I am sure that everyone saw this coming.  With social media being as prevalent as it is, there will definitely be some fakers round here.</p>
<p>Just a couple of weeks ago, I was watching Jimmy Kimmel interview Lily Allen; you know that British singer chick who is the rave these days?  Anyhow, she was narrating how she is using Twitter to promote concerts and shows.  She would tweet about hiding tickets in some public place and her fans would go and rush to get them.<span id="more-12531"></span></p>
<p>While that was definitely a real celebrity tweeting, there has been one too many cases of fakers.  I read a funny feature on MSN on these fake celebrity Twitter accounts called Phweeters.  Guess who is on the list?</p>
<p>Well we have the well publicized account of the Dalai Lama.  This one created a lot of noise, we know how many people look up to His Holiness.  Well, it was a phweeter, sorry to say.</p>
<p>Kanye West was also &#8220;victimized,&#8221; when a Twitter account using his name dissed Stephen Colbert last year.  That was funny, and everyone thought it was really Kanye.  They say it was a phweeter as well.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a Family Guy fan, and when I saw @Stewie, I just had to laugh.  We all know that there is no such person, but seeing this phweeter and reading his tweets can make your day!</p>
<p>I would have to say, though, that the best phweeter in this world is @ChuckNorris_.  Seriously, why would anyone want to try and imitate Chuck?  I am thinking he&#8217;d be roundhouse kicked to death here soon!</p>

I have been planning on this for months and now that I am actually here, it seems a bit surreal. But you know what? I am having the time of my life. I just realized something though? I seem to be doing things a bit differently from the rest of the people here are doing. Here are some of my observations.<span id="more-11511"></span></p>
<p><strong>One, the first thing that I did when I was done checking in was to see the farthest that the WiFi signal would reach.</strong> Obviously, I figured it out pretty quickly as I am online now and posting, right?</p>
<p><strong>Two, my Tweeter has been busy since I left early this morning for the airport. </strong> Sometimes I used my phone, sometimes I used my netbook. But from the airport to the ferry boat, I have been Tweeting the hours away.</p>
<p><strong>Three, I actually found myself a nifty gadget, a USB modem that allows me to connect to the Internet wherever I may be, as long as there is a mobile phone signal. </strong> I got it because I know how WiFi availability is so unreliable outside the city and the prospect of having no Internet for a full work week was just too unpleasant.</p>
<p><strong>Four, my camera has been used a lot </strong>- and it&#8217;s the just the first day! Now you may say that this is not unusual, right? I have to say, though, the main thought in my mind as I take pictures is how nice they would look in my blog&#8230;.</p>
<p>Enough said. And I guess that&#8217;s what geeks do while on vacation. What do you do?</p>
