I’m not using FriendFeed, and maybe I should. I have a limited use of Twitter, but find it very useful to follow friends and industry news. The reason I don’t use twitter more is the limited conversation visibility and transparency: I have been frustrated by the lack of visibility I have on a thread of messages (not me to many, but external to me, so as a spectator). Of course there are third party tools that allow this, maybe like Summize but it requires an extra effort to get to them - an we all know web apps are great for limiting efforts.

I just posted that I installed a new feature that I called “Tweet This” on My Life Sucks … Big Time !!!. It allows a visitor to post a twitter message directly from the website, and tweet the link to the post.

It took me 2 hours to unclog the toilet and sponge the bathroom …

I quit smoking about 6 months ago, and I started again to go to the gym, run, play squash.
Side note (while I am there): quiting smoking was VERY easy. And I was a heavy smoker: I started around 12 (16 years ago, i know, bad bad bad), smoked a pack a day as of 18, quit for one year at 21, at 22 started again and went up to a pack and a half on average until last December.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
It’s a bit late to blog about it, but I saw the new Indiana Jones the day it came out. Very funny crowd at the Ziegfeld theater in mid-town. There were even a few “Inidies” in the crowd, playing with their hats and whips.
