Mike Olson is rarely on Twitter. He limits the use of his @visiblemike account to retweets and likes of the content his colleagues churn out at the Stiffs, his online persona juxtaposing harshly with that of the blog boys and #NBATwitter staples that comprise the digital world he lives on the edges of.
Mike is our Thoreau, waking most mornings and choosing to walk away from it all, towards the wilderness—the real world, a life outside of the Blog/Twittersphere that consumes so many of us. But he still takes the occasional trip “downtown” for the necessities, like watching every Nuggets game, and his weekly column, a fixture at our site for nearly five years.
