Jon Silver's Personal Blog – cosm..

Kanye West has made a brand new Twitter account from which he bravely deviced the account as his all new online media conferencing venue being able to say his latest tweets on ever tour he has and even his deepest sentiments over his largest downfall on his careless comments made for Taylor Swift. The rapper let lose more of 70 total tweets says Ben Parr of CNN’s Mashable with some tweets highlighted on his latest employee firing, a tour cancellation, his self-pitied assumptions, his appraisals for Twitter itself, his wholesome reflections, and of course, his surprising apologetic approach to Swift with regards to the unsolicited comments he made that previous Video Music Awards with the former singer receiving her award on stage despite the public TV apology and all other media declarations he made.

This event on Sunday was said to be a big heavy proof how Twitter changes our way to communicate with the world with ease and comfort that we could use, no grammar checks, no facial influences, nothing but letters to broadcast what we have in mind.  Truly it is, the social network services such as this enables anyone to communicate with the world with all the frankness, clarity and freedom of speech in just a matter of seconds gaining instant feedbacks thereof. Aside from Kanye’s approach, other events were also hosted by Twitter, coverage on elections, donation and cause drives, updates on the world and everything else for that matter.

The famous and most controversial web blogger with the pen name as Got Medieval, Carl Pyrdum and the same exact words as his title over his own blogging site features things and their history over the ancient ancient times which includes the authentic origin of paper book sizes. The primary booking materials were so-called vellum according to Pyrdum, he also then made a logical statement that says  “medieval books were the size they were because medieval sheep were the size they were” revealing the mere fact that all books during those times were made from parchments meaning sheep and goat skins solely. The author also showed different sizes of books ranging from the largest  unfolded parchment sized monster, to the eight-page-per-sheep called a quarto/ 4 leaves down to the smallest sixty-fourmo just as tiny as today’s standard mobile phones.

In relation to these medieval facts, Tim Carmody of wired.com features the evolvement process of our e-book readers of today sharing the link among the sheep and the latest gadget sizes. Carmody seem to be pretty impressed of the Got Medieval’s article that he re-featured every detail that article contains hoping these nice to know things of yesterday will be able to impress the techies of the current times.
