Whoops, Twittered
Whoopsie. My last post, which I posted from my iPhone, was also shared via Twitter. I want to have the option of sending a post to Twitter but I don’t want it to do it by default. Not sure how to do that.

Interesting responses on Facebook to French Toast poll. One of them being JELLY! http://bit.ly/SzgoY Any other odd toppings?
Poll: French toast with or without powered sugar? What about cinnamon? Personally I enjoy plain french toast. No sugar/cinnamon for me.

Are there any celebrities on Tumblr?
Obviously photos of celebs, even without attribution, copyright, and heck just plain old permission are strewn throughout Tumblr in wild abandon…. but I was wondering if there were any actual celebrities that use Tumblr?
