The origin of the phrase “up sticks”:
”Instead they used Gypsy tents of the traditional style, a tarpaulin thrown over a platform of bent wooden rods. If moved on by the keepers, they could simply ‘up sticks’ in a matter of minutes, and disappear into the trees and on to their next encampment.”

I declared RSS bankruptcy last night, marked the 5,000+ articles which were unread in NetNewsWire as read, and revelled in the manageable flow of new posts.

Some of this is down to platform design: micro.blog and Tumblr encourage short posts in a way that, say, Wordpress doesn’t.
