Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa takes an interest

I have no way of explaining it, but as I write at the Daily News' Click technology blog, L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, quite a tweeter in his own right (at least that's the word on the virtual street) has begun following my very own, extremely nerdy Twitter feed.

I never "tweet" (as the verb describing the act of posting to Twitter is written) about politics, certainly not L.A. city politics ... although I just might now that Antonio is in the audience.

I mostly write about the computer hardware and software (mostly free and open-source) I'm using, how well it works (or doesn't), and what I'm going to do with that hardware and software in the minutes, hours and days ahead. I do throw in a little breaking technology news and generally anything I want to write about and be done with in seconds (rather than the minutes it takes to cook up a "proper" blog entry; yes, I have no attention span, that much should be clear).

We all know that Twitter is the geek/technology equivalent of Marilyn Monroe in the '50s, Brigitte Bardot in the '60s (and most of the '50s, it turns out), Farrah Fawcett in the '70s ... you get the idea. Twitter is now. And now Antonio is Twitter. Or so it seems.

At any rate, welcome to my Twitter feed, Mayor V. Only the best for you and my 82 other Twitter followers ...
