A New Twitter Toy ...

So I think I should take a moment to apologize to Kay for not ever getting around to doing my post on “Wrath” for her Seven Deadly Sins game/meme thingy. It’s kind of Kay’s fault though. Not that I would actually blame my not getting this done on her or anything like that. But, she did tell us that we had ALL WEEK to do our posts. If she had expected us to get these things done immediately after she posted hers, well, you never know. But, giving me a whole week meant that I would wait until Thursday night.

And, I totally intended to do that “Wrath” post tonight. But, things just went crazy. See, I was sitting in front of the computer, all ready to come up with my post when I decided I better check Twitter. I have to check Twitter every 13 seconds few minutes to see what is up. Well, there was a “tweet” from Miss Britt about this thing called Tweet Grid. Being the curious sort of guy I am, I had to check this thing and out and see what it was.

What is Tweet Grid, you ask? Only the greatest freaking site ever created, that’s all! Or at least the greatest as of tonight. Basically it’s a place where I can organize all my Twitter Peeps that I’m following in to different, uh, sections and keep track of everyone from one place. This is what it looks like …


Okay, so it’s kind of hard to see there, but I think you get the idea. I have six boxes going and I have a different group of people I’m following in each box. You can have as many as nine, but I didn’t think I needed that many. Anyway, if you are following a large number of people and they are all pretty active, this is just the best way ever to keep up with all of them.

Yeah, I know there’s Tweetdeck out there, but that doesn’t work on my older Mac. So it’s of no use to me.

Needless to say I had to set it up immediately. And then play around with it while I was watching The Office and 30 Rock. Then after those shows I was going to go ahead and try to do a “Wrath” post, but nothing came to me immediately and I realized I was going to have to take some time on that one.

Then Ace of Cakes came on. You can’t possibly expect me to even think about “Wrath” while one of the happiest shows on TV is on! Then of course was Chelsea Lately. So that pretty much shot my posting plans all to hell.

Oh, speaking of Food Network, has anyone else been watching Chopped? Oh man, I love that show! If you like cooking shows, and competition shows you should totally check it out. It’s on Tuesdays and 10 PM Eastern.

So anyway, that why instead of getting a post about “Wrath” you instead got a post about Tweet Grid. Something that most of you have absolutely no idea what it is cause you don’t Twitter and you probably don’t give a shit about. Uh … sorry about that.


Anyhoodle, back to Kay’s Seven Deadly Sins mini-meme, I will have to catch up. On Monday I will be going with the “Gluttony” post (this week’s sin) and the I’ll come back to “Wrath” later next week. I know you can’t wait.

Also, I’ve got more than 100 blogs waiting in my Google Reader to catch up on. I kind of got behind on those thanks to Tweet Grid, Ace of Cakes, Chelsea Handler and UConn/Syracuse going SIX OVERTIMES last night.

And of course this morning I got roped into playing some flag football. I don’t know HOW anyone got me to agree to that …


Oh yea, that’s how.

Have a great weekend!
