Sometimes the things I would like to write about like economic, Wall Street, and political news (sports too) I never have time to get to. With Twitter, you at least get some of the flavor of what I am thinking about.
I will not include all of the ones where I am responding to someone else, might get confusing...
MN Headhunter on Twitter | May 9 - May 6, 2008 (last one first, URL's added):
May 9, 2008
- Minnesota Twins: Sports cast they were losing. Flipping through the channels to see team freaking out. Come back to win in 9th.
- U of M hockey: Blake Wheeler to go pro. Good for him. Bad for us.
- MinneBar Happy Hour, stopped in briefly to say hey to a couple of people. Did not stick around, already home, ordering pizza, then sleep.
- Must...motivate...self...to..get...to...MinneBar...Happy Hour. Motivate to go to a bar? Dang, this sucks.
- Also picked up @AppleRecruiter
- Tim Esse, @timesse, is a Apple Recruiter. he also picked up AppleRecruiter. Tim, nice move with that.
- 2 new Minnesota Recruiters using Twitter since the end of the event. Welcome to @ashleymonseth and @timesse
- 70%+ were first timers. A much more experienced crowd.
- Ran out of morning beverages. Way too much food for lunch.
- I did not have my presentation done. Had a rough, rough draft that I used. I know the material but the PPT looked weak.
- It rings and buzzes during the 1st presentation.
- I "lost" my cell phone. Searched for 30 minutes. Had left it at the front of the room on a chair. Called my number with another phone....
- Minnesota Recruiters: Have not seen the attended list, for sure had 200. Maybe not 200. Comical/unfortunate personal moments.
- 2.5 hours of sleep. This must be a horrible dream, err, reality show. C'MON brain, start functioning. Double time, gotta get going...
- 3:15 AM: must...take...nap
- 3:00 AM: @jasonalba books on LinkedIn and Facebook in bag
- 2:45 an: shirt ironed, camera and cell phone charged, business cards in bag, all I have left is the presentation. I have lots of time...

- Minnesota Recruiters: Printing sign in sheet. 1:40 am
- Minnesota Recruiters: Event PowerPoint done. 1:30 am
May 8, 2008
- Had a very nice conversation with Susan Burns, @TalentSynch. She is doing a recruiter event in Portland in June with Recruiting Roadshow.
- A DM from a Mpls tech friend: "Dude, did you die? Did your event list 'to do' items kill you?" Nope, I am fine. I am way behind but fine.
- Late cancellations. I know they happen and I really do understand. But it makes planning an event very difficult to do.
May 7, 2008
- Minnesota Twins: Livan Hernandez has complete game. Twins win 13-1. Gomez for the cycle. Beating the White Sox... priceless
- Minnesota Twins: Carlos Gomez hits for the cycle. Last Twin to hit for the cycle was Kirby Puckett Aug 1, 1986.
- Minnesota Twins: YEEEESSSSSS
- Minnesota Twins: Gomez has HR, Triple, Double up to bat...
- MinneBar on Saturday. Looking forward to attending an event and not planning it. This is my first one. Will also hit Happy Hour Friday!!!
- Minnesota Recruiters: How does one order food for 235 people? Is there a ratio? Seems that we always have way too much with 125.
- CNBC: Microsoft has sent "feelers" to Facebook to see if they can be acquired.
- Wall Street: Oil up over $123. Stocks -220 at one point not -180. NASD & S&P down too.
- Sprint/Nextel and I are about to have an ugly divorce after a 7+ year relationship. Rant soon to follow and will be Rated R.
- Off to Oberon for a meeting with CJ Dube, www.oberonllc.com
- @GraemeThickins Friday: Recruiter/HR folk. Saturday: explore the tech side. Sunday: absorb, sleep, contain brain tangents.
- @ecaron I think I get what you sent me was cool. The un cool in me thinks that is a lot of work, and what if I screw it up.
- Camera: My issue is I am not a gadget guy. I do not own a Blackberry or an iPod. There, I said it. I outed myself.
May 6, 2008
- Obama/Clinton tonight will be like Stars/Sharks the other night. Hopefully Gary gets his votes counted before 1:30 am.
- @byteCoder Mostly I am socially moderate/liberal and fiscally conservative. Which I means I usually vote for the person I think sucks less.
- @byteCoder I had not taken that one but I am very consistent. Was upper right corner centrist, border conservative and libertarian
- Indiana spread less than 20,000
- I was asked in a DM where I stand politically. Very middle of the road. If the wind blows while on the fence 6 of 10 I fall to the right
- Kevin Garnett for President. nuff said.
- I am looking at a Casio Elixim... I just do not use a camera enough nor need all the gadgets. Nice pics, some video. Very simple.
- Digital Camera advice needed: Spending $250 for a 10 MP or $150 for a 7 MP. Does it really make a difference?
- Clinton: Is she in the Twilight Zone? I hope her speech is enough for the party leaders to say enough. Maybe she has now gone too far.
- Sen Clinton, seriously enough all ready. Be gracious, take a step back, and move on.
- Clinton: Full speed on to the White House? Does she mean for Obama's inauguration should he beat McCain?
- Obama wins North Carolina. Indiana too close to call, Clinton in the lead. Could this be the end one chapter and beginning of the big show?
- Minnesota Recruiters: Seen the other two presentations and am feeling that I need to step up my game. This is going to be a good event.
- 72 degrees at Noon. Severe Thunderstorms in SW Minnesota. Spring might be here to stay.
- Minnesota Recruiters: Information on the event including sponsors and presentations at www.mnheadhunter.com & www.minnesotarecruiters.com
- Cable news: You would think there was a primary going on today. Looks like nothing else is happening in the world.
- I find this hillarious as I do most things from @powerbaby, http://tinyurl.com/5dw4ga "I have a serious problem with the worm"
