gizmos and crap

1. So I'm trying out a couple of the new gizmos, namely Twitter and the Google reader. Between the two of them I'm doing more of the traditionally bloggy kind of crap, which I haven't really been doing much of around here. I've given both a home here on this page though so even if you don't care to use either, you can keep up if you like. I've been kind of glad to have them as of late since I haven't had a lot to say for myself. Their brevity and ease of use suit me at the moment.

2. Though I do want to create the anti-Twitter: nothing shorter than 250 words allowed. Suggested name: Bloviator. Sure to be a hit with academics.

3. I don't use the Twitter to say much about my actual doings, they aren't especially interesting, but just to point out some fun stuff I've been considering, listening to, reading etc...bloggy kind of crap.

4. So if you click on the page and there's no new post, have a look at the tweets or click on the reader link, that's where the action is.
