Twitter and RSS updates

Further connecting myself to the internet, I got myself a Twitter account. It's like a mini (140 char max) text only blog. Seems minimal. So why use it? It's trivial to post to from mobile devices like a DS, and you can update it via SMS text message from a cell phone as well. So it's meant to be used to keep track of yourself and what you're up to. Also, when you're out and about you can tell Twitter to follow your friends (on Twitter) and it will text message you any time they update.

Anyways, since no one I know actually has a Twitter account, obviously it won't be too useful as it is for anyone I know, so I'm integrating it into my site (Wordpress) and then my other Journal that wordpress auto posts to will also 'benefit' from this. So now I have Twitter fairly integrated. However some of my readers may not want that. I'm aggregated on Planet Larry and I'm not sure how much a Planet dedicated to the technical goings ons of Gentoo users cares about my current goings on and whereabouts. So I've rearranged my wordpress categories and now I have an RSS feed for everything but Twitter.

My RSS sans Twitter
My Twitter: twitter.com/dan_ballard

Next it might be interesting to look for a service that I can tie into Wordpress so I can update my blog with pictures from my cell phone...
