For today's daily swong I'm going to begin elaborating on the origins of upSWONG. First let's begin by defining an upswing. up-swing 1. an upward swing or trend 2. a big increase, improvement or advancement When asked what makes an upSWONG different than an upswing, semi-pro online poker player and backer Craig Smith replied, “Hmmmmm…it’s just better. I mean, it’s a swong.”...

Stella and I have become quite serious about our daily walking regimen. We crush a fast pace for about 30 minutes daily and we're both in pretty damn good shape from it. But winter is coming up and what's poor Stella to do? Behold... the Snuggie for dogs... ...

TweetDeck for the iPhone

I'm a huge fan of TweetDeck for Twittering from my laptop and netbook. I love everything about it ...the columns, the built in URL shortener, the custom colors, the ability to handle multiple accounts, the whole interface, even the Facebook integration when I decide that Facebook doesn't drive me insane. I always think to myself how much I wish I could have TweetDeck on my Storm. Well I can't but guess where I can have it? Yea, you got it...there's a fricken TweetDeck app for the iPhone and iPod...

I have a few Twitter accounts but I don't use them much except to tweet new blog entries whenever I write an article for a site. I follow tons of people, but I rarely read their entries because...well...I really don't care that "they're driving around the parking lot at Walmart trying to find a spot" or "having a touch of heart burn after a slice of pizza" lol. But today I experienced some of the best of Twitter. It's been a while since I've had a Twitter client on my BlackBerry and I kno...
