There's a party going on somewhere in my neighborhood, and it's a still enough night that I can hear every song being played. That, plus the full moon and ... maybe that's it! That could be why my beloved Penguins played like crap! It must be the Teen Wolf Effect.

I must Twitter that ... And that was one sweeeeet tweeeeeeeat! Bro's a no-no for CoCo, after all.

I must admit that I like twitter far more than I thought I would when it first came out. I didn't "get it," and I didn't see why other people would waste my time (and theirs) with inane updates, thoughts, etc. Kind of like this blog, but in 120 characters -- and yet, that's the first thing that won me over. You've only got 120 characters to get your point across, and the old newspaper editor buried deep inside me loves that you've got to work and rework your post to get it to fit some arbitrary length.

That paragraph right there? 417 characters. I'd need to cut it way down to get it to fit Twitter ... something about that excites me. Let's try it again:

Didn't get Twitter at first; who cares, I thought. But 120 char limit makes my pants fit funny.

Just 78 characters that time. And isn't it better shorter? Most things (written) are.
