Funny how the recent nice weather seemingly became a catalyst for my (somewhat) luddite friends to adopt Twitter. The attractiveness of the service was lost in me since so many in my close social circle were signed up, so I followed a few “A-list” bloggers and didn’t really get much out of it. Now that my followers group has reached a tipping point, it’s become more fun. This is why startups thrive in good climates. If my friends and I lived in this weather all the time then I think we’d turn into the early-adopting, techno-hipsters that litter1 the streets of San Francisco and the Valley instead of the callused, cynical, east-coast bitters that belong in my afternoon Negroni2.

1. @mikesparandara: I don’t consider you litter. In my eyes you’re totally recyclable.
2. As if I could handle a drink in the afternoon. Honestly. I have the tolerance of a 7-year-old anemic girl after a blood donation.
