I have truly enjoyed your blog (and your books) for some time now, but find the transition to the oh-so-trendy, but less than satisfying twitters to be disappointing.
Sure, it's less work, but aren't words your stock in trade? You're an artist with words! Short little snippets of thoughts are like stick figures rather than a full canvas.
I suppose it's inevitable that the world will become used to communication in 140 letters or less, but it will be a sad day when that happens.

Given the way the weekdays go, I will likely only have time to write lengthier blog posts on weekends. Twitter lets me update in three different places--Lj, Twitter, and Facebook--with relative ease. I don't use it all the time, but sometimes it's fun. And it can be more of a challenge to compress a day into 140 characters than into three or four paragraphs.
I'm glad to hear that you like reading my blog posts. Sometimes I fear they're a little dull.

Signing your name would have been fine, too.
