I’ve no idea what this is but it’s been haunting me (in a good way) since yesterday. First impression was mediocre but let is steep a while…

The hack2school cheat sheet

The blog of Jan Chipchase.

A link to Jerry Seinfeld’s Productivity Secret came from core77 somewhere. Much as I’d intended to follow that daily work advice – I’ve so
far failed to start. Originally I thought that a daily post would be the media for my design output. Now I look to getting the old skectch book out. I’ll be making one in when done here.

It’s Saturday night and its been a long two or three weeks since my last poest (sic).

What gives?

Well, like the problem with good programmers, they say that all the good bloggers have gobs. I mean jobs. Me I’m not a good blogger and am not totally convinced of the raison d’être of this particular site. Main problem being it’s low priority in the order of things. Hence the title (and/or sub head). See I’ve not much time – what with work, family and friends. Even internet time is pulled on from the likes of Facebook and Flickr. Which brings me to a main question…

What’s the point of social networking sites when they become overrun by social gossip, spam quality jokes and verbal diarrhea? Much as I love flickr and Facebook – my problem is that these site are not “me”. Just an image, a caricature, determined by the foibles of other users and some “zeitgeist” shite that seems totally beyond control.

Funny that these first doors to being part of the community are also the end of individuality.

Funny that my first phrase here was “the key to being noticed”.

Well I guess I’ll revel in the anonymity. Plenty of that round here.
