Oh, so THAT's what Twitter is good for!

When I first saw it I though, oh maybe it has a GPS and it could broadcast the location of your dog. That would be cool...

Nope.

Ok, maybe it has senors you can install here and there that trigger a Twitter message when the dog goes by?

Nope.

In fact it pretty much does nothing. Just like Twitter; utterly useless 140 characters at a time.

The End of the World

"Harold Camping lets out a hearty chuckle when he considers the people who believe the world will end in 2012.
"That date has not one stitch of biblical authority," Camping says from the Oakland office where he runs Family Radio, an evangelical station that reaches listeners around the world. "It's like a fairy tale."
The real date for the end of times, he says, is in 2011."

Wow, is that funny or just sad?
People have been talking about the end of the world, and predicting it, for as long as there have been people. I always wonder if people like this are disappointed when the world doesn't end.
