Summer is ending
It’s been a quick July. I’ve made some changes.
I’m using Twitter all the time now, and I’m enjoying it. It’s tough to explain, but contrary to it’s apparent lack of purpose, it’s quite valuable. The question most people struggle with is “why would I want to post about myself.” If you’re asking that, you need to stop thinking about yourself. It’s less about you, and more about everyone, all at once. It’s a customized conversation that you can hand curate to be just what you want. People around you are talking, and they want to engage with you. It’s as simple as that.
I’ve added all my shared stories from Google Reader above. If you’re not using Google Reader yet, and you don’t read RSS feeds, you should! Here’s a write up I did last year on how to get started.
Also, there’s no more big flash header on the site. Yep, killed it. Something else will be up there, but for now, straight HTML purity.
Finally, I’ve recently launched a little experiment called quickplayasong.com. I made it for a number of reasons. First, I wanted to design something for the iPhone. Second, I wanted to learn jQuery. Third, I wanted to build a useful single serving site. And finally (and most importantly), I wanted to make something that could help musicians. I learned much of what I know about guitar on the internet, and I owe it something in return. Hopefully, this helps in one form or another. Check it out!
