As of now I maintain two blogs. My blogger that is used for research and storage of articles that might be useful. Or when I am pissed off, politics and the horrible antics of our corrupt and illegal government. And then there is my LiveJournal for theorizing. This is almost exclusively theatre based, it is original creative theoretical writings.
I am curious of the readers of these if it would be useful to merge the two. It seems, based on my own blog reading, that there is a preference for the blogger type blog. I use the two for different purposes and each one is suited to its own purpose quite well. The ‘blog this’ functions of blogger integrates into Firefox quite well and makes it easy to grab bits of articles and post links. LiveJournal allows for comment threads, which I love for conversations as it can keep two divergent trains of thought going simultaneously without getting muddled.
If I do not hear anything back from the readers I will assume the status quo is good enough.
While I am at it I also maintain a portfolio where I have archival pictures of past shows and artist/design statements.
I have a Flickr account for hosting images on line.
I have a My Space account for general social networking and keeping track of friends. Friendster for the same, although few people seem to use it anymore.
I have another portfolio on a british website as well as my NYU Portfolio.
My del.icio.us account is used in fits and starts. Often depending on how much text research I am doing for a show as opposed to visual research.
I have an AIM/iChat account but I will not tell you my user name in a public forum.
I moved to New York five years ago for graduate school from Berkeley, CA. For the last two years I have split my time between New York and Oakland, CA. I am now based permanently in New York, although I seem to travel across the country to design and assist, wherever needed.
I have an amazing girlfriend who will be moving to New York from Oakland this fall around our two year anniversary.
How is that for Web 2.0 meets Bio 2.0?
Have a good day.
Oh, and as always, if you like what you read I can take donations
