Post 801

Wow. This is our #801 blog post. Good thing about the writing-intensive college edumacation, eh? There are days when blogging seems like a wasteland—as-in “I got nothing.” I hate it. I don’t want to. Why should I? Who cares? Then there’s Twitter. On days when there’s not much to say, Twitter becomes the fav, where we can just say something stupid very quickly or retweet someone else’s stuff without really having to think. … How do people manage it all?
Overall, it’s insanely time-consuming to keep up with all the beer sites, adding events to several calendars, following the right Tweeple, maintaining Facebook, making sure the beer list is up to date. (Btw, it isn’t. My bad.) After interviewing for a vlog yesterday, our illustrious team of web helpers suggest we consider adding video to the site with the redesign. (Ah, The Redesign, a whole ‘nother crisis in the making. Shopping cart requires Excel for sort features and Excel & I are, well, total and complete enemies. I may just dish that job onto Jason. Otherwise I would like to challenge Excel to duel, old-fashioned style.) Then we’re told we should register the hash tag #beerlanthropy and something else about the Urban Dictionary. What is all this? I usually feel a half-step behind and about 25% as cool as I should be. We will, however, likely add Flickr to the new site. We like Flickr.
Today is one of those days. And by that, I mean, I’m craving a rotary phone and possibly getting a handwritten letter in the mail. *head explodes*
