This is old news by now, but I forgot to post about it here.
DILO (Day in the life of) is a photo project where you document one day of your life in pictures. I did it once in 2006 on just some random day, but this year I went with the crowd and did it on the summer solstice.
I wont post them all here, but you can check them out on Flickr.
Lets say hypothetically I were to start another podcast (or netcast). I could never do a personal podcast, because no body wants to hear that. At least I don’t. The podcasts I listen to (Mainly Diggnation and TWiT) are news, interviews, and round table discussions. If i am going to put through the effort of making a podcast, i want to make something that at least some people will want to listen to.
I was thinking maybe some kind of college show. Like what college kids think of technology today. Because I think TWiT and Diggnation make so many assumptions on what students do with technology. I’m not trying to say that they are old, but technology has deffinately changed since they were attending a University.
But again, to do anything interesting, I would want some kind of round table disscussion. If I asked some of my friends, I’m sure some of them would oblige. But would anyone listen to a handful of college kids talking about technology?
I’ve still got some time to mull this over. Also, I’m thinking of buying a domain for myself soon. That would probably help.

HAH! Hardly.
No I intend to stick with my friends for now. Personal Bloging on LJ has been Great! I love it. But there’s still something about being so far away from the nerd-dom thats got me typing on this old thing again.
The way I see it, I can still have my LJ as my most personal of mediums, and still maintain a public wordpress account, so that nobody can care, and I will feel like a nerd again.
Besides, how am I supposed to podcast on LJ?

The public domain doesn’t seem right for me. Sure i like to blog, but there just a different kind of blogging in the private communities than there is in the public domain. ANd i think that LJ is the right choice.
I will still be as geeky as ever, and use bloglines. but as far as blogging goes, the occasional public post might occur on my LJ. But for the most part, my blogging will be a private affair.
As a result of the move, feeds might be broken, and links might change. should be expected.
From now on you can find me on Korun.livejournal.com . Add me as a friend if you want to be added, or shoot me a message.
No one ever read this any way. I never got the feedback that i wanted. But i guess it’s to be expected when your using a standalone service.
On my way to work I was listening to Inside the Net where they were interviewing Mena Trott, co-founder of six apart. six apart started by making wordpress (this blog is on wordpress), which has since become the most wideply used standalone blogging software. they later went on to create typepad, a dulled down version but still widely used. then with all this revenue, they aquisitioned Livejournal. now with the experiance and back-end-knowledge of all 3 they are creating a new product, called Vox. and through out the whole interview they kept comparing it to LJ, while also saying that the software itself made it fun to blog.
And it just got me thinking. Have i lost the fun of blogging? i thought wordpress would bring it back, but really being in the public domain changes the experiance of blogging (vox is very private, and LJ has the option to be private). I remember in my early days on Xanga, blogging was actually fun.
So the issue i have been battling inside my head is this. I want to blog. I want it to be social, but i also want it to be easy and accessible. Right now WordPress is very easy, and somewhat accessible. LJ is very private, hence making it very social, but in itself is a whole system and community.
The main question is, do i stay in the public domain and remain remote, or do i move to LJ and remove myself from the public, while emrsing myself with my friends. There are obvious pros and cons to both sides.
So please let me know what you think in the comments.
