Oh, by the way, I’m Tumbling

Posted on 7 July, 2008 at 8:23pm with 2 comments

I have been holding off posting this for a while for a few reasons, but considering how lack-luster the frequency of posts have been on this blog, I thought it may be a good thing to write about. While my blogging has gone down, I have found I have been publishing in short format much more frequently. My Twitter account is updated pretty frequently thanks to some good tools. I found that the short I-only-want-to-spend-10-to-15-seconds-to-post-something format is something I can handle even when I am busy as hell. Why? Because it is completely valid to write “Busy as hell” as a Twitter post.

This very reason is why I got interested in Tumblr. I feel as though Tumblr can be just like Twitter except with the additional media aspects. Luckily, Tumblr has a couple nice tools for posting as well. I find that Tumblr is the best balance of ease/speed and features that I have found up to this point. As free time diminishes, I see Tumblr (or a Tumblr-esque format) becoming a bigger part of my daily postings as time goes by.

Up to this point, my Tumblr is pretty low-brow and is all over the place in terms of content. Additionally, the site is still rockin’ the default style (which I hope to change soon). However, if you can forgive the above shortcomings, I think you may find it entertaining.

A Big Thank You To All The Webcam Participants

Posted on 20 August, 2007 at 9:39am with no comments

Since I have been so bad about updating this blog in the past couple weeks, I have not been able to post the results of the webcam experiment. Additionally, I have not even properly thanked anyone who participated in this project – you have my sincere apologies. The good news is that, while the relative number of participants was low, the results for what was created turned out very well. If you did not participate, but are now curious of doing so, I will be posting a public call for participation after I present the results.

The results should be up this week. I may pare down the presentation if I need to in order to get it out this week. I am more interested in getting the idea and results out there for people to see. Icing on the cake, is well, icing on the cake. All of this would not have been possible without the kind folks who lent their time and effort to create content. I am considering some ways to thank you all with a small little gift – especially since I have been so late in putting this all together.

As some of you know, I have gone off on my own as a design technologist contractor/consultant and the whole transition process has taken a lot of time and effort. Free time will be less frequent, but with bigger single chunks, rather than a steady stream – I am trying to figure out how to make that work. As a result, I am terribly behind in my emails and have neglected many blog-related responsibilities. This transition is just going to take some trial and error – ironically, this is very similar to how this blog works. Like all things, I will muddle through this, break a few things along the way, and then eventually end up in a relatively good place. Patience, I have learned, is a virtue many people need at times when dealing with me.
