Getting You Through Your Workday

The new and improved Star Trek rocked. I loved the lens flare look and it did add something to the look that worked in an outer space setting. I did hear someone who was walking out of the the theater that there was lens flare everywhere, including the bathroom.
He must have went home and made this little video.

Some eerie similarities between Lost and Star Trek. Not as funny as I had hoped but there are a couple of gems in there.

Besides the fact he is lying he should be fired for not lying in a competent manner. HR should be commmended for leaving the rope for the guy to hang himself on the lie. Idiot. I am submitting this to Dumbelievable.com for consideration.

I am a very mild user on Twitter. I have another account besides the @workcandy. and I use Seesmic and Twhirl to keep up on the web. On my phone I use Twidroid, which hasn’t been acting well.
15 minutes ago I noticed some extra flair on Twitter.
Power Twitter is right.
Finally they added a URL shortener. That is the main reason I looked for other Twitter clients. It was annoying to get on another site, shorten the copied url, copy that, and paste into Twitter.
I don’t know what I think of adding pictures directly in the stream. It begs for more pictures to be added and for spammers to hock their wares. Time will tell if photos are good or not. Eventually, and maybe they have, they might add a “no photo, just link” option in the Twitter stream.
And probably my biggest frustration and the one that creates the Twitter client necessity, RETWEETS!!! Once again this might be something that gets abused but I love to be Retweeted and love to share with others the cool stuff that is out there. This is huge.
One a smaller scale, but very helpful, if you roll your mouse over the avatars of people someone is following you will see their latest tweets saving you the time of jumping back and forth trying to find useful people to follow.
Twitter just got really smart and powerful to be sure. And they will make money. Just like crack, it’s always free at first. I think they could add a line with advertising and most wouldn’t notice a week after it started.

This is awesome on a couple of levels. You could do this on your lunch break.

I love things that allow you to do what you want at work without being discovered. For the NCAA tournament, CBS and others offered a “Boss Button” where you could quickly change screens from the game to something that looked like work. It was clever though if 15 guys in the office all “worked” on that same page, even a stupid boss might catch on.
Twitter has become an overnight sensation after three years. The majority of you didn’t hear about it until the last six months. So with all of the different ways to view Twitter such as Tweetdeck, Twhirl, DestroyTwitter, and Seesmic Desktop, what should you use?
Go check out the Twitter Spreadsheet by this pretty creative guy and enjoy the WorkCandy.
