This post is not to imply that Twitter is life. It seemed to work out that way. Just saying.
So what’s up with Twitter, you ask? I’m seeing the end of using twitter for myself. I think it’s great, and actually, it’s a good thing with software developers, because I get updates via twitter that tell me when something is updated. But honestly, if the software you create just checked for updates itself, twitter would be essentially unessential. So, I think I’ll be dropping it sometime soon. I do have friends there that use it all the time, it will be sad to not read their updates. I’m sure I’ll survive.
In other news, the World has lost a few more cool points this morning, as I read some things I’ll highlight here.
First, “Flight attendant was drunk, told pilot ‘You’re dead”…” is on the top of my list. What is up with this? Honestly. What is the problem here? I don’t understand. if the flight attendant (is that the right terminology nowadays Kailani? Japanese call them Cabin Attendants now for some reason.) is drunk, what’s the problem? Fire her. or reprimand her. Why are they thinking about what they should do? Or did I just read that wrong? “We’re investigating to determine what the circumstances were and whether any of the federal aviation regulations were violated,” Bergen said. Who cares, she was drunk on the job. In my book that means severe punishment, or fired. Maybe it’s just me.
Second, Carrots or fries: Does McDonald’s wrap improve taste? You know, I have to admit that if McD’s put their label on something, most kids would definitely think it tastes better. I mean, they dont’ know that McD’s is not Really the best thing to be eating. And just putting the carrots in a wrap… Honestly, you could probably spend so much less and do it yourself, but these kids would say they’re different, only because it’s not McDonalds. I agree the parents should be educating children. But I also think doing a case study of kids at that age group (3 to 5) is Totally unfair and skewed. I might rattle on more about this on my food site.
Finally, I just joined an online community (yes another one) called gleamd. From the FAQ: Gleamd is a place to highlight interesting people doing interesting things on the internet. It’s not bad. I haven’t submitted anyone just yet, because I want to be sure to get all the details before I do so, and make sure they’re not in the list. One such person is Toshiro Mifune. Anyone who is a fan of Japanese jidaigeki (read: samurai) movies will know the Toshiro Mifune may be one of the most famous actors in this genre. Akin to John Wayne and westerns. Anyways, I’ve got 5 invites if you’d like to receive one. You can submit people and such. Makes for interesting reading too. I like the fact that today Eddie izzard is #2 in the “Daily Top 15”.

Thats HOT!
I am SOO CLOSE to deleting Twitter but I’m having a hard time doing it because then I’ll lose my username. Do you know how many Betty’s are out there?? A TON! And I know someone will snatch it up and that makes me sad. :(
I do hate Twitter tho. Damn buggy, fo sho!
I agree about the Flight Attendant. FIRE HER! I’ve never worked at a place where it was ok to show up drunk and the fact that she works SERVING the public, yeah, she’s gotta go. That’s not something that can be punished with a slap on the wrist.
Thats HOT! i’m for sure starting to like pownce a lot more. i cross post my pownce there, but slowly but surely it’s become obsolete. i post my pownces to my blog.
Thats HOT!
I want pownce *sniffle*
I can invite you Eliza…I’ve never invited anyone.. :-)
I have invites to Pownce too. I think.
Toshiro Mifune was awesome. Way better than John Wayne IMO.
Oh and McD has lots of alternatives here in HK. Corn is a common side item. As is yogurt or sliced pineapple.
i do not understand the draw to pownce via twitter. it has no sms/phone use like twitter… and otherwise seems the same. am i missing something?
well, since I don’t have a phone to use it on, it doesn’t much matter it doesn’t have that (yet.) :-) The replies to public notes are public, but won’t display on your website if you have pownce post to there. Which is what I do. When we do that chatlike think we do in twitter, all of that would show up on my blog *if I were to post twitter there*
Thanks for the link to that story. How crazy is that? FAA says no drinking within 8 hours of a flight. Uh, I think she broke that rule. Fire her!
And yes, flight attendant is the correct terminology. Cabin attendant is fine, too. Just don’t call us stewardess. *wink*
Even I’ve heard of Toshiro Mifune, mainly because I just love the genre. The first movie I saw him in I think was Seven Samurai..
I’m terrible for joining up to these new sites and forgeting them after a day or too!
I would be more up on twitter if I actually had a good freaking cell phone that could use it.
with the Stewardess, er I mean flight attendant, if she is in a union, that is probably why she is not fired right off the bat.
No more online communties. Sheesh, I can barely keep up with my blog reading
I like Pownce a lot more than Twitter, the flight attendant should definitely be thrown from the plane, and I’d love an invite if you have any left.
