Tumblr’s easy to post quick-hit pics and links on, and it’s more social than this lonely wordpress install. I’ll still update Joe Write on the super-occasional basis, I just wanted to let you know.

The bot-spammers are now winning over on COTweets, so I went and created a new Colorado group-tweet list, ColoradoTweets, that [...]

Mark Cuban is a
