Being somewhat of a geek, I'm trying to figure out how much Internet presence I want to maintain. I like keeping a blog, not because what I say is so very important or even informative, but simply as kind of a record of my process and influences, or possibly even therapy, depending on my mood, but whatever. Then there is Flickr, a place to dump images. I tried Twitter, but felt too self-centered broadcasting to no one in particular and frankly I didn't care about following or being followed. Then after ignoring several requests, I broke down and joined Facebook and feel slightly more connected to various communities since I actually know most of the people I'm friends with (at least at this point). But to be honest, I feel like I've been cheating on the blog by spending time on Facebook. Facebook knows the happy, cheerful, sound bite me because whenever I log on, I'm so excited to see Facebook. The blog knows most of my little mood swings, temporary setbacks, and victories. I'm leading a double life. One's abbreviated, the other's a recap.
Anyway, that's where I've been and it's out in the open now. No more pretending I've been working late at the studio, when really I was slutting around over at Facebook.
Except this coming week, I have a ton of stuff to do: 2-3 proposals, for starters, followed by a couple of mini-projects. That's like a full week right there. Plus remember, Tuesday from 2-3PM is my Skype Video Conference Coffee Break Which is Also a Real-life Coffee Break For Anyone Who Wants to Stop By.

You've put the Facebook dichotomy so well. It has also been bugging me lately. What do I post where? I didn't like repeating myself at both venues. But somehow the dust is starting to settle and Blogger and Facebook are beginning to serve distinct purposes. I wish they were a little more linked however.
Oh yeah. . . I forgot about my flickr account. Good ole flickr.
I keep telling myself that I'm going to do some housekeeping at the silly web site I built. I never seem to want to go there myself. hm.
I'll try and remember tuesday. I'll likely be actually at a job however. I'm not complaining. Job is needed. Interestingly, I've been told recently that Ichat is better than skype. I haven't tried it myself.
Hey Steven,
Yeah, the website's like some relic of the past...not really of course, but there's comfort knowing it can still be sporting a mullet and no one seems to care.
Advantage of Skpye is that it's accessible for everyone, even those poor souls on pc. I gathered the big debate was the issue of audio vs. video quality, which seem to be divided. I'll include ichat though, and see if my fellow mac enthusiasts come out to chat.
You've confirmed my suspicions about Facebook. I'm trying to avoid that particular online habit. I just know I'd go compulsive with it.
When I have an unschedule week, I may go ahead and jump down that rabbit hole, though.
