So when I suggested earlier this week that perhaps we should all have a dark day from time to time I didn’t mean for Twitter to take it personally – especially not during the work week.
Could have done without their servers (and Facebook and Friendfeed) crashing yesterday — but looks like we survived.

- Forwarded emails with “RT @username” in the subject line

- Sent txt messages to all my friends telling them “I’m eating quesadillas for #lunch”
