The Machine Is Us/ing Us

Though it’s 3 years old already, this is an excellent and (dare I say it) emotional take on Web 2.0. Hell, may as well just call it 3.0 now.  Though some of the subject matter may be out of date (XML, really? CSS with HTML works pretty well, too), it illustrates the ever-changing shape of the internet and what it means to the future of community, culture, society and even humanity. It was made by Michael Wesch, Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Kansas State University. Enjoy.

Obligatory Resolutions and Luke Skywalker on Facebook

Priceless.

So one of my resolutions for 2010 is to try and update my site here at least once per week. I pretty much did it last year, but it was scattered with multiple posts one week and no posts for multiple months. I am going to do what I can to stick with this, not for my readers (because there are none), but just to show myself that I give a crap enough.

Some Resolutions for 2010:

  1. Be a fantastic husband to my new wife
  2. Redesign HouseofCopy.com and gain at least 5 new clients
  3. Publish a short story
  4. Get at least one rejection letter for my novel
  5. Publish a non-fiction article
  6. Get 500 Visits per month on WineWelfare.com
  7. Review at least 2 wines per week on WineWelfare.com
  8. Lose 15 pounds
  9. Go to visit the wife’s family in Italy
  10. Learn (some) Italian

If I can think of any more I’m going to update this because it’s making me really think ahead and plan goals.

What are your resolutions for 2010? Or, if you don’t like that word, what are your goals for 2010? Let me know in the comments!

A List Apart Survey 2009 – For People Who Make Websites

I don’t exactly build websites from scratch, but I do my fair share of Wordpress stuff, so I didn’t let the “For People Who Make Websites” remark stop me. Check out the 2009 survey.

(Thanks to Liesl Barrell for bringing it to my attention)
