The new Twitter homepage

The new Twitter homepage, originally uploaded by blaircook.

I just logged onto Twitter from my home computer and to my surprise I was greeted by an entirely new homepage when not logged in.

Here is the update from Twitter:

Today we’re trying a redesigned front page for folks who are new to Twitter.com. If you’re a regular around these parts, then you won’t notice the new look unless you sign out of your account. Helping people access Twitter in more relevant and useful ways upon first introduction lowers the barrier to accessing the value Twitter has to offer and presents the service more consistently with how it has evolved.

Posting from the LoveSac bus

Just got picked up from the Venetian on the LoveSac party bus heading to IWSIV - posting on WiFi from a bus on the Las Vegas strip - not a bad way to blog. Must go… there is a fridge full of beer about 6 feet away from me.

A beautiful day in Oregon

Sitting in a Peet’s having a mocha - wow what a nasty day in the PNW.

Happy Halloween

Here is my CS3 inspired pumpkin.

This is the view from the notorious “A gates” of Alaska/Horizon at PDX. This is my least favorite area of the Portland airport; too many gates, bad AC, crowded, few power outlets.

With the weather this nasty I can be satisfied in knowing that whether here at the airport or at home I would be surfing the net and passing time.

Next stop Vancouver, BC then on to Osaka.
