05.14.10 | Permalink | 15 CommentsI am a ranter. No surprise I guess that a blogger likes ranting, it would seem to be a blogger’s stock in trade, and I have a reputation as something of a John the Baptist of the CAPS LOCK… but I more specifically mean in real life.

Follow Friday: 05 Feb 10
One nice tradition on Twitter is the “follow Friday” hashtag, where you pick out a few of the people you follow and suggest them to the rest of your followers. It’s an easy way to meet new people and make new connections. So we’re going to pay homage to our roots with our own version. [...]
