Well I've finally succumbed to the peer pressure of it all and started using twitter. For a short while a few years ago I shared an office with super-hacker Blaine Cook who left Vancouver to become the chief architect of the twitter service. I have great respect for Blaine's skills and politics and I probably should have paid closer attention to what he thought was important.

In any event, I've only been using it for a couple of days now and today I received the message that Buddhist monk and peace activist, Thich Nhat Hahn, is following me (on twitter). Turns out it's the staff organizing his American tour but it's still super-rad!
