About Twittering . . . 

First BB Storm I had came with it on the main menu.  So I tweeted a lot and liked it.  Then I had to ditch the phone and next one didn't have it, so I got out of the habit.

Now that I'm in the new digs and playing blogmaster to myself, I found myself wanting to go back to the micro-blogging for stories I felt some desire to comment or quip on, but not enough desire to log in and make the posting effort.  So I get it on my latest BB Storm, which I don't love and will soon turn in for a Droid, methinks, because I want the mechanical keys back, plus I add the Twittering widget at the top left on the new site, displaying the last five tweets.

My promise:  Once the site fully up and I get all caught up on my regular sources, I will work hard to tweet more, using it, often, to clear my in-box faster.  This way, you have the main blog in the middle, where I won't try to stay that terribly current, and the micro-blog on the left, where I can sound off more in real time.

Best of both worlds, I'm hoping.  Especially as Steve and I gear up to do more consulting as Enterra's technology continues to mature and thus allows us a bit more scheduling freedom, it'll be helpful to have both cylinders firing in terms of mental output.

Your choice:  follow the widget's postings as you come to the blog on your sked, or follow me on twitter directly (see the link above at the base of the Twitter widget).

I know Twitter is all the rage, but I think your ideas deserve more consideration than 140 characters. To me, Twitter is part of the dumbification of the Web. Blogging allows the space to present and expand an idea, and these kind of comments continue the relevant threaded dialog.

Oh, I find the font size on the new site to be too big, it's frankly hard on my eyes.

Twitter is the *signal* of globalization. It's good that your on it. It may not be the content but we are now entering a "World of Mouth." Anyone can join twitter by txting join to 40404. (see the video below)

Google brings in folks to talk for an hour about various topics, for an hour, and they're up on youtube for free.

A lot of these tech talks are on Energy. Many many many hours.
These might be of good interest for you.

First glance looks good. Very clean.
I find the font/typeface difficult as well.

I vote for more face fuzz, that would be a good new look for you! Cheers!
