I currently practice IP law in Silicon Valley and have an unhealthy obsession with coding, photography, Apple, gadgets, artificial intelligence, and all things Internet.

More than anything, this space is an outlet for sharing and commenting on things I'm currently involved in, infatuated with, or annoyed by, and it just so happens that a lot of those things have to do with computers.

Twitter: work is slowly, but surely killing me. literally. :\ 10 hrs ago

Have my witty, sarcastic, and thoughtful pieces left you chomping at the bit for the next installment? If yes (or no), you may wish to subscribe (RSS). If you have no idea what RSS is, but still want an invitation to the daily syndication party, you can receive updates by e-mail instead.

Shhh! Don’t tell them they’re twittering!

February 24, 2008

I use Facebook (yeah, I finally bit the bullet a few months ago) for one thing and one thing only: to check my friends’ status updates (using the corresponding RSS feed and Yahoo! Pipes¹; you didn’t think I actually logged in did you?). What’s funny is that some friends currently using Facebook pooh-poohed my earlier insistence that they use Twitter, and now here they are dropping “tweets” left and right on Facebook.

I filter out updates from those people to whom I subscribe on both Facebook and Twitter and who use Twitter to update their Facebook status, else I’d see those updates twice (i.e., on Twitter and through the Facebook feed).↑
