I took some time to finally sign up with Twitter yesterday.  A buddy had invited me a while back, and I deleted that email as yet another invite to a social networking site that I don’t really need.  But, I read an article in Wired magazine this week that sparked my interest again.

The “tweets” are posted here (in the first sidebar).  Not sure at this point if my twittering will last, but we’ll give it a go.

I suppose if you’re reading this, you probably know me and odds are you’re not signed up on Twitter (based on my “followers”).  If that’s the case, sign up at twitter.com and look me up.  Please!

And, if you use a Blackberry, might I suggest a small app called Twitterberry.  It makes it a whole lot easier to “tweet”, and uses the data service as opposed to SMS (text message), which can get rather expensive depending on your service provider and plan.

Friends and Family

My best bud from college came by to visit today.  He lives across the country, so it was nice to spend a few minutes with him and one of his little girls.

In the pic are (from left to right) his daughter, my buddy, my son, and the cool guy in the glasses is my nephew.  What a crew.

Random Question - Color Swatches??

My family recycles as much as we can. Tonight, while breaking down a cardboard box, my eye caught one of the little color swatches located on the small tab on the top of the box. I suppose I see them all the time, but I took a second glance at this one for some reason. “What is it there for?”, I asked myself.

On almost every box in my pantry, I found something similar to the swatches in the picture. Some have numbers and letters on them, others only have colors, some only have gray-scale swatches. The most common pattern is a group of squares, but some packages have circles. There isn’t a pattern from what I can tell.

What are these used for? I can only guess that they are some sort of quality control for the colors used in the printing of the box. But, that doesn’t make sense for the grays, letters, etc.

I hope it’s not a stupid question…if someone can answer it, you’ll help me sleep a little better at night.
