There was that video from Common Craft which urged me to getting twitter‘ed’. It could prove efficient to pack all my bunch of net stumbles : just like some sort of SMSing+micro micro blogging - I think just micro blogging would be Tumblr.
Since I am in Utah at the moment getting PADI dive certified and hence won’t likely be publishing anything substantial until Tuesday or Wednesday, I thought I’d take the chance to run a kind of experiment with viral marketing.

So, several of my buddies out there are doing this particular meme. I don't as a rule enjoy these sorts of things, but this one seemed relatively harmless and fun. So, there it is, then.This meme has been circulating the internet for a while now. Here are the rules if you'd like to play:1. Leave me a comment saying "Interview Me."2.

An Amish boy and his father were visiting a nearby mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny silver walls that moved apart and back together again by themselves.The lad asked, "What is this, father?"The father (having never seen an elevator) responded, "I have no idea what it is."While the boy and his father were watching wide-eyed, an old lady in a wheelchair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched as small circles lit up above the walls.The walls opened up again and a beautiful twenty-four-year-old woman stepped out.The father looked at his son anxiously and said, "Go get your mother."
