My Digital Life

Figured it was time to update the blog with some inane daily going-ons.

I’m currently trying to start freelance photographing for a local paper. (Will go into further detail if it goes anywhere.) I also want to start delivering their papers. Two easy ways to get into journalism without actually having to write anything.

But getting a job means tidying up my digital persona. Which means not bitching about having to write if I ever want a writing job.

I still have an alternate domain at surfingonarocket.com, which I’ll be putting to use shortly as a front page for me, myself. It’ll include links to my flickr (both my personal account and the new “professional-ish” account?), the blog, and – naturally – my resume. Which I’ve been working on lately.

Oh, it’ll be awesome. Just you wait.

Party on, Garth.

A 2fer

Shortly after posting that last entry, I packed up my stuff, left the Pub, and walked to my Human Genetics class. A note on the door announced that it was cancelled today, so I went back to the Pub. But it was hot and stuffy, so now I’m sitting outside. I’m still picking up the WiFi signal, and it’s beautiful out (considering that some were predicting snow last week (didn’t happen)). The only downside is that there are a lot of those tiny little fruit-flies buzzing around. Can’t have everything.

I also just now registered an account at mediabistro and made a nice, professional e-mail address. I was wondering about domain names for this blog, should I ever get around to shaping up this site, becoming more mature and marketable. But perhaps white male consumer is “hip” and “edgy” enough. Who knows. The vast majority of people probably thing I’m a white supremacist.

And there’s a very friendly chipmunk running around. Within arm’s reach, but of course the little bugger is too fast for me to even attempt anything.

Almost ran over a squirrel the other day, but he zigged and I zagged and everyone was happy.
