I’m on my way to my swim meet shortly, and I’ve been asked if I can live blog. However, pool water + brand new macbook is probably a bad idea. However, it also so happens that I’ve just signed myself up for Twitter. The magic of that is that I can send updates from my cell phone, once I’ve dried off my hands long enough to pull it out and text. Here’s where you can follow me:

For those of you who were like me two days ago and have no idea what Twitter is, here’s the run-down as I understand it:

You get 140 letters to describe what you’re doing at that time, so it’s like a mini-blog.  You can sign up to follow people’s mini-blogs, and they can sign up to follow yours.  The mini-blogs are called “tweets.”  That’s a lot like reading blogs in an RSS feed, but confusingly enough you can also read tweets in an RSS feed!

Wait, don’t go away, it’s not that complicated!

If you follow the link above, you can go to my Twitter page and follow what I’m doing as I update.  From there, you can also sign up to get text messages of what I’m doing, which seems a little crazy, no?  Like who would do that except my mom, who only has her cell phone on for one hour a day?  But more importantly, I can update from my phone so you can see what I’m doing, and you will be the first to know if I come in last place or next to last place in the 50 yard backstroke.

So now that I’m on facebook and myspace and twitter and flikr and stumbleupon, I think it’s time to get a new technology out there so I can come across it two years from now!  Get on that tech people!
