I started Twittering the other day and I’m strangely enjoying it. 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.
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)
Illustrator Rob Dunlavey posted some cool marker drawings of zany toy-like characters. He calls them ‘Little People’ and it sounds like he’s working on bringing them to the market. I found these enchanting doodles to be quite entertaining. Rob’s style seems to be the perfect combination of Bob Staake and Ed Emberly. (click the image below to see all 70 character designs.)
Cartoon Birds by Ben Balistreri- A large illustration of a flock of bird character designs by the best character designer in the animation industry. I stared at this piece for a good 10 minutes.
Flash Video Player Design Showcase - Smiley Cat has a nice collection of 50 Flash video player examples on display over at his Elements of Design showcase.
I found out from Chris G about a nifty WordPress plugin that puts a twist on a blog’s tip jar or donation link: The Buy Me a Beer Plugin.
The idea is that readers who find your blog posts useful and/or inspiring might want to send you a few bucks via PayPal as a tip. Enough to buy you a frosty cold beer. I thought it was a clever idea, especially since I love beer and it’s warming up outsi… no, pretty much just because I love beer…. (more…)
Today’s a big day in the world of late night entertainment folks!
Move over Dave, Conan, Jay, Craig, Jimmy, and Carson. There’s a new sheriff in town and he’s not taking any prisoners.
Joe Lateshow is officially open for public consumption. It’s been a long road but Joe says all the hard work has been well worth effort… probably because he didn’t lift a finger.
Be remembered as the person who knew all about Joe Lateshow long before everyone else on the Internet did. This is one bandwagon you do not want to miss because a hostile take-over of the late night host throne is inevitably certain.
