Marvelous, just marvelous. You should blog more often.

I really want to be somewhere bloody freezing. This sun thing is unnatural. I want to wear scarves and gloves, all year round.

Why bang out 500 words when 140 characters will do?

Were he alive today, Borges would use twitter then, you think?

(And his first tweet no doubt would be “Shit: I’m oooold.”)

Tremendous post, just tremendous. Makes me wish I was a twitter. A twitterer? That, anyhow. Except unfortunately I don’t have the gift, I tend to say in 500 words what you could say in 140 chars.

(Karl Kraus, another twitterer avant la lettre. “There are writers who are capable of expressing in just twenty pages concepts that can take me as many as two lines.”)

Anyone can twitter, but to use one’s tweets as a structural device and combine ‘em with teh pix is the mark of an artist. Or artiste, if you prefer.
