For me, it's actually more like a pre-blog, where the ideas/thoughts - the ones I don't have enough passion-knowledge-chi to write a whole blahg about - end up.

I wish I could link to the actual post but I just have to create an asides widget better than how I modified your plugin.

I don’t have any desire to become an essayist like <a href="http://randsinrepose.com">Rands</a> and I believe that some of the <span class="nobr"> :scare: humanity :/scare: </span> of my blog is being lost to my Twitter updates. However, Twitter also encourages me to post things I’d never blog about so sucking the tweets back into my blog as posts doesn’t seem quite right either. More thought is required.
