Terry, the New Twit on the Block
Terry has finally been dragged, kicking and screaming into the Twitter age.
It only took him 2 years, reading, researching and finally getting some one-on-one tutoring. If you don’t know why it took Terry so long – his twitter profile may explain it.
Here’s what it says on his twitter profile.
“Funny Canadian motivational speaker – a logical, frugal (cheap) perfectionist. Humor, content & a new way of looking at life. With a Satire Blog.” (I think you’ll get an idea of his funny sense of humor and what I have to put up with as his speaking partner:)
Some of Terry’s sample tweets:
Funny
If 1000 monkeys with typewriters could produce the works of Shakespeare, could 1000 monkeys with cameras produce works of Ansel Adams?
Why logical people don’t get tattoos – fashions change but it’s like wearing your yearbook photo for the rest of your life.
Perfectionist
Just spent 6 hrs on 160 characters redoing my profile. But on the bright side I saved $600 doing it myself. #perfectionist
How many perfectionists does it take to get a newsletter out? One but it only takes him… an eternity.
Going to Earls 4 lunch. Perfectionists always order the same thing so they don’t have to study the menu for 3years or risk disappointment.
Logical
My computer has simplified my life:1st a web site, then newsletter, then blog & now twitter. If it gets any simpler, I may explode.
As a twitter newbie I found the author of Tao of Twitter @markwschaefer has lots of tips. 1 was that tao is pronounced dow:)
Why frugal Vulcans hate to grocery shop. Too many choices & sizes. Took me 2hrs & that was just detergent aisle. (J’s note for non trekkies – Mr. Spock is from the planet Vulcan and so is Terry)
Frugal
Too cheap to buy an ereader so challenged myself to read War & Peace on my iPhone. Off to good start: page287 of 63 million
New Bond Skyfall looks like a must see ow.ly/eySf9 – Mr Cheap may not be able to wait for Netflix on this one.
