☕ Twitter Break Luxuriously Extended
Hi, Twitter friends and sundry curious rubberneckers.
I’m still on a break from (writing and posting to) the Twitter, although I do enjoy continuing to follow all your wacky hijinks. You guys sure are nutty. Anyhoo.
People asked, so here’s the deal: I don’t expect to be back on Twitter any time soon. Got too many other things I’m working on right now, and, as much as I hate to admit it, I was spending way too much time on Twitter-related everything. Fun stuff, to be sure, but it was distracting me from the real work (such as it is). So, you know. Clean break.
Sorry if this is bad news, and high-five if you’re loving the radio silence. As you know, there are tons of cool and hilarious and non-douchey people to follow on Twitter, so I have every confidence that you’ll find many other things to enjoy in my absence.
But you knew that.
Other Places
So, if you only “know me” from Twitter, “Hi.” Great to see you outside there. You look good. You lost weight? New hair? Nice.
Believe it or not, I do other stuff, too. So, in the event that you have any interest in following any of it, here’s a quick and dirty rundown.
Most Current Projects
- Most Days - New video experiment that’s probably the closest thing to my currently-mothballed Twitter account. Mostly daily video. I turn on the camera and talk. No script. No editing. It is, as they say, what it is. Soon to be a proper, subscribe-able video podcast.
- You Look Nice Today - A Journal of Emotional Hygiene to which I contribute alongside Scott Simpson and Adam Lisagor. It’s probably my favorite thing I’ve ever been involved with.
- YLNT audio podcast (subscribe) - About to start its third “season,” this is our show. You should listen to it. Because Scott and Adam are really funny.
- YLNT videos - New thing I’m very excited about. Our first (formal, proper) video is called “The Noises Rest,” and people seem to like it. (Superfans will also enjoy this outtake)
- YLNT Live - The occasional live performance. Next one is at SF Sketchfest on the 25th. Here’s tickets.
- Kung Fu Grippe - My personal blog of mostly links and videos, as well as the very occasional post like the one you’re reading now. Hi.
- Speaking and Presentations - People pay me to speak at their company or event. And I’m actually really good at it. How weird is that. I know, right?
- Top Secret Writing Project - Like it says. Ssh. Secret.
Ongoing and What-Have-You Projects
Also, my official and soon-to-be-renovated home base is MerlinMann.com.
Wow. If you made it all the way down here, you should win a ham. Regrettably, I have no hams. Would you like some tea or maybe this fancy soap that’s shaped mostly like a clam? Okay, then.
Thanks, neighbors. And happy tooting. Hope I’ll see you around.
