Twitter lets folks provide their friends and others with instantaneous updates via a web interface and via text messaging. I’ve got my own Twitter page, which you can check throughout the day, because I’m so interesting (lol).
Why not head over to Twitter.com and sign up? Then you too can be my friend.

For some reason, I thought this was a good idea. Especially as I continue to add custom IM status messages over time. I’ve been using GoogleTalk and Windows Messenger as my IM clients over the past several months, and they provide the ability to use a “custom message”. Here are some that I’ve had recently, in no particular order:Available
Face and turn the rain
Turn and face the rain
The Dream Police, they live inside of my head…
I Want You To Want Me
Library and hang time with the fam
“I LOVE getting up in the morning! I CLAP my hands together and say, ‘THIS is going to be a great day.”
Message in a Bottle, yeah
Do I have to tell the story of a thousand rainy days since we first met?
Loose talk in the classroom, to hurt they try and try
There has to be an Invisible Son, that gives hope to everyone
With one breath, with one blow, you will know synchronicity
Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes
Bring on the Night
It’s my destiny to be the King of Pain
The telephone is ringing, is that my mother on the phone?
Reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix to Keisha
106 miles to Chicago, a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark, and we’re wearing sunglasses.
Code Monkey drink big cup of coffee
Hot summer goodness and black coffee wishes
Go Bengals!
Prompted by recent Feedburner problems that led to Juice users being unable to receive podcasts, the Juice team has released an update, version 2.2.2, which is now available.

It happens every so many years. My birthday, April 16th, happens to coincide with Easter. I want to thank everyone in advance for celebrating my birthday with me by eating colored hard-boiled eggs, chocolate bunnies, and the like.
I get a warm feeling inside just thinking about it. Or is that from the wings last night?
Whatever the case, you are welcome to send any birthday wishes in the usual ways. I’m even planning on doing a feedback/birthday podcast this week. So why not call (206) 666-JIMM (5466) with some thoughts? Or, if you have a microphone attached to your computer, send me a voice message. It’s easy!
Mood: better – can tell the sickness is going away

My heartfelt appreciation goes out to all of you who have taken the time and trouble to send me “forwards” over the past 12 months. Thank you for making me feel safe, secure, blessed, and wealthy:
Extra thanks to whoever sent me the one about roach eggs in the glue on envelopes cause I now have to go get a wet towel every time I need to seal an envelope.
Because of your concern I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains.
I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr Pepper since the people who make these products are atheists who refuse to put “Under God” on their cans.
I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be pricked with a sharp point infected with AIDS.
I no longer go to shopping malls because someone might drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.
I no longer eat KFC because their “chickens” are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers.
I no longer have to buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I now have their recipe.
I no longer worry about my soul because at last count I have 363,214 angels looking out for me.
Thanks to you, I have learned that God only answers my prayers if I forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.
I no longer have any money at all – but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special email program.
Yes, I want to thank you so much for looking out for me that I will now return the favor!
If you don’t send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 7 minutes, a large pigeon with a wicked case of diarrhea will land on your head at 5:00 PM (CDT) tomorrow. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbor’s ex-mother-in-law’s second husband’s cousin’s beautician.
Update, 10/26/2005: Rob from the podcast411 probably better explains this stuff than I do in the text that follows.
This post goes out to everyone who is still playing the show directly from this website. By that I mean that you click the link within the post (either the post title or another link) and start playing the show that way.
You mean to tell me that you’re staying connected to the internet all that time just to hear my show? I’m flattered by that attention, but I’d like to offer some advice to make your experience a little more efficient: Here’s what happens in a nutshell when you download iPodder: Go back to iPodder and click the green button with the “+” sign Did I say “in a nutshell”? It seems like that was a lot. Maybe it wasn’t. I don’t know. It’s late. Update: This article I found at Podcasting News provides step-by-step instructions on downloading and using iPodder – even with screen shots. Way better than I can do. Good luck and happy listening!
Some may recognize the following snippet as Visual Basic code. I recommend first reading Proverbs 2:1-5 if it doesn’t make sense to you: This procedure should be run as often as possible.Public Sub GetWisdom()
Dim iCount as IntegerDim Flag as Boolean
With You For iCount = 1 to 8 Select Case iCount Case 1 Flag = .Accept(What:= "My Words") Case 2 Flag = .StoreUp(What:= "My Commands", _ Where:="Within You") Case 3 Flag = .Turn(What:= "Your Ear", _ Where:= "To Wisdom") Case 4 Flag = .Apply(What:= "Your Heart", _ Where:= "To Understanding") Case 5 Flag = .Call(Where:= "Out", _ What:= "For Wisdom") Case 6 Flag = .Cry(How:= "Aloud", _ What:= "Understanding") Case 7 Flag = .LookFor(What:= "Wisdom", _ How:="Like Silver") Case 8 Flag = .SearchFor(What:= "Wisdom", _ How:="Hidden Treasure") End Select Next iCount
If Flag = True Then .FearOfTheLord.Understood = True .KnowledgeOfGod.Found = True End IfEnd With
End Sub
