I Miss Baseball Twitter

99.9% of the time, I don’t miss Twitter. I don’t miss the nonsense and drama and public shaming and ill conceived thoughts.

But something I was acutely aware might happen was that once baseball season started, I’d feel a small void from not being able to live tweet games.

And I felt it when Aaron Judge hit his first HR of the year, in his first at-bat of the season.

I won’t be going back to Twitter for all of the reasons I stated above (I still get news from my Baseball Twitter list thanks to Reader by Readwise), but I might be turning to Mastodon more…at least during baseball season.

    Highrise HQ (from the former 37signals) has a new app for the iPhone. When I was freelancing, and even at the University, I was big into the 37signals Suite – Basecamp, Highrise, Campfire, & Backpack. Now that I do considerably less side work, the price just isn’t worth it. I still need a way to…

    Note: This article was published while I was in my early 20s. I was much younger and dumber. Please don’t hold it against me. One of the perils of having a 20+ year old website! Dear Yankees, If you acquire Barry Bonds, I will be very, very disappointed. And beyond pissed. I will lose a…

    I’m getting the itch to write another book. It’s been about 2 years since I really got into the groove of writing Responsive Design with WordPress and about a year and a half since it came out. I’ve been kicking around a lot of ideas to coincide with other projects I’m working on, including 100 Words and TIL…

    NASA just released photos of Pluto. Honest to goodness, “Look we can actually see stuff on the surface” photos, from a space craft that launched in January of 2006. I was still in college and knew very little about anything. We sent a camera 3 billion miles into space to take pictures of a thing…
