I keep thinking Twittermania is going to calm down and go away, but it seems that it’s only gaining momentum. I rather admire the discipline and efficiency required to communicate in 140-character bursts, but the misspellings and arcane acronyms make me crazy. I’m the sort of fellow who still composes emails as if they were official correspondence. Using, you know, grammar and stuff.

Still sleeping off my hangover from the Consumer Electronics Show. Not from booze -- I gave that up after the infamous MIT Nuclear Reactor Lab Tequila Incident of 1992. No, instead I got caught up in all the 3D TV excitement. Predictably, the show was rather tame this year due to the economy, and 3D TV was among the few recognizable hype spots.
