If you’ve vis­ited here once or twice, you might have noticed that lit­tle thingie over there in the left-​​hand bar that asks, “What should I write about?” There’s a link to Skribit, where you can leave sug­ges­tions about the types of posts you’d like to see here.

Well, you too can get such a wid­get for your blog! Because Skribit is out of beta! So go check out their site, and see how their tools can help you.

Any Plurkers?

That man roped me into another mes­sag­ing thingie, Plurk. If you’re already a mem­ber, I’m Tech­noMom there, of course.

I can’t really blame him, since Twit­ter seems to be down all the time. Pownce never really took off, did it?

I wish Plurk had a desk­top client, though.

I must say that I find Twitter’s excuses for their tech­ni­cal prob­lems fairly ridicu­lous. They used a con­tent man­age­ment sys­tem for a mes­sag­ing plat­form, and nobody thought that would cause problems?

It was a nice, bor­ing day, which means I don’t have much to talk about. Hap­pily, other peo­ple do.

Open Rela­tion­ships: What the World Already Has is a very good post over at Huff­in­g­ton by Jenny Block. I hope to read more from her. I def­i­nitely intend to get a copy of her book, _blank”>Open: Love, Sex, and Life in an Open Marriage when it comes out in June.

I can’t say that I was shocked to hear that the TSA forced a woman to remove her nip­ple pierc­ings with pli­ers before allow­ing her to board a flight, but I am dis­gusted. I’m glad that I don’t have to travel much,1 but I def­i­nitely think that the next time we do travel we’ll give Amtrak seri­ous con­sid­er­a­tion over flying.

Why is it that 29 total strangers have started “fol­low­ing” me on Twit­ter, when I haven’t even logged in since the 21st?

1 Not that I wouldn’t like to travel more for plea­sure, I just wouldn’t want to do it on some­one else’s schedule

Shashi Bel­lamkonda came up with the idea for this poll, and gath­ered the nom­i­na­tions. I’m just host­ing it for him :-)

{democracy:2}

The poll opens at 5pm EST today and will close at mid­night EST on Sun­day, Decem­ber 10. It doesn’t mat­ter whether you vote in the side­bar or in this post — all the votes go to the same place.
