I'd love to blame the fact that I've been too busy with my day job and family for the lack of reviews recently. Unfortunately, they are not entirely the blame. You see, Twitter has killed the blog. Why sit down and spend time blogging when you can say what you need to say (great, that John Mayer song is going to be stuck in my head all day now) in a succinct and instantaneous manner.
The irony is that I'm antisocial, refuse to go anywhere near Facebook yet LOVE Twitter. Go figure...
To make up for the lack of recent reviews I've decided to post my unedited food and wine related tweets thus far for 2011.
In case you only read the blog and don't follow on Twitter or just missed em....

I love it that Glee made it to the post!
"The irony is that I'm antisocial, refuse to go anywhere near Facebook yet LOVE Twitter. Go figure..."
This shouldn't be surprising, Facebook is the social graph and Twitter is the interest graph. In other words you don't have to look at/listen to those who don't care about food.
