DITTO THAT. - Brandice

"I'm no longer jailbroken, so couldn't tell you whether it's currently worth it to jailbreak for scrobbling. I can definitely say that I miss it." - Brandice

"Why thank you! :) I appreciate the compliment. :)" - Brandice

"Yes, you DO make a lot of sense and you raise a lot of valid points. :) And it is definitely important to remember that my etiquette and my critique of Twitter use comes from the way I use it personally, and it's not for everyone. A lot of people use it for massive amounts of constant concise information, and I use it for more personal purpose mostly. When it comes to professional Twitter accounts though, I think it's important to consider both vantage points, which is where I think this particular account got it wrong. I'm sure that I get it wrong some of the time as well. ;) Thanks for your musings on the topic... very interesting read!" - Brandice

"I tend to do a lot more of the ignore button response these days for sure, but yeah, every once in a while it's good to just get the irritation out of your system. ;) haha" - Brandice

"I'm very open to dissenting opinions (and I certainly don't think we're reached a level that could be called quarreling), but in this case there's a very obvious bias on your part, including the fact that you yourself are often retweeted by this particular account when the retweeted msgs have nothing to do with the subject of the account, and I had correctly guessed that you're acquainted with the person who runs the account. It's not really a dissenting opinion, it's more of a "hey, don't blog about your frustrations toward my friend, meanie" in a way that's somewhat silly, since a personal blog is for speaking about personal opinions, to which I'm entitled. I haven't heard a real disagreement with my frustration, simply that you don't think I should have publicly talked about my frustration toward your friend on my blog. While I am quick to call out a real social media douchebag, that's certainly not what I've done with this post, because while I don't like the way the Twitter..." - Brandice

""If the behavior offends you, simply unfollow and move on. If you want to see the account be more helpful, be kind and give positive suggestions. That is a win win for all." If you read the entire blog entry, you'll remember that I've already explained why I didn't just unfollow and move on, and I also mention that I did actually make a direct comment to the account that was simply ignored. That is the point at which I chose to reflect on this particular type of frustration on my personal blog. The implication or perception that I handled it some other way just seems to indicate that you've chosen to take only bits and pieces from this entry and that you've only come by to defend someone who is probably your friend/colleague rather than read what I've written from an objective standpoint. I don't disagree with last part of your last comment at all, because... well, it's basically what I did. Even this entry, written after directly commenting to the account via Twitter, is written to..." - Brandice

"Your initial comparison is more of an apples and oranges comparison, really. A personal Twitter account is entirely different from a Twitter account that represents a specific recurring community event. You and I barely know one another, so of course you would be more interested in anything an arts-related account would have to say. My account specifically related to my book would never contained updates about my food or random comings and goings, while my personal account is just for people who know me personally and like to see a more personal side of me (and I them). In terms of calling someone out, I'm not even sure who's doing it (the person who runs the account), so I didn't name any names and didn't directly refer to the account that frustrated me. AND, I most certainly did make a comment via Twitter prior to posting this write-up and the posting of non-First Friday material on the First Friday account continued (I guess now I've directly eluded to the offending party, but oh..." - Brandice

I looove Mary Oliver's poetry. :) - Brandice from Likaholix

It's my own poetry... I have to like it! :) - Brandice from Likaholix

Best ice cream EVER! - Brandice from Likaholix

I LOVE Google Voice. :) - Brandice from Likaholix

"From what I know (and I'm not necesssarily as up to date on things as I used to be), Blip is still a good way to go, with at least a crosspost to YouTube. Given that YouTube is the main service that plays nice with the iPhone, I really think it's a must. Let me know if you've got a fun video project in the works... I don't want to miss it! :)" - Brandice

"Pssssht. Not EVEN, unless you have unpublished trades or issues. I'm reading the issues now instead of waiting on trades. This is (I think) the most recent trade, but I've read all the issues after it." - Brandice

"Thanks! You know, I hadn't really considered an audio version... will look into this. Thanks for planting the bug in my ear! :) If you have awesome tips on doing that, lemme know. The book itself is 48 pages long, so it's not an epic and it's less than 30 poems, but still... having an audio version would add a little something extra. :)" - Brandice

""I still have nightmares of doing a weekly, video podcast and how much work that was." Nightmares? Gotta say, that stings a bit. I thought we had a lot of fun. I wish you well on this new endeavor. Hope it goes well for you." - Brandice

"Yep, they had a warm up band, Two Man Gentleman Band was the name, I believe. They weren't bad at all. :)" - Brandice

Great guide. :) - Brandice

This is such a copout... who fixes and improves the areas that are constantly being moved away from if we all just bail when we don't like where we're at? - Brandice

"Man, I really want to do this next year!!" - Brandice

"Great shot! :)" - Brandice

"Thanks, David!! :)" - Brandice

"I loooooooooove primates, especially gorillas. Love these shots. :)" - Brandice

"So true! Late afternoon/early evening just seems to warm everything and give it these completely rich feel... Glad I'm not the only one who's noticed everything *that* much more now that I'm trying to capture it. :)" - Brandice

"Oh god... that's a bummer. :(" - Brandice

"Nicely done! :)" - Brandice

"Jealous! :( I hope my sister mails my journal soon. :(" - Brandice
