I think I'll put this one right *there*. Hey, where's all this water coming from?

I've just spent half an hour or so updating my blog's stylesheet, which was a waste of time on a level somewhere between "hours of Tetris" and "rearranging deck chairs on a sinking ship", but the simple fact was oh my GOSH those colors were ugly. And now they're not, and my soul feels just that much more restful knowing that this is so.

There's been so, so, so much happening that I couldn't possibly decide where to start, so it's a good thing you all are on Twitter and Facebook with me and I don't even need this blog anymore, right?

A related poll: Would you hate it and never come back here if I started posting my Twitter posts at the end of each day? I've seen other people do this, and I've thought of it myself for archiving purposes, especially since almost nobody comes here anymore anyway. If I were to do it I would try to expand a bit on some of the juicier tweets (hey, at least it's a prettier word than "blog"), partly because I wish I could at Twitter and partly because it would make for extra content for people who see my twitter feed anyway, and partly because when I'm sixty and I pull up my old blog on my, I dunno, two-way eyeglass telescreen, I will have forgotten all the backstory for every tweet I ever wrote. (That doesn't actually have to wait 25 years, to be honest.). It could be fun. Or lame and off-putting, either one.

Ooh, the new look is pretty! I say go ahead and put tweets here.

I say do whatever works best for you. Getting more backstory on certain tweets would be nice. I definitely wouldn't storm off in a huff if you started posting compilations of tweets. ;o)

I agree with Michael. I'm only on Twitter so I can keep up with you people anyway so if you compile them all in one place, all the better. And extra backstory? Awesome.

Also, new colors are purty.

Don't disappear to Twitter! I don't Tweet (tried it, didn't like it) so I am being entirely selfish. You could add links to here on your FB page, though, so we know you've updated :)

I like the idea!
