Minnesota Headhunter: Daily Twitter Notes

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.

Here are the highlights of my recent Twitter activity. If you want to see the full version click MN Headhunter on Twitter

#NBA: shit
Tiger Woods: (speechless)
@timelliott Yeah, that has crossed my mind. I am usually lukewarm on golf but this has been awesome. Tiger, to birdie, to tie. Sounds odd.
@timelliott If it was the others guys I would be for Tiger. I always like when people doubt him and then he shuts them up. If he wins, cool
US Open: I am a Tiger fan but find myself hoping Mediate holds on. It's a cool story.
#NBA: BEAT LA BEAT LA BEAT LA. warming up to watch Garnett, Pierce, Allen win their 1st championship. 05:39 PM June 15, 2008 from web
What I learned on my way to Lund's: Stone Arch Bridge Festival goers cannot drive, walk, bike or roller blade. Traffic signs do not matter
@ConversationAge Frustration, when people say their number so fast that I cannot write it. Make it easy on me to call you back.
@Animal I disagree. Seems most people focus a lot on the faults every day and wait to say the nice things when it is too late.
Watching Meet the Press. Very sad to see Remembering Tim Russert.

Tim Russert had a significant impact on the modern era of politics. Would like to have seen him these coming months. Very sad.
@myklroventine Neverending Story, I did not know the answer and did not wait for your answer. Now stuck in my head. Good to meet you Wed.
My pace of the past two weeks has caught up to me. If you wanted something from me it might not happen until Monday. Taking 2nd nap of day.
