Ricky Anderson: Matchmaker, Matchmaker, Part II

I feel like an Internet dating service today, but I promise you - it's all platonic. Probably. I might want to look that up first.

Here we go.

Rob Shepherd (@robshep, robshep.com) asked for "funny people that make me think about tech, sports, and Christianity." I don't know much about sports, but for the rest? To you, Rob, I give Rick Knowles. You're welcome.

TJ (@tjcapalla, teejay82.tumblr.com, peanutbuttercupmoment.tumblr.com) asked for "inspirational stuff". Have some Tony Alicea, TJ. Enjoy.

Russ Ray was half asleep / delusional. So for you, Russ? Tyler Tarver.

Renée A. Schuls-Jacobson wants pop culture. Feeling a little stuck on this one. How about some TV Asylum, Renée? You'll get a range of topics by a range of different folks. And maybe some unicorns.

Chad Jones wants "fiction, non-fiction, Christianity, humor, blogging, and butterscotch flavored terra cotta siding". Chad, you already know almost every blogger I know, so I'm going to focus on your fiction request. Which is different than your fictitious request. Have you tried the Infinity Manuscript?

Larry Hehn (@larryhehn and larryhehn.com) wants a combination of "humor and insight for Christian living". You already know Rob Shepherd, right? Well...go meet him again. Sorry this recommendation's not new, but Rob is the best for what you asked for.

Daniel Carman says "I will not tweet. Not in a box, not with a fox." No, Dan(iel), you may not. But you do blog, and you'd even blog with a dog in the bog, right? Thus, check out my friend Some Guy.

Ken Hagerman (@ramblingbarba, ramblingbarba.com/) used a lot of words and I got overwhelmed. But one of those words was humor, so Ken - go follow @sgtwolverine. He's the funniest guy I follow on Twitter.

Burrill (@sgtwolverine) wants funny. Jamie Golden is funny. Jared Clifton is, too. But you? EVERYBODY should follow you!

Stephen Haggerty (@StephenHaggerty) wants creativity. Stephen, meet my best friend Chris. He's the most creative guy I know. His Twitter feed has a heavy tech focus, but ask him anything and I guarantee a creative answer, regardless of topic.

Some Guy asked for more Network Administrator Diaries. On it's way, SG, on it's way.

Ok, your turn. Who do you like to follow on Twitter? Whose blog do you enjoy?

I just +1'd this article on Google+... hope that doesn't mean I'm cheating on twitter with Google through a blog. I like to be faithful to random online services, probably because if a server cries it can really mess things up. Aww man, now if I went back and -1'd it I'd probably make Google sad...

As guilty as I feel, I know I'll be ok because I now follow a bearded blogger who is probably at this moment holding an electric acoustic guitar while wearing leather sandals and saying an opening prayer just waiting to lead someone in worship.

Lead on singing beard! Lead on!
(I'd like to thank the artists that are the baristas at our cafe for the excellent espress that brought you today's comments. Ian, take a bow.)

When you're like this I want to follow you around with a video camera.

In a totally non-creepy, probably platonic way.

Yup, as long as you followed me around with a camera just the way Plato did to Socrates I'm sure it wouldn't be creepy.

Although that Michaelangelo guy over there staring at them probably gave Socrates the jibblies. Just because you are painting a portrait doesn't mean you get to be all creepy about it.

Haha... the sad thing is, you pretty much called it, Chris! You know me too well... already.
Thanks for the introduction, Ricky. Pleased to meet you, Chris.

I don't follow too many blogs as I have a day job already. I do follow some sketchy dude who apparently owns a couple of sheds, but I forget his URL. Then there is my main preacherman (Rob) at http://www.robshep.com, my emergency backup preacherman (Bill) at http://billgrandi.ovcf.org, a guy whose main achievement in life is growing facial hair (Stephen) at http://thebeardedidealist.com, and a great guy and prolific poet (Brian) at http://www.waystationone.com. Oh, and thanks for including me in today's blog even though I didn't tweet.

Make sure to check out Some Guy's blog. He's a great guy. He's an engineer, so you two can talk about science-y things that I'll never understand. Like ratios and whatnot.

That actually is my main achievement, and I'm okay with that. My second main achievement is that you just gave me a top 4 spot- and that is awesome. Thanks, D-Train.
