Down the rabbit hole...


Okay... So the BIG NEW THING right now, ever since half of congress was evidently too preoccupied to PAY ATTENTION to the the President's speech last Tuesday (it WAS Mardi Gras after all), is Twitter, and while I've been on Twitter since about the middle of last year, it wasn't until the last seven days that I got seriously sucked into the vortex of this new way to completely lose all ability to maintain concentration. This wonderful new technology that allows you to pretend like you're doing something meaningful while in reality your twiddling your twittery life away. I even added a second account so I could focus one on promoting my wine and food writing more directly (is that increased focus, or lack thereof?).

So today, on Twitter of course, I was directed to the above segment from Jon Stewart... And THAT seems to be more what Twitter is about than anything else, a new way to create yet another infinite loop... and another... and...

Of course, in the manner of such things, just when I'm ready to dismiss it all, something like THIS comes along!
