Horse_ebooks campaign speech
This was pretty popular! It took me about two nights to assemble if I remember correctly. There is no complete @Horse_ebooks archive (everything before July 2011 appears lost to the ages), but this helped a lot, and I had to scroll down the Twitter page for like an hour or two (I probably sound like George Jetson...) to get a more recent archive. I wouldn't say it was extraordinarily difficult - the fact that I had a theme definitely helped - but I don't think I'd ever be able to do something like that again.

I skimmed through some of my old tweets but didn't see any worth mentioning here

Well that's it. I have to go throw up now. See you in 2013
