Some Random Dude – Now With 50% Less Nerd!

Posted on 16 March, 2007 at 12:55pm with 4 comments

This blog has been going through quite a metamorphosis in the past few months as I continue to look for that “right place”. I am personally becoming much less interested in the nuances of front-end programming and much more fascinated with the 50,000 foot view of design on the web, the inner-workings of web communities and the future of media in the internet-age. I will begin to focus much more thought and writing towards these sorts of subjects and spend much less time on subjects such as web development and even Flash to a certain extent.

I have been putting a lot of time and thought into web community, media and how people interact with them and I feel I have a lot to share. In addition, my hope is to begin moving out of the trenches of design/development and start becoming more involved in these subjects in my career as well. This shift is fairly easy to do in a blog, but not so easy to do in my career. My hope is that this thinking and writing I do on the subject will act as a catalyst for my own personal growth.

This blog has been an unbelievable channel of learning for myself since day one. I cannot wait to see what people teach me in the upcoming months. I am really looking forward to a change of topical venue – I hope you are as well.
