Especially if I walk into the street while staring at my cell phone and I get hit by a bus.
This is primarily due to peer pressure—I’m not sure why I cave easily in these situations… maybe I’m hypnotized by shiny objects… like cell phones… Anyway, I created a Twitter account (@shawnbakken) for no good reason. Given how infrequently I write blog entries, I’m not sure how often the muse be flowing through my fingers for 140 characters or less. Maybe I’m just a glutton for punishment: I’ll get to feel guilty for never updating two things at any given time.
So I’m adding yet another link to the right-hand column that you can click when you’re feeling bored and want to read little nuggets of lack-of-wisdom from yours truly. Perhaps it’s best that I don’t have free Internet access on my phone—it means I’ll have to add said nuggets using my computer. If staring at a computer screen leads to my getting hit by a bus, maybe technology wasn’t the problem after all.
Actually, that last part isn’t true. You add Twitter’s # to your cell, confirm it with them, and then you can text directly to your account. Can’t CHECK it, but you can definitely update it without internet access.
Oh, and then there is also twitpic, which is another phone # to add, and then you can upload pics and post right from your cell as a text message also.
Which really only helps if you have a really, really good texting plan. 😉
