Maintaining a blog vs Blogging

June 26th, 2010 • News, Stream of Conciousness • No comments

I owned this blog for about 1.5 year or this illusion dates back to May 09.

At first i designed it myself with the thinking that “it should be genuine”, very noble and useful thinking, this allowed me to improve my php and entertained me a lot.

But times have changed as my needs did, I then started install themes and plugins, so that everything in my blog will have a sense of professionalism, and i will be able to focus on my creative flow and most intended sharing via blogging.

At the third stage of my blog-o-rama i found myself doing weekly maintenance to my blog instead sharing nothing about myself or my collectively generated creative out, or at least my reflections about what i come across within my sight / perception.

I have always been someone who pays attention what he is doing (trying to be self aware) and tries to employ the best practices (subjective) in my practices without being competitive*, but i am living the continuous realization of “Hey! I am wasting time on my blog than my blog should spend on me”

Currenty  I am in the having tons of drafts phase in my blogging life.

Conclusion :

In  one of Faster Future Consulting Blog posts,  Clay Shirky touches open this please do carry forward (Life is better when explanations are made by others).

* I really don’t care being competitive with people you point finger at, one should be set their own ranks  and limits to achieve as pleased.

How not to blog? | Self-reflective spots

May 19th, 2010 • Stream of Conciousness • No comments

Hi,

The following is how i not blog. Please be aware and reminding.

1 – Work on multiple drafts.

2 -  Waste ridiculous amount of time enhancing your posts, insert unnecessary mp3s, try to draw illustrations, try to contact that deviantart user for that one and only image your post can not do without. Have more themes then your blog posts.

3 – Procastinate the hell out of it. When there is something to be done requiring your manual input(typing) it is always easier to go for the free entertainment (watching, reading). Be deprived of main joy of blogging.

4 – Blog on your own. Do not ever share your links, posts with your friends and family, they are your initial chances of motivation.

5 – Ignore the most important function. Work on installing widgets, gadgets work millions of hours on the way it look.

6 – Don’t focus. Enable every other activities to interrupt your writing process.

7 – Have a supreme sense of perfection / be insecure about “anything with regards your entries”

This entry is an initiative, is a cry for self-provocation.

Looking forward to see myself got rid of my drafts.

Best,

–

Retro Typography at a queue ticket

This was my ticket for my today’s travel to the border office, i am really impressed with the type they used for the numbers!

So… What is the catch?

Hello,

Please have a look around to my category titles, some of my posts to have some humble sense about what I have been keeping myself busy with before I paused my note taking activities.

Whenever i have those pauses I always start-up again with an introductory post such as like this, [please but please] don’t let the frequency of such posts to make you think that I undervalue my blogging activities. I think I am just in the process of allocating my time and thoughts accordingly to maintain a content-rich life observatory.

So back to title… in the meanwhile I have been luckyly / heavily busy with getting acquinted with very clever individuals whom are driven wild with the venomous taste of innovation in the ever competitive field of social media technologies. Being at where I am and doing what i am doing allows me to create, be online and observe straight from the heart of an agency filled with people who are keen and determined work and share restlessly for the sake of having fun and making most of the experience and the opportunity-caught via innovation. I will be posting in more detail about 90:10‘s vision and approach towards compemperary communication technologies.

So be generous wish  me luck in this ever challanging (and therefore satisfying) position.

the sound which the user starts should be continuos, meaning it mustn’t be interrupted  when a they change a button.

The sounds the that represents city in the other paths  for the city to should be: people talking and then if the take a second step in to the grey the user should hear city scape.

(Type-thinking) so what happens when users go to green from blue?They should start with birds and bees, then get to more serious animals.

what about to blue from green a river that trespass, then (maybe) something that can generate bigger waves.

_ stick to the black stripes

_contextualize the subjects (subjects might be shot in a studio.)

_an online gallery which plays with the idea of privacy

I am on a subject hunt at the moment and also brainstorming about the possible approaches to the finished portfolio website.

and this project is to be titled, “I am so private !”
