Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetThanks, Nate! It's a wild ux. Kind of like purposefully overgrowing your lawn.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetNice. Hadn't seen holamun2. Looks cool. What did you do there?
Walking to meetup somewhere with friends is something I think I'm looking for in "home", which makes me think I won't be in LA forever. If only I could draw kickass, moody illustrations like you to express myself :)
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetI'm jealous! Riding a bike + bus here as the only means of transportation seems far too scary/unfun. I've come to the realization that the hour + long drive to get anywhere in this city is the root cause of people's lack of initiative to get together.
Question for you: do you miss anything about LA?
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetHadn't seen simplifythis.com, so thanks for the mention. My needs are fairly simple, but I have a lot of clients (lots of one-time as well as recurring invoices), so I quickly get into higher price plans. Your prices look good. I'll check it out...
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetSure. Seems to me, the deeper your knowledge gets, the more you'll have to grin and bear the chatter around topics like this...caffeine or no caffeine... ;)
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetI'm liking this new edgy tone...feels appropriate here. Dumb pipes shall inherit the web!

Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetHello, The DMV! Thanks for your comment. Sure, as I said, it was wonderful while the incentive lasted. That's a really interesting point you've raised though. One could say that incentives and regulations are two ways of encouraging vehicles with better gas mileage.
I do wonder, however, what the psychological effect of one vs the other has on people. Do they react better to positive tactics like incentives or negative tactics (no matter how necessary and valid) like regulations? For me, one was a gift, and the other is a chore.
As a DMV representative, can you offer and info on parking in Santa Monica? Is metered parking still free for Prius owners there?
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetYes yes yes! You're right, everything is dynamic (ever-changing). And how you do anything can be as important as what you do. And, yes, SM makes more sense as a process rather than an end in itself. Thanks for zooming out the focus...these acronym-ridden methodologies are so damned specific.
I think the only thing I'd add is that balance is a wonderful concept when looking at the equation of means and ends. In terms of SM, you've consumed enough when you are satisfied and you've consumed too much when you grow frustrated or overwhelmed and other parts of your life fall apart because you neglect them, endlessly plugged-in!
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetRe: your comment here - that's great! Keep it coming.
"Fan" for me has a large spectrum. Aren't there terms for fanhood...like avid, casual...? Those different levels of fandom are directly related to the attention the fan gives the creator.

Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetCongrats on your new position. Keep the dream (and tumblelog) alive!
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetExactly! Although, I dare you to post that on a developer blog and see what kind of losing battle you're getting yourself into there ;)
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetSM can help to accomplish things (especially for social media managers!) - sure.
Yes on the IPR (does that acronym work?). And also it's still exciting to connect with other humans (thank you for commenting, btw ;)!
One of the most intoxicating results of GTD is that you break everything down into actionable tasks. But, with SM, where there can sometimes be no end goal (will you ever be done reading blogs?), the tasks become an endless to-do list.
Without a self-imposed limit (spend only 10min looking at FriendFeed), there is no true closure with SM interactions. Help!!!
