go tweet yourself

i finally started 'tweeting', that is, using twitter

sometimes called "micro-blogging", each message can only be 140 characters. sometimes it's just boring what-i'm-doing-right-now kind of messages, sometimes it's responding to other users, sometimes it's just what's on my mind. here are the highlights since i started and i'll try to continue to re-post them on here if you don't want to follow along there.
