Its not Twitter’s fault. I’m a Natural Born Chiller

Twitter, today I will speak in support of you and against myself. Your ability to connect me to the random thoughts and activities of people who are awesome (whom I don’t know yet still follow!) is much appreciated but, alas, quite dangerous. Today, via alesh’s tweet I rediscovered that I am a Natural Born Chiller.

Spend countless minutes wandering the net I will.

Eventually, I will reach a point where I am so satisfied with my findings, that I will stop whatever I’m doing and report my finds to the world via this blog. Hence:

Not that you care, but let me interrupt myself to tell you how I use Twitter. I use twhirl as my client for several reasons. First, it’s built with {en:Adobe AIR}. Because twhirl was one of the first AIR applications that I installed on my Macbook Pro, I was hoping to be pleasantly surprised by the “richer” experience that the AIR runtime is supposed to provide. So far so good.


Secondly, I prefer using a desktop client instead of a browser-based client because

    I already have too many tabs open in my browser.
    I can quit the client to avoid constant distractions, and launch it to find the newest tweets

Point being: Regardless of my planned behavioral patterns for using Twitter, my curiosity always gets the best of me. I don’t have constant distractions, but as a Natural Born Chiller, one great tweet will take me -> two, three, four pages -< into the net and I will come out blessed with a truly sickkk find.

Bye bye undisturbed productivity. Hello awesomeness and inspiration. In my current situation — deadline looming and design unfinished, ideas unborn — which is most important?

Hail, all hail, Cornell!

 

On this bissextile/leap day in 2008, with too little sleep and too much work, I still feel energized and inspired by the knowledge, beauty, and power that the Cornell experience has instilled upon me.
McGraw-Feb29-653AM

“Far Above the busy humming
Of the bustling town;
Reared against the arch of Heaven,
Looks she proudly down.”
 
“Here, by flood and foaming torrent, gorge and rocky dell,
Pledge we faith and homage ever to our loved Cornell.
May time ne’er efface the memory of her natal day,
And her name and fame be honored far and wide alway!”
 

For those who study sleeplessly &|| arduously

I know a lot of those. Enjoi.
