Sometimes the day does not all to do a blog post let alone write about things on my mind or hear about like economic, political, local news (sports too).
With Twitter, you at least get some of the flavor, a flash moment during the day, of what I am thinking about. You can follow during the day or see the digest below.
I do not include all "Tweets" where I am responding to someone else, might get confusing...
