52 Projects

At The Storque

I've got a piece up at Etsy's Storque -- "What's Your Project?" It's about side projects.

52projects.com is a Yahoo Picks Profile

Thanks to Yahoo (and G) for profiling 52projects.com as part of its Yahoo Picks Profile feature.

What's Your Project Flickr Group

I've mentioned the What's Your Project Flickr Group before -- that's where you can post pictures of your projects, whatever those projects might be -- in process, finished, the making of... whatever. So far, 63 people have joined the group, and some wonderful photos of very cool projects have been put into the group "pool." In the left column of the 52projects.com site, you'll see there is now a sidebar item that features thumbnails of the three most recent pictures submitted to the group pool. Anyway, I hope you'll join the group and put your project photos into the pool.

More Photos in 2007

I've committed to taking more photos in 2007. I've added a flickr element to this site (in the right column), though there aren't many photos uploaded yet. At least the incentive is there now.

And I am certainly not without inspiriation -- I'm always checking in on photo sites like Self-Portrait Challenge and JPGMag.com, and so many of the blogs and sites I regularly visit always feature such amazing photos. (Such as Hula Seventy's recent red velvet cake shots.) While perusing recent submissions to JPGMag, I came across so many great photos, including this one by Hana. And over at True Nature, Jenny Vorwaller posted about meeting up with a new friend to take photos. All very inspiring.

So, incentive + inspiration means more photos in 2007.

52 Projects in MySpace

Continuing my tradition of being an early adopter -- on the cutting edge of the internet space, I've recently started a 52 Projects page on this new thing called MySpace. It's this amazing connective community site. You've probably never heard of it, but I think you should definitely check it out.

I also figured that starting a 52 Projects MySpace page would help in my effort to spend less time online in front of a computer, and more time out and about.

But seriously, so many people have MySpace pages: SMITH, Glowlab, Josh Kilmer-Purcell, Hillary Carlip, Rachel Kramer Bussel -- the list goes on and on. Thought it would be fun to connect on MySpace with those folks, and with 52 Projects readers as well.
