Being Social

A New Project
The above drawing was made during my day job [looks better if you click the image for a larger view]. Each time we start a new project at work my job description is "Go To Meetings". Lots of talk about what the project is about, how are we going to organize and then all the technical blah blah blah. I listen, take notes, think brilliant thoughts, etc.
And I draw. Mostly lines. I’m really good at drawing lines. I used to draw things but I’m not as good at that and I can’t do that and pay attention at the same time. Drawing lines helps me pay attention, because it ensures I’m awake, which is a key feature of paying attention.
Are You Social?
The current work project is interesting. We are looking at social networking. Hence me finally caving in and going to twitter. We are encouraged to have a social networking presence to understand the space. I think they intend for it to be work related. I have, well, zero interest in that. So facebook and twitter and all that - for me it’s mostly art related.
Twitter has been interesting. Kinda fun. It’s a disjointed conversation but more entertaining than I expected. At some point I’ll figure out how to put my tweets in the sidebar (see that Pam - I said tweets). And more importantly I’ll figure out what the true value of the thing might be.
Be My Friend
Here are a few of my social networking profiles. You are welcome to friend me or follow me or whatever the phrase might be.
All Over the Place
I have a myspace account but completely ignore it as I’m not a musician nor am I 12 years old. I have some accounts on some ning communities but they haven’t taken off yet either and I don’t really have time for them so we’ll see how that goes.
I have a squidoo lens on art quilts with ideas for a more and now we have google knols (I have the outline for one on textile paintings with no content yet).
One of the things on my todo list (ie I have a user story for it) is to get a handle on my web presence and bring some kind of structure and understanding as to the value of each piece and the effort needed to maintain or enhance that value.
What’s your online presence like? Which pieces bring you the most value?
