right now (like myself) is donate a small amount of money, don’t wait. The easiest way to donate if you’re in the US is to simply text the word HAITI to 90999<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CursingNerds/~4/HuzGWeTPKD8" height="1" width="1"/>

I sit in the car as my wife drives us down for my niece’s sweet 16th birthday party, and I find myself waxing nostalgic for the days when I was 16. “I Wanna Get Off With You” by Republica is flying out of our car speakers, and while the lyrics aren’t quite fitting for the events of the day ahead, the song fits in nicely with where my head is. It’s that kind of pop electric meaningless distraction<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CursingNerds/~4/l_bn9NRDzOg" height="1" width="1"/>

Welcome to my 2nd Ever Blog (first one was more of techy thing: http://someelement.blogspot.com/). I made a new blog because my first one is old (very old in blog terms), stale (last post over a year ago), and it’s not a true extension of who I am. It was more an extension of what I do for a living, which I think is ultimately a bit boring. Let’s face it, talking about programming can only be <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CursingNerds/~4/GnTJ_HXofSE" height="1" width="1"/>
