Super quick today, just activated the twitter plug-in so things will be a little bit more social :). The twitter auth is read only so I wont be doing any funny things to your account when you are not looking

I also added some new modules, down the bottom of every page is some links to other blogs I read. On the right is a box of "latest posts" for quick links to the new stuff.
