buy eco-friendly products (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled 9 months ago

I’m not giving up being ecofriendly – just that the word ‘sustainability’ is more accurate, since being sustainable is better than just simply changing what I buy.

Sustainability also reflects more than just the environmental concerns I have – that there are other political movements I want to support (i.e. feminism, human rights, etc. etc.)



Update my weblog at least once a week
Not so much 'giving up' but 'putting on the backburner' and 'trying a different medium' 19 months ago

I’ve been online a long while, and I have various blogs – both official and unofficial. If I really wanted to commit to blogging publicly for my professional career, I’d have done it by now – and I find that I prefer to read blogs rather than write them.

That said, I have kind of committed to having a photoblog over on my Flickr account, and I’m enjoying documenting my thoughts and experiences visually. Since I’ve always been more of a words person, trying the pictures as communicate has been fun, and I think I’ll put more effort into that.

More things to amalgamate 22 months ago

Ok, have to consider online repositories of info: Backpack, Central Desktop, any others (damn all those startups!) – how am I going to use them to keep track of stuff?

Also offline repositories – namely my poor little iBook. It’s organized, but it’s got a crapload of information that needs to be migrated online so that if something goes wrong I don’t have a meltdown.
