A post at Daring Fireball directed me to an interesting forum called Seeed, specifically for those developing web applications. Thought I can’t claim to have built any web applications (yet) I do enjoy the discussion there. Already I’ve found a couple of interesting sites, both for me to use and for me to link to.

I spent a great night in Indianapolis last Friday night in order to attend Rob Bell’s close-to-final-stop on his speaking tour, The Gods Aren’t Angry.

Maybe I’m being a bit too picky, but styling images with inline code doesn’t (always) seem like the best option. To me, it isn’t even a question of utility, such as whether inline or imported styles are the most effective and easiest to use. No, it seems to be more of an issue of what is correct and proper. I question myself on this constantly, as any good semanticist should.

Let’s say I just went through the purchasing process, and wasn’t too happy with the end result. The retailer in question is a very popular one, but pointing out who won’t strengthen my point any. At the end of the process, after completely checking out and giving them my money, I was bombarded by affiliate ads and promises for “$100 for free” if I participated in a survey. Yuck.

I had an interesting Sunday last week. I was in the process of finalizing my home church’s new website to launch, and one of the last things to do was to add a page promoting our new series entitled Why?. But when it came to uploading a small image to accompany the page, it wasn’t happening.

Been meaning to post about a pretty intense contest running over at designer David Airey’s blog right now. It’s a pretty sweet deal: somewhere around $4,000 worth of prizes. If it means anything, I usually don’t post about blogging contests. This one, though, is probably the biggest I’ve ever seen.

This week I turned twenty, and at times like this (birthdays, big milestones) I feel I should stop and look back over something, and maybe reflect a bit. Let’s see how this goes.

I’ll be away for the next two days at An Event Apart in Chicago. If anyone who reads this is also going, it would be great to meet up and chat. Just comment and we can get in touch.
I’m looking forward to the event. Things like this always get me inspired. I’m sure I will have lots to say when I return.

I know I’ve talked about blogging before, but this one takes the cake. Last week I was published at CopyBlogger for a piece I wrote about keeping track of ideas and streams of thought. Very exciting.

I tend to start writing using bullet points and phrases. Usually, there’s only one or two statements I really want to get across anytime I write a post or entry. That’s where I start. Where it comes into the page, that all depends on what it takes to develop to the point of writing.Sometimes I start by grabbing a Writeboard and scribbling notes into it in list format. Other times I grab a scrap piece of paper (always scrap, never waste whole papers) and put my idea down on paper. It’s interesting, actually, that sometimes it takes paper to turn on certain parts of my creativity that typing doesn’t seem to bring out. Anyone have some psychology on that one?
And, for the record, this is one of the first posts that I’ve written in some time that didn’t start with bullet points and a phrase. I just sort of wrote it. Maybe you can tell. Hopefully I’m not that bad.

It’s time for that linking thing again.
