The tweets are too much on the blog!

I look at my RSS feed fairly regularly, but I’ve become numb. Numb because every morning I mark my own blog as read, even though I have no idea what’s been posted.

When I started tweeting I began using Twitter Tools to keep track of my tweets and tweet my blog posts, but now I’m using Twitter a lot (read +30 tweets daily). It’s bogging down my recent posts and making it look like all I do is tweet (which is kind of true).

So, I’m turning off the updates.

If you’re seeing this, it means you’re reading my RSS feed, found the permalink in a tweet or are browsing the archives (as the category “Twitterings” isn’t shown on the front page). So, that’s all. A pretty worthless waste of your time. Thanks!

  • @dngrundy I’m so jealous of you! #
  • @newspicture Win any money? #
  • Trying to add Motion Blur to video… this should be sooo simple, but it’s ridiculously difficult. :-( #
  • Finishing a render, then it’s time for some decompression. Hopefully not explosive decompression (that sounds painful & I’m not in space). #
  • Is it bad that I’ve been at work so long I forgot where I parked? #
  • Wow… last night’s Daily Show was… interesting… Waiting to figure out what the cities above Jon’s head have in common tonight. #
  • Give a larbage throw out your garbage. :-) #
  • I’m awake! We’ll see how much longer that lasts. #
  • Patrick Stewart with a moustache? That’s kind of weird. Not that I’m watching "The View" or anything. #
  • Woohoo! Indians/Reds game on Sunday with @mmagnolia22, DS and KS. #
  • I’m not in Canada… silly computer. #
  • Okay, who peed all over the floor outside the upstairs bathroom…. #
  • Just because it’s the lead story, doesn’t mean it should be the lead tease. #

  • Finally done, for now. Time for a drink… #
  • That 11 hour day is over… time to decompess and prepare for a similar day tomorrow… #
  • Drivers: I know it’s complicated, but please try to understand how a 4-way stop works when the light at Meridian and 16th is flashing red. #
  • @drthomasho It’s the majority of #Indianapolis drivers that I worry about. At least I’ve waited to text until I’m at the drive thru :-) #
  • @danielle_i Your job sounds so much more interesting than mine… #
  • My goodness… keeping up with everything happening on the Internetz takes a lot of time. #
  • @danielle_i Wow. That does not sound like fun at all. Sorry about all that. At least it’s over for today. #
  • @dngrundy I think the "Midnight Rule" should be in effect… #
  • Time for some sleep… more promo fun tomorrow (sounds like we’ll be all over Comcast with 500 spots later this week). #
  • Storms rolling in. Sleep tight, #Indianapolis. #
  • Awake and sorting through e-mails in two accounts… I should probably head to work and check e-mail there, too #
  • Silly Verizon and not working with BrightKite yet… #
  • @seanokey I thought the only problem with troubleshooting was trying to explain to someone that the Internet is *NOT* a series of tubes. #

  • http://twitpic.com/126k <- #
  • @newmediajim Is it even worth taking bets on what will be discussed? #
  • @spazcer Great concept. I would have used it when looking for an internship. Hopefully it catches on and gets a bit more populated… #
  • Heading to downtown to pick up @mmagnolia22 then a stop at O’Malia’s… #
  • This will be the 5th revision to these spots… the media center is going to kill me. #
  • IB down across the country? Guess TheIndyChannel won’t be updated today. Apparently Minneapolis broke the Internet. #
  • Woohoo… co-worker battling cancer stopped by work to say "Hi" to all of us. His chemo’s going really well! #

  • Taking a break from work… so much more left to do, though… … … … … … … … … … … … <— (not Morse Code) #
  • Back to work, after the Bob’s Roll, Hoosier Roll, and ever popular Soft Shell Crab Roll. I <3 Sakura. Tasty. #
  • Looking for WJJK’s logo (high-quality)… Anybody out there know who at Cumulus Media I need to talk to? #
  • Awake… time to start working on more 500 spots. Indianapolis in May… #
  • People are on a roll at the station today. Me: "The client wasn’t happy with the logo size" Media Manager: "And the client was your boss?" #
  • Render render render render… it’s the hit new song by After Effects, "Waiting to Render." #
  • Maybe I’ll get to be in another spot… #
  • Getting ready for a shoot in the station parking lot… #
  • http://twitpic.com/118z <- #
  • Finally back at my laptop… you would think that portable means "take it everywhere." #
  • Fun, fun times. #
  • Watching the ABC Upfront. Good shows returning. Scrubs moving to ABC mid-season next year. "Start Here" #
  • "TV’s are bigger than ever. Children are fatter than ever. And gas is more expensive than ever. If we can’t make money we should be ashamed" #
  • My mind has turned to jelly… these 500 spots don’t make any sense… ugh… #
  • I promise I won’t tell what’s in @mmagnolia22’s show tonight… well, maybe… #

  • Feeding the addiction… #
  • Can someone please explain to these people that "Tax Rebate Checks" and "Stimulus Checks" are, in fact, two very different things. #
  • Argh… I haven’t had a chance to do anything on the Internet today! Been stuck in Intranet hell. #
  • The people on the Intranet are not nearly as interesting as people on the Internet, or even everyone on Twitter. #
  • Time to come up with Nightcast teases… can’t go wrong with stimulus checks… #
  • Wow… it’s definitely been a complicated day… hopefully it turns into a sushi night before my stomach kills me for not feeding him. #

  • @drthomasho That’s a big hurdle to overcome… maybe if you made changed each of your tweets into two tweets… #

  • Mother’s Day… #
  • Ugh, I just cannot make a good pot of coffee this week… #

  • Party at The Villa apparently… where are they all coming from? #

Twitter Updates for 2008-05-10

  • @jennews I’m not sure it’s possible to go wrong with either… #
  • I feel like John Stossel’s mustache might decide to attack me through the television. #
  • Can I get 30 minutes without someone needing something? I forgot, I’m an "adult" now. Finally going home after a 12 hour work day. #

  • http://twitpic.com/ygd <- #
  • I didn’t know how swanky the renovated Taco Bell at IUPUI is. I feel like I might need to be wearing a tie. #
  • 2 Double Decker Tacos, 2 Tacos, 2 Meximelts and a Nacho Bell Grande, all for less than $10. And I’m not even drunk. TB is an amazing place. #

  • Finished with the confetti and ambient lighting effects… waiting on a disco ball to render, then time for more lighting effects. #
  • Wait, where’d my coffee go?! #
  • What does "WRG" mean in chat? It’s all over the Detroit mayor’s cell phone texts to his co-worker/bed-buddy… #
  • Just because it’s your first May, doesn’t mean the track is the most important thing every day… #
  • @spazcer Good call… I might be an idiot. #
  • @newmediajim Hogan is a pretty important world figure. Just wait until Chuck Norris calls a newser… we’ll forget about everything else. #
