The absurdity of Web-2.0

So today I find myself writing a helper class for updating my online To-Do list via a popular micro-blogging site and calling it, quite accurately, ToodledooTweetBuilder.

Now I don't know about you but I am old enough to remember the original series of Star Trek where they had real computers, ones which fought wars with each other, you know with Blinkenlights? I certainly didn't expect to find myself dealing with user-interfaces looking like Fisher-Price(tm) toys or an episode of the Tellytubbies in my day-job.
