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.

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’d like to follow me, I’m Fitzillo on Twitter. Visit that link and click the “Follow” button under my name after you sign up.

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)

Have you seen the Toilet Monster yet? This is one of those videos that gets funnier every time you watch it… not that I’ve watched this poor kid’s reaction over and over for my own amusement or anything…

I remember reacting similarly when I was a kid after being scared by my dad when I came home from trick or treating with my older sister. Just as we were entering the house, he popped out of the cellar door creepily wearing a crazy wig and arms flailing. I screamed and ran away… and just kept running. And screaming. Good times. Sorry kid, but welcome to the club.

If you’d like to get your very own Bog Toilet Monster to forever scar and traumatize your loved ones, go grab one here while there are still some left. And be sure to record video of it and post it on YouTube for millions to laugh at.

Every fiber of my being tells me I shouldn’t laugh at this QVC guy’s ladder accident… but I just can’t not. He took quite a crack to the head there, hopefully he won’t try to show off by skipping a ladder step ever again.

Here’s how to draw a fish, a very funny looking fish that is. Enjoy!

Why is it that the early days of Ronald Reagan were so loved by the people, but Ron Paul is considered a “whacky” “fringe” candidate by the mainstream media and the majority of the people? There seems to be little difference in their messages as you can see in this 1964 video…

“How he [Ronald Reagan] moved from here to the Reagan of the 1980s is an issue I hardly dare ponder.” - Matthew Kaney
