So I’m sitting in the Metro Courthouse tonight watching Meg get her job back when I get this Tweet:

This is fabulous for two reasons: A) Meg got her job back, and B) I’ve been trying to meet @thinktrain for quite a while now and kept missing him at events like the Nashville Twestival — then there he was sitting two feet from me and I had no clue!

Great meeting you, dude!

Oh, and his name is Rob, by the way. He’s a Nashville flack who does great work.  Follow him on Twitter: @thinktrain.

Do you have an interesting Twitter story to tell? Share in the comments!

Time released its 2009 Best Blogs list today. If reading and commenting on blogs is new to you, I highly recommend you check it out. However, if geek has always been your primary accessory, skip it.

I’m a Top INSERT NUMBER AND TOPIC HERE List freak.  I would marry a top 10 list if I wasn’t already married to a GroovySoup.  I squealed with delight when I first saw Time’s list in hopes of finding some newly discovered web wonder, but  it turns out their Top 25 is just another slide show of the good, but usual suspects like Zen Habits, Lifehacker, Mashable, TechCrunch and Seth Godin.

Really, Time? I mean I dig all of those blogs and was delighted to see Dooce make that list because, as we’ve discussed, she rocks my face off but come on.  Are you serious that these 25 blogs that have ALWAYS been the best are STILL the best? That’s it?

(sigh)

Next year, please give the world a best-of list that sheds some light on folks other than the people who practically created the Internet.

The only new-to-me blog I’m excited about digging into is DetentionSlip.org, which promises to “mock the school system because we love the idea of quality, free, public education… in an effort to help promote a solution.”  The rest are great, but you already knew that.

On a positive note,  I’m THRILLED to see Gawker and Perez Hilton sitting atop Time’s Most Overrated Blogs list.  I know many of you are most are fans. I’m just over those two, sorry.

For those of you pining away after Picalicious (Jan 1 – Dec 31, 2008) head on over to Newmanchu! Dave’s photo-a-day site where you can find fabulous shots like this:

Disclaimer! He’s not taking these photos every day like we did on Picalicious, he’s just POSTING everyday. And to be honest, he didn’t take this one … but it was with his camera!

He did take this bean photo though:

I’ve pitched a fit in the airport before, but I’ve never attempted carpet angels – just say’n.

No worries, FlackRabbiters. You’ve no doubt  scoured the globe for the likes of HorseOpoly, JamesBondOpoly, BugOpoly and of course, MayberryOpoly — but take heart!  You need look no further than the Rivergate Mall Books a Million, yo. It’s all there, right next to the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue rack (duh):
