Two Great Things I Just Found

Okay, I'm about to drive back to Indianapolis, but before I go, check these out:

Making the Habit

In my quest to gain some support for my new writing habit, I convinced my brother to get a blog. Check it out on the sidebar; it's called "Fantastic Rants," and it is a fantastic idea. Nick is going to collect all sorts of rants in all forms from all over the internet. He's planning to write some of his own, and he's also looking for contributors. I know I'll be sending in a rant or two about the OVERUSE OF PAPYRUS FONT by companies, restaurants, and even graphic designers who should know better!

We'll have a grand old time venting our frustrations. I've also convinced my girlfriend Sylvia to set up a blog about her love of fashion and cats as well as her progress as she learns how to make clothes.

First Post - Merry Christmas!

I created this blog a while back for a video art class with professor Leslie Sharpe. I posted a few things in that semester (Fall 2007) as part of the class's requirements, but those posts were erratic and utterly useless, so I deleted them.

Well, now I'm back and I hope to do something not-so-useless with this.

In February, I will be traveling to Berlin, Germany, where I will be studying at Humboldt University through the IES Abroad Program. I want to get started with this blog by documenting my experience.

Ultimately, though, I want this blog to be more than just a travel journal. I have spent a lot of time over at Steve Pavlina's Blogsite. I highly recommend his writing. Whenever I need some motivation, I cruise over there and read an article or two. His attitude never ceases to inspire me.

Anyway, he encourages everyone who has any interests in life to try blogging not only as a means for personal improvement, but also a means of income-generation and a number of other wonderful things. Personally, I don't see how I can hope to become a successful, engaged member of the online community without it, so I'm prepared to give it my best shot.

Well, I'm going to go explore - Ho! Ho! Ho!
