Well, apart from dealing with family crises over the holidays, here’s some of my geek doings from this last week.
- I’ve continued playing and posting my various life adventures over at reality all starz. Check out my page if you haven’t yet. There’s no way I’ll win the prize by the end of the year, but looks like I’ll be in about 5th place.
- I’ve been goofing around with Stumble-Upon -a fun, dangerous (time suck and content) way to randomly trip through the net on the suggestions of others and, I just realized, a great way to promote your own sites. I’ve seen traffic increase here and at other wonderosity sites since adding them to StumbleUpon.
- I’ve been testing out various other social-networking sites, too many to note here and nothing super noteworthy.
- I’ve added a few videos to Revver.com, testing the remote possibility of making $ from video views. I guess I’d need to put something worthwhile up first, but I’ve heard you have to have a HUGE number (?) to get any kind of decent payback.
- I’ve been playing around with and adding a few things to the 43things (RobotCoop) suite of sites…I think there is a lot of potential there, and I’d even love to see if they have any employment opportunities.
- We gave into social pressures and got our first cell phone. Yup you heard me right, FIRST. We just haven’t needed one and haven’t wanted to add the ‘cons’ (being available and bugged all the time, relying on tech more than trust, the added financial cost, etc) for the ‘pros’ (convenience, safety for emergencies, etc.) But the recent advent of a few ‘close call’s, the rapid disappearance of payphones, combined with pressure and a Christmas gift offer from my mom to get us kick-started with the cost, means we now have one. We’ll see how it goes. I’ve secretly been wanting to join the club for a year or two now anyway. Partly because it now means I can have some extra (very needed) social time during drives, and I can also check my email here and there (since we’ve chosen to not be connected at home.) We went with Verizon because of coverage issues, and a Samsung sch-a930 because I was talked into it.
