#ramday is a twitter meme started by new twitter friend @thespottedduck. It means Random About Me Day and it is when people tweet (a message to Twitter) a random piece of information about themselves that would not normally come up in conversation.
It has been an interesting way to learn new things about people (and meet new people in general).
Some favorites so far:
- tgwilson: My brother-in-law is married to his stepsister (which she wasn’t when they got married). Figure it out. #ramday
- thegirlriot: @michaelallison #ramday i dated a 23 year old when i was 17.
- michaelallison: I dated a 31-year-old woman when I was 22. #ramday.
- jstorerj: i once drove from Denver to Boston solo, only stopping to fill the car with gas. Just about 2000 miles in 35 hours. #ramday
- RickWolff: When I take eggs from a box, I make sure the remaining eggs balance in the box. Drives my wife nuts; she goes in & messes them up. #ramday
- nwjerseyliz: #ramday I’ve been blonde twice in my life. It didn’t suit me at all but both times I got asked out more than any other time in my life. MEN!
- thespottedduck: in pre-school, i convinced a kid to eat glue. #ramday

People always talk about the power of twitter, it’s ability to effect change (through grassroots fund raising) and mass distribution of info (see California Firefighters) among them. But when I sent out a tweet minutes after my daughter Ella was born I received some quick congratulations from people I have never met face-to-face (but hope to some day).

So Thank You to all who have given congrats and well wishes on what is by far the most exciting time in our lives. And for a quick update, mom and Ella are doing great. We have a pretty good system down so far and have been able to get our sleep in when we can. This is all subject to change from what I have heard

I have a speed dial on my cell phone programmed to (866) JOTT-123 so I can record new task items on the go. If you are not familiar with Jott, it is a service that transcribes your voice message to text and sends it to you in an email. It’s perfect for collecting new to-do list items the moment you think of them.
In addition to the task to email functionality, Jott can be used to send tasks (or notes, reminders, etc) to:
There are several Jott tutorials online, have a look for yourself and see if it can work for you.
