I’m a Jack of All Trades, Master of Being a Jack of All Trades
Years ago my roommate asked me how I managed to get up every morning and go to work. Even at 19 I found it to be an odd question.

Posting to Facebook through Twitter, TweetDeck, Hootsuite & other Third Party Apps
So I've always had a hunch that there was something wrong with Facebook whenever I used a third party app to post my Facebook statuses.

The Universe Acts in Strange Ways
