Optimal Tweet Length

Spaceman-Spiff August 4th, 2010

Twitter has 140-character limit for all tweet posts. A lot of people try to maximize the use of this limit, getting as close as 140 characters as possible. However, if you’re expecting people to retweet (RT) your posts, 140-character is not the optimal tweet length.

R2-D2 was Really an Imperial Mole

Spaceman-Spiff April 26th, 2010

Just read this story today posted by Typical_SW_Fan on GameFAQs:

R2-D2 was really an Imperial mole

Everyone thinks he was some great robot hero but he wasn’t. He was just a mole working undercover for the Empire. He knew all along who Darth Vader really was, but did he say anything to anyone? No. Why was this? Because he was secretly getting his orders directly from the Sith Lord! (Read more)

Garfield: “This must not be life”

Spaceman-Spiff April 12th, 2010

This was shared on “What’s Hot in Google Reader” over the weekend. I pondered why, it was not even funny. But then it hits me: the punchline is a self-referencing joke.

Not-so-New Year Resolution

Spaceman-Spiff February 11th, 2010

I don’t really believe in making new year’s resolutions. When my friends or coworkers ask what my new year’s resolution is, I always answer “I got none”. I think it’s pointless. You can make resolutions any time of the year, so why do you have to make one for the new year just because everyone else is doing it? Besides, most people usually quit doing their NY resolutions just weeks after the new year. That’s probably because most of them only have a new year’s resolution for the sake of having one, not because they really resolute.

So, it’s still not that far from the New Year’s Day, hence the title, and I have two resolutions:
