Since I monitor my Twitter via the RSS feed in Google Reader, I don’t go to the site much. I was there today and noticed that I totally have been missing my Twitter Replies. There’s no RSS feed for them by default.

Dilemma…. How do I get an RSS feed of my replies?

Ahh, Yahoo Pipes, of course:

Check this puppy out: Twitter Reply Sniffer with Dates

Enter your Twitter username, click Run Pipe and then click the orange RSS feed button.

Voila.

Scientists figure out the platypus

I can rest easy tonight knowing that scientists have figured out the platypus.

With a bill like a duck, a tail like a beaver and snake-like venom hidden in heel spurs, the platypus could be the result of some strange genetic experiment.

And it is, scientists say: evolution.

Well of course they said it was evolution. Shocking.

By comparing platypus genes to those of humans and other mammals, scientists hope to fill in the gaps about mammals’ evolution and better identify species’ specific traits.

Ahh, the ever-elusive transitional evidence.  That’ll be the day.

Al Gore blames Myanmar cyclone on Global Warming

Yeah, that’s right. Al Gore is now blaming the Myanmar cyclone on Global Warming.

And last year a catastrophic storm from last fall hit Bangladesh. The year before, the strongest cyclone in more than 50 years hit China – and we’re seeing consequences that scientists have long predicted might be associated with continued global warming.

Um…OK, Mr. Gore.

Let’s not forget the real cause of Global Warming:

Ethanol is not the answer

How long is it going to take before everyone sees Ethanol isn’t the answer to our dependence on fossil fuels?

Those that are cramming “going green” down are throats are wrong about Ethanol as a renewable resource.

You didn’t need me to tell you that.  We’re feeling it aren’t we?

We’re creating fuel at the expense of our food supply.

Uncomfortable situations

A few uncomfortable situations for me:

  • talking to people in the bathroom
  • the moment right after I said something I shouldn’t have
  • having a thought that was there and now it’s not
  • tripping and falling over something
  • seeing something that’s crooked (as in not level) and not being able to change it
  • hearing someone being criticized
  • trying to lead when I have no idea what I’m doing
  • screwing up something I said I was good at
  • figuring out where to start on something complicated

How about you? Have any?
