Is there anyone out there that can recommend a good tool for WordPress for automatically sending blog posts to Twitter and automating this weekly news roundup? Both gadgets I had installed for those functions broke this week for no apparent reason. I’m compiling this one manually when I’m supposed to be watching football, dammit. [...] Someone in West Palm Beach took some camcorder footage of the filming of a scene from the upcoming Parker film starring Jason Statham. You probably don’t want to sit through all four minutes of this, as it’s mostly helicopters flying around starting at dusk and continuing into night, but once you’ve got the [...]
