So long…
There’s about 3 hours left in 2011 here in South Carolina. I’m probably going to do some new years survey thing in the next 24 hours or so. But for right now, I’d like to end this year. And so…
To everyone, my friends, my family, my co-workers, my wife, my God: I have not been all I could have been this year. I have probably let you down at some point this year, and for that I truly apologize. I don’t regret this year; there have been some amazing memories and triumphs this year. But right now I’m painfully aware of my shortcomings. This hasn’t been brought on by one particular thing; it’s just some general depression and anxiety I’m dealing with. And right now I want nothing more than to leave all… (gestures to all of that) this in 2011. In the past.
So here’s to a new leaf, a new beginning. God’s grace is new every day, including tomorrow. Happy new year, everyone; I’ll see you in 2012.

Is This #firstWorldProblems or #thatAwkwardMoment?
Either way, it involves twitter being down because of it being new years day in China and that part of the world, but you can’t tweet about it because twitter’s down.

Petition President Obama to veto SOPA →
The basic gist is this: I don’t trust my elected representatives to understand why this is so bad. I’ve already informed them that I, a lifelong republican, will vote democrat if they vote for this, but I’m not confident that will be enough. So let’s make sure that President Obama knows how important it is that this does not pass. With ~2000 more signatures this will be addressed by someone at the White House.

The New Twitter (R.I.P. Tweetie) →
This. Again. It’s not that I think the new app is bad, just that it’s a downgrade from the previous version (i.e. Tweetie). I’ll also add that they removed the swipe-a-tweet gesture, which means instead of a swipe and two taps to send a link to Instapaper, it’s now a tap, another tap, and then another frantic tap to bring up the “Send to Instapaper” button before the page loads and uses more of my data quota.
