I’ve decided to take the plunge and try to figure out just what is so cool about twitter. In an number of podcasts I listen to… guests and hosts alike have told people to follow them on twitter. Some of these people I actually like, so if they’re on twitter, maybe I should check it out. And the only way to really check it out and understand it is to do it I guess… so follow me on twitter at http://twitter.com/csilverman.

I know it sounds a bit funny, but it’s brilliant. David Hobby A.K.A. Strobist was featured on the latest Lightsource podcast. He was saying that he uses a tripod when he needs to light a very large space, so he locks the camera down and uses shutter speed to raise the ambient light. This is not a new concept, but the way David equates the tripod with a large light source is great. 

John McCain has it all figured out. He has a three-point plan to win the election just by using the color green.

1. Use green to differentiate from Obama
2. Use green as proof that he cares about environment
3. Use green to subliminally suggest that a vote for John McCain is a vote for economic rebound… mo’ money.

He doesn’t need to wrap himself in the flag… he was a POW! What’s more American than that? Barack Obama was never a POW… unless of course he was one of the those anonymous prisoners at Guantanamo? Come to think of it… his name kinda sounds like the guys they’re keeping at Gitmo. Hmmm…. I’m so confused.What do I do? Doesn’t green mean go?
