If you haven't joined Twitter you obviously don't know what you're missing out on, apparently! According to all reports it's the next best in social media and EVERYBODY's doing it - well...that was until I realised that I wasn't part of the collective EVERYBODY.

So, yesterday afternoon I 'bit the bullet' and jumped on board. Answering the question "What are you doing?" was a harder proposition than I expected. It's like asking one of your children "What did you learn at school today?" And their response, "Nothing".

"Nothing? I pay good money for you to go to school and you learned Nothing?"

Sorry, parental rant concluded. Back to Twitter. Not only are you expected to answer this question but you only have 140 characters to do it with - including spaces. 140? Like I'm supposed to sum up my weekend as ..."Woke. Breakfast. Brushed teeth. Watched footy. Slept. Woke. Gardened. Phoned Mum. Watched Gladiators. Talked to wife. Slept. Love weekends."

It's an excruciating challenge. So, while I didn't update Twitter over weekend I thought I would make up for it with a blow-by-blow account. Get comfortable, you're in for an awesome show.
