The Devil's Strip - The City Owns It, You Maintain It

I can't really water my tree lawn anymore what with the recently imposed water rationing. However, my berm is on the verge of becoming a nature strip. My parkway is being used as a planting strip while my boulevard is useful as my utility strip. My devil's strip is used more for midnight triple witching hour burnt offerings than as a sidewalk buffer.

My saytweet test twitter canvas

Here's my attempt to use saytweet.com. I'm a little disappointed the tinyurl's in the tweets are not linked. But, a cute idea and it is still in Beta.



Chris (in the swing) is saying the latest tweet from @juliaroy while I am speaking my own last tweet. The pic is dynamic and updated with the latest tweet from whoever you tagged it with. If it would improve to be more readable and clickable it might actually be a nice way to view multiple twitter feeds embedded in a photo.
