Strange that he would give out his exact location like that, no?

I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent.

If he were a bigger celeb then yes, but I don't think he's too worried about being run down by a mob of screaming fans lol.

Time And Tension - more delicious prog! yum!

They are Ambigrams (which read different words upside down and rightside up), so the lettering must have a little "creative bend" in order to work...

Here they are upside down

i was worried...I read twilight twat... and i was lik wtf! :P

Twitter is kind of like sending out texts to the entire interweb, or at least your followers. The main difference from Facebook is that it's not just your circle of friends, but might be a community of musicians, designers, movie enthusiasts, really whatever you choose to get involved in. So I tend to use it much more for professional purposes, like reading blogs and hearing what people are talking about in my field. It's kind of like RSS in that regard.

It's still very unstructured, so with anyone you follow you're likely to get a mix of personal and professional tweets, since there's no way to really sort it out.


The only thing you really need to know is to write "@name" to message someone, and that "RT" stands for ReTweet, a way of passing along an interesting tweet to your own bunch of followers. A lot of information gets passed around between networks that way, so it's good for self-promotion and such too.

MP: Do you guys know how long it took to find a gravestone with the name Victoria Page, and the dates 1905-1928 on it?! Took us months!

Awesomte title haha :D

I didn't notice those were ambigrams - very cool.

Does anyone else know about the Dio logo being an ambigram? Or was that just me as a stoned teenager?

Still mixing I see from the pictures..

The Dio logo being an ambigram - sort of possible: then it says "dieD" with the last D mirrored.
Scary conclusion - Ronnie Jams Dio 's got cancer at the moment so let's hope we don't have to speak of "Dio died" any time soon...

Cheers, Mc

By the way, I wonder how long Mike will keep twittering. I did it a few months but dropped it because I wondered why others would know what I am doing (it's not that interesting). For artists I can understand it better though - lots of fans like the direct messages. So we''ll see...  Welcome at the twitter board, Mike!

The Dio ambigram actually says something else entirely...

Devil ... never knew :)

Mike seems to like ambigrams nowadays :D
Maybe he got into Dan Brown kinda stuff??

must've been hungry when I chose my profile name

ah so the two tats go around his whole wrist. that's pretty cool! the serenity/acceptance one is my fav out of the two.

It is good that even MP couldn't resist the magic of Twitter!

How's cool isn't this?!

Thank Mike, yet another gift!

Mike can you post the printable version of your new tattoos? My brother likes it and he is planning to get that same tattoo.

Be cautious MP. TMI is not necessarily a good thing.

Agreed.  Twitter creeps me out even more than FB.

Baldrick, what begins with "Come here" and ends with "Ow"?

Why?! I don't understand it when people are "shocked" about these things. YOU don't have to share anything if you don't want. If OTHER people want to share, let them share. It's not like through their sharing, they share about you as well. I really don't see the problem here. If he feels OK with sharing that he's at whatever tattoo shop or if he's going out to dinner with someone or if he just came out of the shower, then it's probably OK. And most people who are on Facebook and Twitter don't seem to mind this "being open/sharing" at all. If 350 million FB accounts aren't proof enough of that, I don't know what is.

Damn, and to think I just deleted my only subscription.....Fantasy Football Guru .....now I know my battery is really fucked!

Damn, bad news just come through.

Hope everything goes well Mike!!

BAM! Hit Em With A Freezepop!

Wishing the best for you Mike.  Pets become part of the family and it's absolutely horrible whenever something happens to them.  Wishing the best for Bongo and Mike and his family.

Get well soon Bongo.

I have a feeling that we will be dealing with the sick dog syndrome in the somewhat near future as well. Our standard schnauzer turns 11 next month and is showing some signs of age. That's going to be tough...

Come on Bongo!
