file under awesome


This is awesome. from the friend that sent this to me:
‘I’m trying to imagine how the conversation went with the publicist setting up the shoot.
“Ok guys, put on these matching T-shirts and tight linen pants. Paul, roll yours up a bit, like capri pants. Perfect! Now run past the photographer…laughing, laughing, good good! Oh that’s magic! I got chills!”
That’s just precious. They look like they’re on their honeymoon.’ - fcole
Twitter Is About To Stop Being Cool
So, this is the first post where I break my rule. This is the first post of something not being filed under awesome rather this is something that is uncool. Just like how that little band that you loved so much before they hit it big and all of the mainstream fans started making it impossible to go to one of their conerts, Twitter has gone down the same path.
I really liked the small, tidy underground service that kept me up to date on the minor minutia of my friends and people I don’t know. No matter what happened, Twitter was always there for me. Now however, it seems that they have grown too big for their own britches. Flooded by corporate sponsorships, pesky advertisers and frat guys (jk, but you did overtake my favorite concerts), Twitter is becoming nearly impossible to use. At first it was really easy to sign in and enjoy. Now it is next to impossible to buy a beer or use the rest room (oops, that was concerts again).
I’m hoping that Twitter can upgrade to a bigger venue soon. Otherwise, I’ll have to go find a new band to follow.

Awesome. Although if you’ve seen the show recently (don’t judge me), our beloved cookie monster now regards cookies as “sometimes” foods and is a spokesperson for a politically correct junk food moderation campaign. Oh, the days of youth.
