Introducing The Mantis-Eye Eye
You heard me, pal! Thanks to a fit of boredom last night as well as wondering if there was any way I could update the site with my cell phone. The short and obvious answer is 'yes' but since I don't feel like writing one myself the next closest solution was Twitter which is a silly little site that's essentially built to allow you to make random updates about your mundane life throughout the day via IM or cell phone (or the site itself).
At any rate, as you can see from the mysterious update above (which I made with my GTalk account) it will allow me to make random updates on the go. This isn't a huge necessity, but if I ever need to update the site immediately and can't get to a computer I can punch in a quick headline and it will show. The main reason for this is I may be stopping by Comic-Con tomorrow (maybe) and make random updates about it. The box will display the 20 most recent updates for the last 24 hours and if there aren't any it will disappear. It will also auto-update itself every 2 minutes.
Not entirely useful, but something new I guess. Also if you have any suggestions for other ways to use this thing, be sure to mention them in the comments.

I don't know what tweets are or any of that other stuff, Twitter was just the easiest way for me to have some sort of live updating for this site. All the updates will show up here when I make them, but if you want to follow the actual feed it's right here: http://twitter.com/mantiseye
It's only related to the site though; I don't actually have a personal twitter for anything.

Plenty of "non personal" twitter IDs exist, so that's perfectly normal. People using Twitter who follow you will be alerted whenever you make updates under your mantiseye ID, so that's cool. Bands, sports teams, websites, radio stations...lots of "corporate entities" use Twitter.
