This little idea comes from two random thoughts/bits of information that collided last night randomly. While migrating some stuff from old laptop to new, I was thinking about how I haven’t really been fully bitten by the twitter bug (but I have tried) while simultaneously reading a snippet about how those who keep food diaries eat much healthier than those that don’t.
Being someone who has softened up a bit since college due to a dramatic decrease in physical activity (I played on the men’s soccer team in college and therefore worked out at least 2 hours per day, now I work out maybe an hour per week), and increase in appetite and access to tasty foods, it struck me that twitter might make for a great way to keep a food diary. Easy and quick posting, right at the time of consumption, right to a chronologically sorted storage area online.
I’m sure someone has done this before, but now so am I. You can follow my progress (thrilling I know), and mock my food intake, at http://twitter.com/whatamieating

Do you read Wired Mag?
Last month they did a story about how to get internet famous…They said use twitter…but leave your lunch out of it. There was also a lesson for setting your room up for Vlogging. You should read it. Fun stuff.
