After seeing the swarm of pixel people invading Twitter, I found the source and tried out Eightbit. I decided since it already checked into Foursquare I would play a game with it and would write a haiku to go with each check-in. I had a lot of fun with it for a while and have since removed the Eightbit web link since I don’t see any point in continuing to use it. It did offer some amusement trying to compose a haiku for each place I went. Here are a sampling of the ones I wrote.
Large man seeks work pants
Casual man reserved
Winning comes on sale
Watching Annie Shop
Shoes to the horizon line
Will they have The Pair?
Piles of laptops
Messily adorn my desk
Agree to the terms
Sitting on a bench
Waiting for the big blue bus
Will it beat the rain?
A pharmacy run
Another long wait for pills
No babies for us
Tiny droplets dance
Careening beneath my feet
Foot fatality
iPad Not Top News
Earthquake Tsunami Japan
Thoughts and Cash Eastward
Mountains of sweet cake
Enormous menu chock full
Worth the wait to dine
Secret travel line
Speeding silently beneath
Masses overhead
Waited for a bus
Stranded when it deserted
All daily riders
