I’m getting more twitter spam lately.

People (products) like this or this try to friend me, so I’ll look at them to see who or what it is, and what they’re selling or promoting.

Classic.

I suppose Twammers are really just a fact of life, huh Ev?

Our (relatively) new friends Patrick and Maureen live in Martin Acres in Boulder. Once in a while they randomly have an outdoor theater set up. So far, Jil and I have gone to see Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (always fun) and The Graduate (very good).

It seems that our job is to bring way too much ice cream for the group. This time we brought way too many Klondike ice cream sandwiches.

Patrick doesn’t seem to mind much.

Is this the most interesting tweet you’ve ever seen? I think so.

I’ve got over a year of blogging under my belt now (along with a big bacon classic), and one question is burning in my mind.

Did I make a mistake by going with multiple blogs? This is my personal blog, and as you can see, I blog about all kinds of stupid stuff, right along with some other, perhaps interesting stuff. I use this blog for sometimes random, sometimes technology, and sometimes personal/family thoughts. Then I have ColoradoStartups.com (which is more widely read) where I try to stay very much “on topic”.

On the one hand, it’s really nice to be able to blog about stuff only my mother would care about, and not annoy my ColoradoStartups.com readers with that kind of junk. It’s also really nice to know I can post any random, silly thought that my friends might care about without dumbing down the content for more “serious” readers on ColoradoStartups.com.

On the other hand, I’m not building my “personal brand” (like Feld.com, or AlexKing.org). And I’m not giving my readers the full “experience of me” (as dumb as it sometimes can be). That makes me wonder if I should have just one blog.

Things got worse this summer, when I picked up the tempo on the TechStars blog. Now there are three. That one is a bit easier to decide about, because it’s a “company blog” and it gets contributions by several people, not just me. But there are certainly some articles being written on there that ColoradoStartups.com readers would enjoy.

I also maintain a blog for my league tennis team, come to think of it.

So what’s a guy to do? Is it best to keep the blogs focused and cross post the relevant stuff on an as needed basis? Or did I make a mistake when I decided not to just blog everything on my personal blog?

It’s windy today here in Boulder. Really windy.

Like up to 60mph gusts windy, according to weather.com.

Coincidentally, I went to Wendy’s today. How strange is that?

That reminds me of my favorite Twitter friend. You have to give him an add. He’s making me laugh daily.

I love NetNewsWire, and I just upgraded to 3.02. It’s awesome.

But Newsgator didn’t add the one feature I really wanted.

I want to be able to set a threshold of the maximum number of “tabs”, and have it automatically (or offer to) close the oldest / least accessed tabs.

Tab proliferation is a huge problem since I open a new tab with each article I read (thus giving me other benefits).

This neat little feature would make NNW essentially perfect for my taste.

Scorching hot. Especially when the battery gets low, like down to 20% or so.

I have to put it on a pillow on my lap.

Is this normal?
