So you may have noticed I was having “Twitter Weekly Updates” on this blog. I was using a plugin for WordPress called TwitterTools to do that. I wanted to archive my tweets because I noticed that I tweet more than I blog and it is a more accurate account of what is going on with my life at this point in time. However, I didn’t like how it got in the way of my real blog posts.
I recently listened to this TWIT episode, and learned about ThinkUp. It’s a project that Gina Trapani is involved with. It lets you archive tweets, graph followings, see a conversation view of tweets, and a lot cooler stuff. Check it out at http://thinkupapp.com/.
Here’s a nice fun screenshot:

New Chevy Equinox

I bought a new Cardinal Red Metallic Chevy Equinox on Friday. It’s a 2011 LT1 equipped with OnStar, XM Radio, Bluetooth, Remote Start, and USB Port! It’s a pretty sweet ride. Anyway, this prompted me to ask Facebook what should I name my SUV? I’m obviously an Alabama fan. One person suggested Tide, another Bear, and another Crimson. This gave me an idea of looking up baby names related to UA. Believe it or not someone actually named their child Crimson Tide Redd. Then I stumbled over this and really laughed. I’m leaning toward naming it Ivory (elephant tusk).
Pictures are coming soon.
