Many (most?) people post updates to multiple Social Networks. Rather than hand-picking which networks get which updates, most of the multi-network types (nearly all?) post the identical update to all networks, simultaneously, automatically. There are many ways to do that, including services specifically meant to accomplish that (Ping.fm, FriendFeed, etc.), or multi-protocol clients (Seesmic, TweetDeck, [...]

Wicked Still Rules
Having previously seen Wicked eight times, it generally takes an external event to get us to go again. Of course, we are constantly on the lookout for such events, so it’s not hard to get us to go. A few weeks ago, friends of ours mentioned that seeing Wicked was high on their list. Our [...]
Happy Birthday Lois
I’ve mentioned that Lois just had a birthday in May in three separate posts: The Paper Raincoat and Ian Axel at Mercury Lounge The Addams Family Ian Axel and Joey Ryan at Rockwood Music Hall In fact, many of our friends (and family) had May birthdays, at least one even more significant than Lois’ (see [...]
Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson at The Public Theater
I am about to be pretty harsh in my review of Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson which we saw last night at The Public Theater. If you’re a fan of the show, you might want to turn away now. If you don’t like reading anything critical of anything or anybody, turn away now. I will only [...]
Lost and Found Karma
In 2000, my most trusted device was my Blackberry. This was before Blackberrys were also cell phones. This was only an email device. It was perfect for my needs, and I loved it. I went on a trip to San Francisco and I knew before I left that my belt clip was very loose. I [...]
Wonderful Weekend Wedding
Heretofore, whenever I saw the letters WWW, I inevitably thought World Wide Web. From now on, when I see WWW, I’ll think Wonderful Weekend Wedding! We have incredible godchildren who’ve brought many blessings into our lives. Among these is the wide circle of wonderful people attracted to them, who’ve become life-long friends of theirs. We’ve [...]
Girlyman at Birchmere
Last night was our 13th time seeing Girlyman live. The last time we saw them was the only time we took no guests. Last night, we set a new record (previously 19 at Highline Ballroom). Including us, we purchased 26 tickets for last night’s show. Two of our expected guests missed their flight in Chicago, [...]
Mary Poppins
Laura and Chris saw Mary Poppins on Broadway last year and raved about it. Aside from Wicked, we rarely see any shows unless we go with friends who are visiting NYC. Chris’ parents are in town visiting them this week, and Chris and Laura bought four tickets to take them to see Mary Poppins. When [...]
Forty Years or One Day?
This was a very big year for two of our dearest friends. In fact, the past 40 days alone have seen a number of milestones and celebrations. The wife just had a big birthday (had a zero at the end), their first grandchild turned one, the husband had a birthday, and to cap it off, [...]
Wes and Hadar’s Excellent Adventure
Many more people participated in one or more of the activities I’m about to list. Only Wes and I enjoyed every single one of them, hence the accurate title. Wes flew up on Thursday morning and I picked him up at Newark Airport. We headed straight to the city and met Lois and two friends [...]
