My Twitter Is Now Open To Your Stalker Eyes

20081230-twitter.jpg
Twitter...I haz.

Haha, just kidding; I know you're not stalking me.

...

For the past one and a half-ish years that I've had a Twitter account, I kept my updates private. "The public world does not need to know my every bite, burp, and emotional fart." I rejected loads of people I didn't personally know and felt free to Twitter life-changing events such as, "sitting in my pjs, about to do some homework", "donuts. ...d...d..DONUTS OH DEAR GOD", and "my manatees do not pat nor flap, but PLAT."

I have just un-privatized my Twitter so that anyone out there in Internet land can follow me, see how boring I am, and then go back to unfollowing me. Since I'm opening the flood gates, I'll Twitter links to new blog posts as I make them, which isn't very often. But I'm not Twittering this one because that's pointless.

Well now I don't feel so special anymore.

yay twitter! i was VERY ambivalent about the whole tweet phenomena until a couple of weeks ago. then i was convinced. some of my readers had HIGHLY convincing arguments about how/why to use it if you're interested

Yes, it is all your fault I have one now. Although, actually, I always wondered what Twitter did.

cybele: YOU ARE STILL SPECIAL TO ME!!!

the sassy kathy: I'm not really convinced, but ever since I installed Twitterrific I don't really have a reason not to twitter. (Also, I dislike calling them "tweets"..bah!)

SuperChomp: It wastes your time. ARRGH!

don't get me wrong, i do still tend to think its a little bizarre. but so is most technology nowadays. and yes. tweets is weird. like, are we talking about birds? chirping baby birds? very odd.

Help out roboppy?

If you do want to help me out monetarily, here are some easy non-obtrusive ways to give back:

- Buy stuff through my amazon ID!: This is the BEST WAY to help me out without throwing money at my feet. I buy most of my material goods from amazon.com, and it would help me shittons if you bought stuff through my link. I don't get much per order, but the referral fees can add up.
- buy t-shirts through my Threadless Street Team thinger!
- Get webhosting with Dreamhost.com and enter roboppy@gmail.com as the referral

You need stuff from amazon.com and you should buy t-shirts from threadless (I've been somewhat loyal to them for the past five years). Thank you for making sure I don't resort to pan-handling and robbery!

    photo info!

    Canon 20D

    The Canon 20D with a Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 EX DC macro lens is my main camera as of August 2007, although I used to use the Rebel XT before that...and the SD 450 before the summer of 2006. You should also know that I "post process" all my photos in Photoshop to make them suck less. Of course, you need a camera to take semi-decent photos first (it has a good macro mode), but without photoshop, I am nothing.
