Things have been really busy at work the last few months, and social media has somewhat expanded to consume that part of my life that usually was spent blogging random and somewhat arcane thoughts.

That being said, it’s time for a change, partially motivated by the impending ‘migration’ of my Adobe blog to a new Movable Type framework. I’m not particularly happy with Movable Type in general, and much more comfortable with WordPress or Drupal, so although I already did merge in some of my old Adobe blog posts here a while back (just look for the ‘Adobe’ tag), I may be doing it officially soon, and dusting off this default template with one I’ve been puttering on for a little while now.

While I figure out how this will all shake out, I might very likely be temporarily distracted with this.
Pls don’t hold it against me. ;-)

I’ve been using this randomly on conference calls lately, too. Enjoy :)

I generally avoid spending too much time on social media sites cause they’re a huge time-suck, but Facebook has become a bit too addicting lately. It wasn’t as big a deal a year or so ago, but it seems that a global New Year’s resolution was for all the Facebook holdouts to finally join up. Which has been really, really awesome. I’ve connected with some people I haven’t seen since my elementary school years in Virginia, lost compatriots from Musician’s Institute, and all the cool people from high school I haven’t seen in years.

For years, I’ve gotten used to interacting with high-tech/web colleagues via social media sites like Facebook, Flickr, Twitter and the like, but the deeper life connections being made within Facebook are just too strong to avoid. Staying in touch with industry colleagues is great- don’t get me wrong – but the depth and breadth of connections on Facebook trump any of the other social sites hands-down.

So- I’m probably going to find myself posting on Twitter less and less, and Facebook more and more (especially as FB can send Twitter my status updates anyway). Interesting.
