I am clearly very old.
My blog feeds Tumblr. Twitter feeds Tumblr. Twitter feeds 30boxes, which in turn feeds back into Twitter. Flickr feeds everything. Tumblr feeds everything too, but then I’ve got duplicate feeds. I need a nap.

That last bit reminds me that I miss English
You know, before twittr, flickr and blog were verbs. Or even words, for that matter.
When “googol” was still a really big number
When not all writing was preceded by “http://”
When periods came at the ends of sentences. Or at least at the ends of words. (I’m looking at you del.icio.us)
But all the cool kids drop the vowels now, so I guess that should be “I miss nglsh.”
Oops. Still have vowels. “mss nglsh.”
Dang - punctuation has to go too. “mss nglsh”
I may need more than a nap.

For the record, my twitter account is here, and my tumblr is here. Yes, I am aware of the irony, thanks.
