Inflatable Sheep

Time Flies When You're Having…

What happened to time???  It's been almost a month since I posted an entry.  I think I know why the absence - Twitter.  

Okay, so I gave up using Twitter for myself as it was boring and I just don't need another thing to keep up with.  However, at work, I set up a Twitter account and have been tweeting there every day.  

It's a lot more interesting.  Tweet about electric industry, green stuff, renewable energy, Santa Clara interests.  I follow all kinds of green people, other electric utilities, California government agencies, and local folks.  Getting into a routine, getting a voice appropriate for work, getting a balance in links to our website vs. outside links vs. re-tweeting other links.

Some excitement in seeing how a electric utility tweets a power outage due to a tornado, following their tweets real time, clicking on their re-tweets to the local TV station for more info on damage as it occurs.  Also, a cheap thrill when the State of California re-tweets one of my tweets.  Yes, it doesn't take much for me.

So, I figured I have in me about 1000 (for instance) words to spew everyday.  If I tweet at work, I'm using up some of those 1000 words.  By the end of the day, I have nothing in my brain to say.  

Dang.  I need to find some kind of balance.  Will have to work on that.

It's time to design a new website, nothing too exciting…just my portfolio website.  And I am stopped before I have begun.  I've read Lea's article in A List Apart—Redesigning Your Own Site for some nudging.  Maybe the key for me is to pretend this site is to never go live and I'm just doing a fun exercise using my body of work as something to fool around with.  I don't know.  Gotta find the key to unlock this door.  I might just need it before too long.
