The funny thing about writing a blog but not administering the blog is that sometimes you login and notice that WordPress is all different. It’s kind of like coming home finding that someone has redecorated your house. You leave and everything is arranged in a nice 16th century Japanese Imperial decor and you come back to find wall to wall IKEA. Now, I’m not saying that one is better than other. Who knows, if IKEA existed in 16th century Japan the emperor might have taken a fancy to it. It’s just jarring to go from one to the other, that’s all.
So anyhow, the real reason why I am here is to give another example of the usefulness of Twitter. On April Fool’s Day, Andy Ihnatko wrote a hugely funny gag story using only Twitter. Through the first few tweet’s I wasn’t exactly sure what was going on but by the time he picked up his traveling companion I was already laughing. By the time the airbags were deployed I was laughing out loud. Once I got to the end I had forgotten all about IKEA.
The real problem though is that Twitter is so darn transient that there is no good way to provide a link to the full story. Luckily someone else out there did the work for him to archive it all up. Seriously, go read it, it’s ha ha funny.
