Ok, so Melody introduced me to this new form of social blogging, Twitter. As I can’t explain it any better than her, I’ll give you her explanation:

“Twitter is like abbreviated blogging! With every twitter message (or “tweet”) you send, you’re supposed to answer the question, “What are you doing.” Each “tweet” is limited to just 140 characters, so you can’t get long-winded. It’s supposed to be quick note to let the community and/or your designated twitter friends know what you’re up to. I like it b/c I just get a quick snapshot from time to time of what my friends are doing. Some ppl use it as a dialogue, but I try to use it in its most literal sense– which is to answer the question of what you’re doing and not as a conversation vehicle (but I’ve cheated a few times). Anyway, you should check it out! www.twitter.com.”

so… do ya’ll get it? you can check out my twitter at twitter.com/_mikey_ Try it out, its cool. You can ‘tweet’ via your IM program, sending a text with your phone, or by logging on directly to twitter.com. For those of you who, for some reason or another, don’t have unlimitted texting on your phones this may be not as effective. So suck it up and pay the extra five – ten bones a month.

Ever wondered what so-n-so is up to? Twitter yo! DoIt!

Got another adition to the new place last week. The Bombo Stools by Magis! I got them from my sisters Italian house goods “showroom” Disegno Italiano. These stools are soo cool, nice clean design, and surprising comfortable for not having any cushion. I guess it could be uncomfortable with some who may have a prominent Apple Bottom or seasonal Pumpkin Bottom. Then again, maybe it would be perfect. If you’d like to find out for yourself, come on over to the loft *ahem* new apt and take a seat. Bombo Stool. Mikey Loves Bombo!

So the gauntlet has been thrown down to all 4 listeners here at loft. A challenge of sorts I suppose and it goes something like this: Name all the artists and the songs (forget the samples and the beats) in order in my latest posted mix, and not only receive the gift I just won from Mikey, but I will also throw in a small token of participation….i mean appreciation. Here’s a few hints:

1. ” “- Jimmy Eat World
6. Bend Not Break – ” “
8. ” ” – Taking Back Sunday
9. Radio – ” “

Podcast Time! Ok, here we go, a little rusty but we’re back again!!!! Here is a short little feeler podcast to see if any of ya’ll are still out there. I can’t help to think that your feeds have been coming up short from Loft405 for some time now. My apologies. This is for you, any of you, who are still out there with your podcast aggregators pointed to our site. If you are new to the loft get your podcast fetcher pointed or subscribed to our rss feed! Enjoy!
