As Seen on Twitter...

I follow a lot of geeks on Twitter. I also follow a lot of non-geeks, but most of the most interesting stuff I click on across the InterWebs comes from the nerdy population on Twitter. I am called to serve as a humble conduit through which all that is good and great procrastination fodder passes.

So here's a bunch of stuff I found in the geek Twitterverse today:

• A video shot in Moscow 1990, when the first ever McDonald's opened in Russia, via @slate. In case you were wondering, there were 30,000 people in a line that stretched miles down the block.
• Minimalist art covers for Stephen King books, via the hubs, @rickmarshall. Very cool stuff, but you kinda have to have read the books (or seen the movies) to get it. My fave is the one drawn up for The Shining.
• An Ode to Cookies, by Cookie Monster, via @KevinMarshall. A throwback to the olden days (the 1980s), when Cookie Monster was my idol. Wait, he still is...
• Video of a cat jumping out of a box in slow motion, via @amp1976. Who doesn't like to watch cats do insane things? In slow-mo!!!

That's it for today's edition of What the Geeks Are Tweeting (I'm too lazy to come up with a wittier name for this series, at the moment). Oh, and follow me on Twitter @jmbloustein!
