Macro-micro-blogging

Aug. 24, 2009



I feel like I have Tweet-worthy thoughts, but if I signed up for Twitter now I'd just be awkwardly, far-beyond-fashionably late to the party.  Not sure what to do about this in general, but for now I'll just post a couple micro-thoughts on my macro-blog.

  • My favorite "Wait, what?" sentence from the September 2009 issue of Harper's Bazaar: "Because it's smothered in sequins, making it the perfect wear-anywhere item for our times." 

  • I was recently shopping for a petcare gift certificate (my sister's starting a Ph.D. program this fall and would probably enjoy a day or two off of caring for her Yorkie.) Turns out, reading reviews of pet boarding places on Yelp is a sure-fire way to get freaked out. Is this because lots of pet owners are ridiculously over-protective and will never be satisfied with anyone else's care of their pet? Or is it that no matter what cute name you give it (doggy daycare, luxury puppy hotel), it's a kennel, and most kennels just aren't especially nice places?

Oh, it's never too late to jump on the Twitter train.

Yelp tends to be very self-selecting - you're more likely to see extreme reviews on either end of the scale than stuff in the middle. (But I think this is true for most review systems.)

<a href=https://cialiss.skin>cialis daily</a> I went to this doctor and was advised to stop the fioricet which NSF been working and instead put on an anti depressant plus referred to a neurologist who did a number of test including carpal tunnel syndrome which led to severe nerve damage in both hands
