@geniodiabolico – from articles I already have, and anything that comes in on going. @cullect gets new feeds from new subscriptions. # Did you know @cullect has a built-in url shortener (a la tinyurl)? – http://culld.us, an example: http://culld.us/540074 # @DeRushaJ, I agree.

@geniodiabolico, great post. # @geniodiabolico, I’ve amused myself by saying, "advertisers, audience, publication, remove 1 an you’ve got something interesting." # @brownorama – and in exactly the same way. # Powered by Twitter Tools.
Eight Stupid Things
Bex asked me for 8 things; I took the left-brain/right-brain dominance test Bex referenced and it said I, “you focus on details until they manifest themselves in a unique pattern and only then work with the ‘larger whole’” and recommended I be a design consultant. 🙂 Climatically, I’m the most comfortable between 42°N and 52°N. …
