Bullet Point Wednesday

• Twitbook

As if to prove my point about having the whole social network thing shoved in my face like snow by a bully, when I woke up this morning and flicked on the clock radio in the kitchen the first three words I heard, swear to god, were "Facebook and Twitter."

I wonder if the other old dying media talked so much about the new ones back in the day. Are there thousands of stone carvings fretting about papyrus? Were the telelgraph lines abuzz with talk of the telephone? Did lps devote cuts to discussions of cds? Did cd's have special bonus tracks that dithered about mp3s? Did horses chatter ceaselessly about cars?

• Anything But the Rand Paul Ads

Keep clicking. After four years of intermittent and now mittent blogging, my adsense dollars are up to $5.17. Google sends you a check after you've cleared $100, so at this rate I'll be receiving my first check in 2091. I promise, at that time, to give all the money to the committee to Landmark the Freedom Tower. 

• Catch

Now that golf Dave has one kid, he asked me what it was like to have two. I told him to imagine that having a wife and one child was like juggling a chain saw and a bowling ball, and then someone tosses you a cat....
