Off Twitter for now, going for a walk and lunch at Copacabana: 2 million people expected there for tonight’s festivities! No rain in sight!
@cschick adoro aquele bar (“Garota de Ipanema”), sempre passo por la … dessa vez tb assisti musica ao vivo na Lapa, muito legal …
Note to self: must organize BarCampMiami asap, coming up on the 28th with FOWA Miami, thanks to @ryancarson @melkirk

@markkrupinski thanks, i’ve been mulling it over in my head for the last week on vacation, now it’s time to put pen to paper …
@cschick valeu! gostei dos comentarios nas fotos … o bar “garote de ipanema” era da tua familia? talvez nao entendi bem … comi la ontem!
@gapingvoid I’m glad the time off did you good, I feel much the same way … water/food stops are essential to running a marathon …
@shelisrael hope you’ll have an enjoyable new year’s eve and my best wishes for a prosperous and succesful 2008!

Slowly emerging from a week’s vacation and self-imposed time-off from the innernets; it’s been refreshing but suffered Twitter withdrawal…

Now dealing with lots of Google Groups spam over the last week; at least new members are moderated and it doesn’t filter through
@shelisrael I agree, I also use Twitter way more …
Anyone want a Pownce invite? I’ve got like 28 of them left. DM me your email if you’d like one. In any case, I use Twitter more …
