Been tweeting.

Avoided it for eons, figuring people were hearing from me enough.  But I was implored by many to join the ranks, and since you’ve got to opt in, I’ve decided to take the plunge.

First I had to reclaim my name.  There was an impostor under one and a squatter on another.  But a friend hooked me up with the Twitter people, who gave me back my rights, so I’m set up.

Was gonna start tweeting in NYC, telling people I was at the Apple Store, but I wasn’t ready yet.  I guess this is just justification, letting you know I was planning on using Twitter before Amanda Palmer tracked me down.

But I’m writing this not because of my utilization of Twitter, but what I tweeted about.  Do you know that Paul McCartney has multiple songs about rain?

Was gonna go hiking with a buddy, but he ultimately decided to pass, because of the rain.  And when he finally decided to forgo our adventure, after I did my back exercises, just before I was gonna sit down and eat some dinner, I got an urge to hear "Mamunia", the first song on the second side of "Band On The Run".

And that led me to "London Town".

And then I realized Paul had an album entitled "Driving Rain"…

Was it conscious?  Or is it about growing up in England, where the rain is a given?

I’m not sure, but I’ve made a playlist in Rhapsody and am listening via my Sonos and the sound is soothing me.

Twitter Account NOT Suspended

Ah, technology.

My inbox is stuffed with people who say my Twitter account has been suspended. It has not. The person who hijacked my name, "BobLefsetz", their account has been suspended.

Let me make this a bit clearer.

If you click on "Find People" at the top of Twitter, and search on "Lefsetz" in the box that comes up, you come up with three accounts, NONE of which are mine.

Forgetting "fakeLefsetz" and "NotLefsetz", "BobLefsetz" was an impostor and that account has now been suspended.

Alas, where is the real account, the one I’m tweeting under, "Lefsetz"? I DON’T KNOW!

I’ve e-mailed my contact at Twitter to let them know of this problem. That the suspended account appears and not the real one.

But, THERE IS A WORKAROUND!

Go to http://search.twitter.com and type in "Lefsetz".

Then all you have to do is click on any "@lefsetz" listed in the resulting tweets and it will bring you to my real account, "@Lefsetz" and you can click and follow me at this point.

Let the games begin!
