Tuesday Morning Rambling
Sep 01, 2009 by Synthaetica in rambling | Tags: atheism, atheist, blogging
It’s Tuesday, folks, and you all know what that means! That’s right, it’s time for me to ramble semi-uncontrollably on several potentially-related-but-probably-not subjects. Yes, yes, welcome to the mental ramblings of a forty-something untreated ADHD sufferer/channeler/user/whatever.
Okay, actually, you probably didn’t see that one coming, but it’s about time I started some sort of meme over here, so T.M.R. (Tuesday Morning Rambling) it is! Besides, TMR is almost like TMI, but all piratey and shit. Truly, what could be better?
1. So, speaking of piratey things, I want to thank Cap’N Dyke for keeping me listed as her official “Snarkalopicus” (see her sidebar) despite my long absence from snarky things here, there, and really most anywhere other than Twitter.
2. Actually, related to the previous, be advised I am still working on fleshing out the blogroll over here. I’m being very prudent this time, however, and selecting those whom I already very much admire, whether I knew them from previous blog incarnations and have been reading them all along, or whether I met them more recently on Twitter. To be perfectly honest, to be in my blogroll here should “mean a lot”. Current listings constitute less than 5% of those whom I at least skim on a regular basis, and these ones, I read every posting every day. They are golden. Subscribe to their feeds!
3. If you, or anyone you know, are looking for someone with a couple of decades’ experience in Software Development from the Quality Assurance perspective, please put them in touch with me. Being who and what I am, I try to keep my professional life somewhat distinct from most of my online presences, and I would truly be peeved for this to stand in the way of that. Discretion is recommended. 
4. Tune in this Sunday to the ThinkAtheist.com Weekend Podcast hosted by yours truly. Since it’s Labor Day weekend, I fully expect drunken discourse on virtually any topic under the sun, but the theme for the night is traditionalism.
5. Do you Twitter naked? Good for you!
6. I’m genuinely curious: How many of you are using social networks such as Twitter to find like-minded people in your local areas for friendship or romance? Is the process successful? And if it is, do you tweet to these friends/relations more or less since you found them? Answers in the comments if you would please be so kind.
7. Same question as the above, without regard to local proximity. In other words, if you use Twitter, etc to find friends/romance, is it all about location, location, location, or are you willing to move around a bit? Again, answers in the comments if you would please be so kind.
8. Do you blog naked? You fucking sicko! Put some damn clothes on!
9. Nine is actually the loneliest number. If you don’t know why, you don’t need to ask.
10. You all realize, of course, that what we really need is a national health care system, don’t you? Of course you did. Let’s make it happen, folks.
11. I see in the stats that some of you have begun browsing or even pulling feeds based on my categories/topics. That’s cool, but pulling in my old posts from the otherwhirled pretty much screwed all that up. After I get my favorite folks into the blogroll, many of the categories, and a lot of the tags, will be munged together a bit. too many is too distracting. You have been warned, hah.
Alright, that’s it for now. Peace, out, and remember, be careful out there ‘mong them xtians!

Well I am a bit joyfully intoxicated with the blogging world that I have just discovered. Its like meeting a whole room of interesting people that you can listen to whenever you like!
As far as twitter, I became a twitterer in May this year and I have cultivated a very cool stream of interesting people. Often I am a thought voyeur and laugh and cry as I read silently, maybe a RT here and there and an occasional comment that makes me feel cleansed when I send it our there, but mostly I watch and share. Always with clothes. (Nude twittering and blogging must only be for the advanced )
I dont use twitter to sell things, although I AM a salesperson. I dont use twitter to hook up or meet and talk to famous people. I use twitter to share topics and events with the people that I care about and have grown to respect. What an interesting socialogical happening to shut your computer down at the end of the evening and to have shared such deep feelings with folks you have never seen or met.
