Now on Twitter

So, hey: because regurgitating things I find online to put in a blog wasn't enough-- now I'm doing it on Twitter.

@teameckent is the name to check (no, I don't even know what an @ identity is called...)

I tried linking the account to this blog, so it's all together (and I'm trying to comment on things I watch/read on it because 140 characters is less intimidating than writing actual paragraphs), but the two hours of trying to add a feed to the blog just didn't work.

So if you're on Twitter, check me out.
