Asides | The Habitation of Justice

What do you think of my “Aside” Posts?

You’ll have to go to the front page of my blog to see them, but I’d like to know what you think so far, particularly if you’re a long time reader who visits my blog directly instead of subscribing to my feed. I was wondering if I should go for a digest format instead, where each random thought I post is grouped into a normal post at the end of the day. What do you think, digest or individual?

Either way I’m definitely gonna stick with it. It’s great fill-in content for between regular posts, keeps my blog more up to date and closer to “real time,” and takes only seconds to write one. I think overall my blogging will be much improved as a result of it (assuming you don’t find my asides as dull and boring as paint peeling off the walls that is.) :tongue:

Those Darned Tweetheads

Lincoln Adams | April 19, 2007 @ 12:14 pm

I really like Twitter and what it offers, but they’ve been getting on my nerves lately. IMs have been getting dropped, service has been erratic, and the lag time in sending tweets or checking my own Twitter page makes me think I’m on dial-up again. When it does work I love it, since it provides an cool alternative for sideblogging/asides, a relatively new phenomenon where bloggers post mini-entries or short notes in a sidebar rather than in a normal blog entry. This feature helps prevent me from cluttering up my blog with short, inane entries of what I happen to be doing or thinking of at the moment, and instead relegates it to a small block on my sidebar (see top right). It also means I can fire off a message from IM or my cell phone without the need to actually go on the web if I want to post a little note on my blog. Muy coolio.
