For anyone who’s still paying attention, you may have noticed that my rate of posting on this blog has dropped just a wee bit.

When I launched this site back in November 2003, I mainly used it as a place to toss interesting links I’d found, usually with a snarky comment or two. As time went on, my posts got longer and longer. Unfortunately, my rate of posting dropped accordingly. I went from post 5 times an hour, to 5 times a week, to 5 times a month, to 5 times a year.

Since I rarely have time nowadays to write the long posts full of trenchant sarcasm and brilliant wit for which I have become world renowned, I have decided to start rocking it old-school style. I’m going back to my roots: short, punchy posts with lightning flashes of blinding insight, punctuated with the occasional link to Brazilian fart porn.

Now, whenever I have a brilliant thought (about every 8.4 seconds, at last count), I’m going to blast it to Twitter. Why? Because I firmly believe that, in today’s culture, anything worth saying can be said in 140 characters or less.

This is the wave of the future, people. Soon you’ll see all political and intellectual discourse in America parsed this way. A 90-minute State Of The Union address? Bah! Wait until the MySpace generation elects their president.
