Captain Oblivious

Know how I can never be bothered to Tweet anything unless I'm bored to tears and stuck somewhere? That may have come to an end. See, the reason I never post to Twitter (and rarely read it) is that 140 characters isn't enough room for anything meaningful. And I post here infrequently for exactly the opposite reason: it takes effort that I don't consider worthwhile unless I'm saying something significant, usually with LOTS of words.

Guess what? There's a happy medium. No, Aunt Zelda isn't chair dancing around her crystal ball. F$ckin' literalists are everywhere...

I mean that there's a way for me to have a site where I can throw smaller topics up, a place where it's so easy to post the content that even I'm not lazy enough to avoid it, and a place where I can automagically sync with Twitter (it includes almost 140 characters and then creates a tiny link to the primary post). It's perfect. To me, anyway. It's called Posterous. I heard about it via Volker, so you probably already know about it too. But you didn't know that I've got a site up there. So consider this a Posterous Pimping Post (*cough*).

Check out my Posterous page (yes, it's at captainoblivious.net - if you're confused by the .com vs .net site of the same name, mea culpa, but it's my "brand," for what that's worth - I know, not a heck of a lot) if you're so inclined. Or not. But don't say I never offered, mmmmkay?

Before you ask, no I absolutely, positively will not, under any circumstances, sync these posts/tweets with my Facebook status. They're *different* things. Twitter is micro-blogging (making Posterous mini-blogging?), FB is not. Get over it, already.
