This lovely behemoth is my new ride!  It’s got a half-ton truck engine in it and when you put the pedal to the metal, the old girl’s got guts!  She’s got plenty of cargo space as well, you can fit a 12-foot roll of carpet inside!  I’m enjoying learning how to drive such a big vehicle, and the feeling of power it gives me to hear her low rumble.

I could use some help, though.  I am trying to figure out what to do with it, decoration-wise.  I got it for a good price from a company going out of business, and as you can see, it still carries the branding of the now-defunct company.  I want to redecorate it.  The branding is not paint, but an incredibly intricate (and expensive) wrap job.  Underneath she’s a pristine, off-white creamish color (assuming the paint job’s still good).  So, use the comments to weigh in – what should I do to redecorate it?  Give it a hippie paint job?  Rewrap it?  Repaint it?  The sky’s the limit (well, and my very modest budget)!

followers > following!

I now have more people following me than I am following! I somehow feel like I’ve come of age in the Twitter world. I’m pretty new to the Twitter world, my account is less than a year old.  I didn’t quite understand it at first, when a friend explained it to me – it took a lot of experimenting on my own to figure it out.  But now that I’m on it I love it.  I especially love using the TwitterFox extension for FireFox – it turns Twitter into a truly real-time stream of updates from people I care about, and allows me to almost use Twitter as an instant messaging protocol.  I also love that Twitter has so many apps that interface with it, it’s available through WordPress here at my blog, and from my iPod touch, etc.  Twitter is truly a modern-day phenomenon.  It allows me to quickly communicate my thoughts on pressing issues to an audience of people that is different from Facebook and other accounts I may have.  I use it to comment on science and technology articles, shamelessly promote my content, and occasionally tell people what I’m doing at work or at my recording studio (shameless plug).  Here’s to Twitter and more growth to come!
