ImageWell… I’ll try it out
Low on my list, but high on my family’s, is getting more pictures of the boy on his website. I’ve been letting it go for at least 6 months now. In part, this is due to iPhoto disrupting my old process, and me not pushing through to find a new way. I forget where I…

Publish and forget
Via Jon Udell’s comment on overlapping scopes, I found and read Chris Anderson’s essay titled “What is a blog?”. I’m glad I did. This topic could be dismissed as more navel-gazing here (blogging about blogs, etc.). But I think this public distillation of the benefits and uses of this form of communication will help clarify…

Blurring the lines
I’ve been up for over two hours already, and at least one hour of that was spent on a work project. Then I had breakfast with my son. Now I’m headed off to the office. The point? Where do I draw the line between work and home? It’s a wavy, thin line, to be sure.…

Elaborate joke, or real? Either…
I received an email this morning inviting me to submit a video about my blog for possible inclusion in a television pilot about blogging. Quote: “We want to bring this phenomenon of personal expression to television for the very first time, and have been scouring the web for appropriate sites. Your web site seems like…

Evangelist is the right job…
Scoble comments on how hard it is to get people to accept something new. He’s certainly on target, speaking from experience: his job title, often enough, has been evangelist (and he clearly thinks of himself as one, regardless of title). He mentions the Mac, digital cameras, and Tivo — I certainly am waiting on that…

Phrase I’m sick of =…
It’s either a business or it’s not. F*** the model. Either you provide a service or product that you get paid for (in one form or another) or you don’t. Enough ranting… I do care about this area. I want to learn lessons from other businesses that I can apply to the business where I…

This is a recording
Anil Dash’s vision of the personal panopticon strikes a chord with me. I care little for his fascination with capturing the audio of our lives, although I do think I need to get a few snippets of Benjamin’s funny comments now and again. But I find myself believing that events are not real, or easily…

Too many parentheses
My writing is too full of on the one hand, on the other hand type comments. I re-read this post from last night and was overwhelmed by parenthetical statements. To cleanse the slate, I should really rewrite it. But, I won’t. That post should really have been a short essay, where I resolved the contradictions…

Amen
“So a good fast Internet connection is not, after all, a cure-all for life’s problems. But it’s awfully nice to have.” from Tim Bray’s ongoing, at the conclusion of an essay about a weekend lost to regaining connectivity

Sunday night syndrome
That feeling that you didn’t get enough done this weekend, and tomorrow you jump back into the fray, and all those little tasks you had in mind will wait until next weekend. Not so bad tonight, but I can rattle off several projects I’d like to bring to completion. But if you let this ‘syndrome’…
