Returning from my blogging vacation + Twitter links
Blogging vacation was fun
After a good couple months not blogging, I’m going to try to get back in the groove of things ;-) It’ll be hard since the format of writing long essays tends to suck up a lot of time, but I’m going to try to get back to writing something substantive 1-2 times a week. Ideas and suggestions for topics are welcome! Please comments or write me an email
Twitter was a “good enough” replacement for blogging
Of course, even while I was off on blogging vacation, I was still tweeting away on links and other short comments. It was a great way to still publish content but without the constraints of doing something serious in the long-form blog format. If you haven’t followed me on Twitter, please click here to do so! And be sure to email me at voodoo [at] gmail and let me know what you’re working on these days.
Twitter links (lots of them)
I haven’t posted a link dump from Twitter lately, so I’ll do that now. Enjoy!
