Well at least according to this post, that I found this morning first on Om’s blog, there are more single females in the STL than single males. That lead me to the actual place where you can test for the best place to live.
Again, this map is from February 2007!
I wonder how many things have changed since that time? The thread of comments on this post are pretty interesting to read. You should scroll down and read about how all Australian men are the worst in bed! This poor girl was ready to move from down under to Minneapolis! Can anyone in the STL help out?
To continue on, you can take the Kiplinger test here. This test is suppose to pick the best city to live in by some choices you make and questions you answer. Real easy, and once you get your list back, you can keep going back and making adjustments. Kind of fun to play around with for a few minutes.
This lead me to find out more as far as the best cities to live, work, and play in for 2008. That list is right here. I haven’t lived nor have I desired to live in any of the top 10 list there, but it’s interesting to read why they were picked and for what reasons. They even had an honorable mention city by the reader’s. I guess the reader’s of Kiplinger didn’t agree with the above list either?
Iron Butt Rally
Now that I have had a day on tweetdeck, I’ll say it does rock over other twitter external tweeting systems. I highly recommend getting it and trying it out at least.
This morning, there was someone I started following the other day who said they didn’t know it was Friday the 13th. I of course called BS on that, being the person was a female figured they had to know that Valentines Day is the 14th and that is tomorrow! I was again proven wrong. After a short “@” exchange, we went to “DM“.
In that conversation, she had stated she wasn’t into V-Day at all, and I said casually “Oh, you are IBR?” IBR in my mind, because people that know me will verify that I do this all the time – make up 3 and 4 letter acronyms for phrases, means “In Between Relationships“. She came back a little bit later and said “Iron Butt Rally?” – with a link to IBR on this site. Apparently there are official definitions for 3 letter acronyms, so I better be careful. Well actually they might get a lot of submissions from me – yes, I submitted the above IBR definition.
Do You Know Everyone?
Total impossibility. Some people just happen to make connections, who have connections, and so on. That’s what LinkedIn, Facebook, MySpace is really for. The connections you know can lead you to other connections. At least that is the main premise of social networking in that later part of this decade. At first glance in the early years of social networks they were only for hooking up with all your friends, but it’s become much bigger.
The reason I’m even talking about this is due to a tweet I received last night. The guy said, “Man you really do know everyone!” I had to deflate my own ego and let him in on the truth. The truth wasn’t a bad thing, just that on twitter you can have more than one identity. So if you know the real identity, you’ll probably know their alias twitter account. Mystery solved! I do not know everyone. Just a few people who in turn have linked to other people. It’s all in the master evil plan of social networking taking over the way we live heading into decade number 2 of the 21st Century.
Party over, oops out of time..
Enjoy your one second of Unix bliss this afternoon. At 6:31:30pm Eastern time – there should be a party, but you have exactly one second to celebrate it. If you are reading from the STL, you might be driving so a honk of the horn is just fine, please keep your eyes on the road!
Lastly, while it seems that twitter mania is about to go into overload, which should be followed by a crash around the corner soon, this I did find interesting. I wonder who in the STL is up to that challenge?
Technically Speaking, whether or not you are in an Iron Butt Rally mode, have a great Valentine’s Day weekend!
