/ February 7, 2010 / Leave a comment

I had to wait until after the Super Bowl to get this post in.  Turns out people like to tweet about Football (and commercials).  Anyway, without further adieu, your Sunday Kraut:

As I go through the week, I use twitter to send out little updates and links.  I realize that I do this quite a bit and that not all of you have Twitter, so with that in mind I’d like to take Sunday to do sort of a week in review.  I’ve selected the most useful of my tweets from the last week and placed them in to the categories that I use in this blog.
