#FollowFriday – @MrsStephenFry: Comedy Gold.

by Doc Coleman - Nifty Tech Editor May 7, 2010 Follow Friday

This week’s recommendation is @MrsStephenFry is the fictional wife of @StephenFry, noted actor, writer, technology enthusiast, and erudite gentleman, and mother of his five (or so) alleged children. Part of the humor of the whole thing is the fact that Mr Fry is quite openly homosexual and has been so for some time.

#FollowFriday – @pfischer: podcaster, father, geek, Balticon supporter.

by Doc Coleman - Nifty Tech Editor April 23, 2010 Follow Friday

This week’s FollowFriday recommendation is @pfischer, Paul Fischer.  Paul is a podcaster, a father, a computer geek, and one of the many people whose efforts are making Balticon 44 possible.  Unless you know Paul, or are a fan of one of the podcasts he has worked on, you’ve probably not heard of him.  Until now.

This week we have a celebrity for FollowFriday: @nathanfillion.  This is the real Nathan Fillion, actor and star of Firefly, Serenity, and Castle.  Now, if you’re a fan of any of these shows, I expect that you’ve probably already looked Nathan up for yourself and are already following him.  If so, you know how entertaining […]

#FollowFriday – @muskrat_john: creator of Dork Tower, deadly punster, comic wit.

by Doc Coleman - Nifty Tech Editor April 9, 2010 Follow Friday

I’ve been thinking about how to improve my Twitter recommendations lately.  Thinking much the same as @TeeMonster has discussed in his post on Follow Friday.  My answer was to do a single, long form recommendation here in my blog, but linked to by my Twitter feeds.  It was somewhat hard for me to figure out […]
