{article} There's an art to writing on Facebook or Twitter -- really

A while back I posted about Twitter. Today I read a new article relating to the nonsense people choose or not choose to read from their tweeting friends. The entire left panel of this article lists the DOs and DON'Ts. I especially agree with "DONT: Tweet like some celebs"... EXACTLY: They don't know how to write!... They leave out crucial facts. One wonders if there will be a revolution from this instant message madness where Twitter and Facebook accounts will require the "joiner" to write a complete sentence that makes sense and actually contains something of substance in less than 15 seconds.

Sugar, Spice, and Cartoonstitute

Famous for creating the girls known for "saving the world before bedtime" aka The Powerpuff Girls, creator Craig McCracken and Dexter's Laboratory creator Rob Renzetti have formed Cartoonstitute, "a new initiative designed to dramatically increase the animation development slate" for the Cartoon Network. I hope it really means it will create a lot of new jobs for people in the U.S. and not use cheap labor in foreign countries. I do love the shows that use this cheap labor, however there are so many promising animators-in-training in the U.S. eager to work for a television network like The Cartoon Network. I'll be watching for any developments so check back at Wednesday's Korner for word of any new shows.

 

Update: 11/08/2020 the above link is updated to shed light on why it wasn't developed beyond the formation.

Aliens among us; it's in the fungus

The former governor of Arizona just announced that he did indeed see the mysterious lights over Arizona in 1997 better known as the Phoenix lights. "'It was bigger than anything that I've ever seen'" he says. Uh-huh.

I'm waiting for the next invasion and not this one, as I read an article attempting to debunk the red rain that fell in India in 2001.

I'm a fan of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956 and 1978 movies) and wonder if the drones that serve me coffee in some establishments are they way they are because they've been switched. Though I do have to say that I seldom answer honestly when they ask me how am I doing when all I need is a large coffee to get my heart moving in the morning. "Oh, fine, hanging in there," yet I am really wondering "How many earth creatures have you snatched lately?" It is rather a cult, routine coffee rituals from morning to night. I try to go to different places so as to spread the wealth. My favorites are often the locally-based chains rather than the national chains or not a chain but an isolated internet-friendly cafe needing a friendly face to serve.

Osment did NOT see the mailbox

Here we go, Haley Joel Osment hit a mailbox and now everyone will be joking that he can see dead people but he cannot see a mailbox. I bet it will end up on one of those More of Best Celebrity Ooops! (an extra "o" for extra oops) on VH1 or E!. The DUI and possession charges are not going to sit right with all of those insurance companies that have to insure his future film productions. We can see he's already better at the whole "being arrested" process than some of his other peers in the movie world. However he probably should be ashamed that he was caught driving a '95 Saturn. I have not found a mugshot of him. I can't imagine that he had as good a time as Joshua Jackson had in his photo moment.

Of course, Wednesday hopes he can recover from his injuries in time to film a remake of "The Late Great Me! Story of a Teenage Alcoholic" which was an award-winning After School special back in 1979. This should be a part of his community service (as opposed to jail). The story should be updated to include use of cell phones, the Internet, MySpace, laser pointers, cars with DVD players, and updated snacks! Life was sure less exciting when people got wasted in '79, huh?
