My Blog Every Day Challenge was a success, I think. With the obvious exception of weekends, when I was often doing the things that I’d blog about the coming week, I put out a post (almost) every day. After taking a week off, I’ve distilled my learning below.

The lies inherent in my nature films, Part 1
Posted on July 21, 2010 | View CommentsI like to make nature films. Anyone who subscribes to my Youtube channel understands this. I like to think of myself as a modern-day Steve the Crocodile Hantah mixed with a bit of old PBS nature shows. Then when you combine these two bits, you throw in a dash of WHAT-THE-HELL and blend thoroughly. My fans have accused me of misrepresenting the natural world. I accuse them of nothing. Watch these three videos and tell me what you think. Do I lie? I’ll be posting a companion video series tomorrow.

- I fully expect this to happen.
My Droid X is in the mail. It’s a phone that happens to do internet things in a groovy way. It can also spawn multiple copies of itself that morph into common household appliances. I made up that last part. Having a smartphone (in the Droid’s case, a superphone) will change the way that I use the internet. Here’s how I think this will happen.

Digital Social Contract, Part 1

- The Internet King
A lot of writers talk the web’s effect on how we communicate and collaborate and all kinds of other things. I’m more concerned with how the web is changing society and what it means for our future togetherness and apartness. Let’s drag up the old term “social contract” and stick the word “digital” in front of it.

- So…how many followers do you have?
Mark Mann over at Denvelopers asked me to construct an interesting list. At the time, I was deep inside a job search. Inspired by that process and the ways in which I’ve seen Twitter rise to prominence, this is what I came up with.

The Bay Area Dispatch of Doom Vol. 16 (New job edition)
Posted on July 12, 2010 | View CommentsNOTE: This is a modified “for public consumption” version of my world-famous (yeah right) email newsletter. A slightly less-edited version is available – just write me!
Hello friends,
Mung beans are about $1.19 in the bulk food aisle at Whole Foods. You can take these beans and sprout them in a Mason jar. A pound of beans will make BOATLOADS of fresh, tasty, nutritious sprouts. Good eatin’! And yes, I realize that the acronym for the Dispatch is now B.A.D.D. – it’s cuz I’m such a tough guy. :)
