Here's a video of me moving some of it. After I finished plowing the driveway I called up the town office to see if they needed any extra help with the roads. I think she thought I was joking.

I never gave it a chance before, or even a second thought, but there's been a rise in buzz about it lately so I thought I'd give it a try.

I'm finding the best part is connecting with other like-minded people, as well as getting instant updates, tips, and breaking news from people I'm interested in.

There are actually quite a few illustrators on twitter, you can see some of them in my growing Friends list.

I wouldn't say I'm addicted to it (yet), like so many others say they are, but I am at the point where I felt the need to install a Firefox plugin to get updates automatically instead of visiting the actual site. The Plugin I'm using is TwitterFox and it's working very well so far.

If you're not sure if Twitter is for you, check out the following nifty little video Darren Rowse of Problogger posted this morning. He asked his followers what they loved about Twitter and he got some great responses that should peak your interest... (If you can't see the video below, click here)

AHMEDABAD, India (Reuters) - A newborn baby girl survived an ignoble birth after slipping down the toilet bowl of a moving Indian train onto the tracks when a pregnant woman unexpectedly gave birth while relieving herself on Tuesday.
"My delivery was so sudden," said the Bhuri Kalbi, the mother of the infant, born two months prematurely. "I did not even realize that my child had slipped from the hole in the toilet."

Kalbi, a 33-year-old woman from a village in Rajasthan, fainted on the toilet seat after the birth for a few minutes before waking up and alerting her family.

"They stopped the train and ran on the tracks to find the baby," she said, speaking from her hospital bed in the western city of Ahmedabad.

Railway staff at a nearby station were alerted and soon found the newborn girl lying uninjured on pebbles by the track. She is now in intensive care because of her premature birth, doctors said.

Most toilets on Indian trains are filthy chutes emptying directly onto the tracks.

"While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles. Now, while doing this draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction and there's nothing you can do about it."

Strange, no? :) Via (Link)
