We are on Twitter.

I have signed up for a pair of Twitter accounts for myself and for Inside the Magic.

I haven’t entirely figured out what I’m supposed to do with them, but I suppose that will come over time. For now, I’ll be posting things there that won’t be anywhere else… day-to-day, hour-to-hour, and minute-to-minute type things.

Let me know if there’s anything cool I’m missing about Twitter.

Inside the Magic on Facebook

There’s a new page for Inside the Magic on Facebook! Even if you’re already an ITM group member on Facebook, this new page gives you a chance to mark yourself as a fan of the show.

The difference between this page and the Inside the Magic group is that this page is public and can be found by anyone, not just Facebook members. So declare your love of Inside the Magic by heading over there and clicking “Become a Fan”… and if you know someone who would also like Inside the Magic, use the Share with Friends option.

Dream Job Reunion Photos

I returned early this morning from the Dream Job Contest Reunion at Disneyland. It was a BLAST! I don’t have a written trip report (yet?) but I do have a bunch of photos.

Enjoy!

This week’s Inside the Magic to be released on Tuesday

It’s been a long weekend and it’s not even close to being over yet. I attended most of the NFFC seminars on Thursday and Friday as well as the media party/VIP tour of Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights Friday night. I’ve also been out and about very early in the morning all weekend and plan to be at Epcot for most of the day tomorrow to celebrate its 25th anniversary.

So… Inside the Magic will be delayed until Tuesday at the earliest. I will have so much to talk about that I’m really not even sure what I’ll be including, but it will definitely be fun!

911 World Trade Center Collapse

From google.com:

thumbnailserver2.jpg

The collapse of the 35W bridge in Minneapolis made me think about the World Trade Center collapse and I ran across this video. It really conveys the drama and horror of what was going on in the streets below and captures their reaction to the catastrophe unfolding before their eyes. Well worth a watch to remember…..Dr. Disney

A video blogger uploaded a 30 minute video of the WTC attacks. It was filmed from their home 500 yards from the north tower. The video was fairly recently released. The video starts after the first plane hit, then they turn it off. It starts again with the second plane hit. The south tower collapses, it is obscured, but you see the cloud. then it records the north tower collapsing entirely.

Twitter, Jaiku, and Pownce. Which one?

I now have an account on all three mini blogging services. First off, all 3 are basically extremely easy ways to communicate with your friends. For example, I may post “Anyone out there know how to use XYZ?” or “I am currently working on ABC”. The idea is that these short messages are pushed out to your friends to read. If anyone has used Facebook, they are the same idea as Facebook status, but can be updated from anywhere, and is much better in my opinion. But that still does not answer which one is better.

My Disney Dream Job Trip Report Page

I’ve created a new page devoted to my Disney Dream Job experience:

http://www.distantcreations.com/dreamjob/

There you’ll find a day-by-day picture-filled written trip report along with pages of videos, pictures, and links.  It took entirely too long to put together, so I do hope you enjoy it.  The entire experience was too amazing to forget and I felt it was appropriate to try to document as much as possible online for anyone interested to read.
