Often, when I’m walking around the city, I’ll see something that strikes me as the basis for a good blog post, and I’ll make a mental note of it and file it away. Most of these potential blog posts don’t get written, or they don’t get written in time to be timely. Sometimes, what I’ve noticed is an interesting tidbit that doesn’t seem to require a full post but that does merit mention.
So, as an experiment, we’re going to start microblogging these little moments using Twitter. Think of it as public note-taking with an invitation for commentary and further observations. Recent tweets will appear in the sidebar. With luck, these tweets will also serve as a kind of record our lives in the city as the second decade of the century begins.
For the record, we’re @pwhny. (Sorry, Bryan.)

UPDATE: I’ve just discovered that the picture above is displayed by the web-based client when Twitter is momentarily overloaded.
I’ll give it a shot. I sent in my first update, though I’ll have to figure out how to embed links. You can do that w/ twitter, can’t you?
If it had been more self evident or if I had more time to play around with it I would have linked my update about robber barons to this.
The best part of Twitter? The bad puns! Like, The Tweet Smell of Success!
Which reminds me that I need to do more with my Twitter account, like more updates on Matt Dillon sightings…
My whole week in Italy has been organized around bad Baroque puns. “You know why they’re not repairing anything other than 17th-century works, don’t you?” “No. Why?” “Because if it ain’t Baroque, don’t fix it!”
