Free Twitter Bird by Luc Latulippe
The #FollowFriday phenomenon on Twitter doesn’t do much for much. I think the main reason is that most tweeps (twits?) just post as many handles fit in 140 characters. I’d like to know why you follow someone so that I can get an idea of why I might want to follow him/her.
As a complementary (or contrary) concept, I propose “follow wishlists”. Periodically or as desired we could each write a blog post briefly describing the kinds of folks we’d like to follow or tweets we’d like to read. Allow me to lead my example.

Anyhow, in mid-October Atom Heart Mother and Father are due for twice our current level of love and half our current amount of sleep.

Nothing’s written in stone, but we’ve made a compromise decision regarding how much of the living room to give Red access to. We bought a 12′ x 8′ area rug, rearranged the living room furniture to maximize open space, and bought the North States Superyard XT play yard

Move Over Trio
Posted on: March 25, 2009
In case you don’t recall, a musical group called Trio became a one hit wonder with the song “Da Da Da”. Well, as of Sunday, Red has them beat. Not only can he say “dah”, he can also say “dih” and “duh”. Before long he’ll be singing the Police’s “De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da”.
