i’m just trying to think of slammin’ titles for otherwise yawn worthy blog entries.
in a few minutes, i’m going to work on getting this blog hosted on my website. yeah, i’ve got a website, or at least, space that i’m paying for. i haven’t touched it since february, though.
in the next month or so, i’m going to try to the up the content here, and develop some serious readership as well. i used to have interesting blogs! i can do that shit again!
anyway, few things i wanted to talk about in this entry.
i’ve been doing a lot of thinking about my position in the world (what else is new, right?) and how i figure in the fiber of the communities i consider myself a part, what i can do to trailblaze for them, and on a larger scale, what i can do to positively affect the world around me. i feel like life is squandered too often when our goals are small; if everybody who lived tried to live their lives to contribute something amazing (no matter what it may be), we’d be living in quite a world. it’s outstanding and wonderful as it is, and it’s only a few people, relatively, that are actively trying to affect our realities.
anyway, to do way with the existential rants and get down to business!
i want to spearhead some sort a forum-cum-creative think tank that does something special via art/music. i don’t know exactly what, but i hope to get an idea by navigating a few strong arts communities around the country globe (!) over the next 3 years or so. i’m going to make an immediate commitment to traveling with the intent to absorb as much usable information as possible, bring it back home and channel it into something substantial here. i know it sounds very vague; it’s probably more vague in reality than it reads here in my text– but deep down i know what it is i will be looking for, and i fully expect to find it. i’m not worried, i’m excited!
typically my work day consists mainly of putting on my internet hiking boots and scaling the far reaches of the WWW, looking for inspiration and anything that may fall under that umbrella. i spoke with my sister via gmail today, and i realized that i have so many ideas and goals during the course of a single day, it’s hard for me to concentrate long enough to jot things down and plan out ways to achieve them. she had to remind me that i plan to move to new york!
either i’m too flighty for my own good, or i need a superiorly capable secretary. might be a bit of both.
enough of that, though.
tech news-
son. i think i’ve finally found a smartphone to make me defect away from my first (and once only) love, the Palm Treo.
my only gripes are that it doesn’t have video recording capabilities, i’d have to leave sprint (who i’m fairly comfortable with) and the DUN tethering/pairing has been an issue for some owners. i’ve fallen deeply in love with the power and freedom that DUN brings. when wireless modems with service running upwards of $249, it just makes the solid up/down speed- well above my recollections of dial up- that much more acceptable & attractive. it took me a minute to figure out on my macbook, but eventually we were paired and ready to go. if i can pair the 8300/Curve with the EDGE shit to the Mac, i should be golden.
i may go for it (with t-mobile, fuck at&t) and keep my sprint acct. open for a month or two, just in case i hate it.
uhh. more later.
