Wednesday

The first hot and humid day of the Summer. 85 plus humidity today. Not my kind of weather. I'm camping out in my basement this evening. Amazing what a good dehumidifier can do for creature comforts.

4's television station has a Twitter address. Check it out: channel8abc. KLKN television in Lincoln.

I'm thinking that Twitter will fail as a business proposition. Reality has it's limits. While there is an element of vicarious interest in a celebrity's activities, everybody gets tired of everybody after a while. Who cares if Brit had a footlong at Subway?

Relatedly, the social networking site MySpace laid off 400 people this week (30% of it's workforce). The dynamic just keeps evolving. What worked last year is now passe.

Tiger Woods takes a lot of heat for his keeping his distance from the public. But with camera phones, instant messaging, Twitter, and the blogsphere, no one is safe from prying eyes and mud-rakers. Can you say Michael Phelps?

Another weekend with the fam on the move. C-town. Lincoln. Who knows with 3? Then it's the StL a week from Friday.

Can Mauer hit .400?

More later.

I will actually be in Boston! For once! Although, don't worry, it won't be downtime or anything; Ryan is coming up from DC for a Bosox game Saturday. Forecast says rain, but I'm hoping not. We've had 60 and cloudy for what feels like a month... Boston has NO IDEA what June means.
