During a marvelous conversation of the Skype variety with Karl Haro von Mogel and Ariela Haro von Mogel this morning over a project that I cannot reveal too many details about, the topic of Twitter came up. For years now ever since Twitter started, I slowly came from thinking, “I don’t understand the point,” to “Oh, yes, I supposed I get it now,” about Twitter. When they asked me if I had a Twitter account I told them no, but that their asking was perhaps the final nudge to push me over the edge to join the Twitterverse.
So here it is. My first tweet ever. It’s a bit exciting!
Have you ever thought what it's like to be wanderers in the fourth dimension? #williamhartnell

Beware of sandbags that might fall in these early days of learning the ropes, but I believe you can “follow” me at (or is it @) ThomasCLang1 where I shall compose “tweets.”
I wish I didn’t have to have the 1 in my name that begins with “at,” but what can you do when you wait ’til mid morning to discover that other birds outsmarted me, and I have to pick from the bits of worm strewn about after the smorgasbord.
Lastly, I think I’m beginning to understand the reason for hashtags, as it feels different this time.
“…what can you do when you wait ’til mid morning to discover that other birds outsmarted me, and I have to pick from the bits of worm strewn about after the smorgasbord.”
Ha! That’s brilliant Tom. Why do you think I’m @toomanynotes_ with a little subtle line after my name? I too was beat by other birds in the smorgasboard. 🙂
