Travis Smith: my resume, bio and photos back to the main blog page

Kinzin, Facebook Ads and the Inadvertent Huckster

I use Facebook, and I’m pretty liberal when it comes to adding new applications, joining groups, and being fans of a company. I’m a pretty open guy. But that behavior, becoming fans of a company, exposed an interesting problem recently.

Thoughts About SXSW 2008

Did I really go? Where was I?  Oh yes, Austin.  For South by Southwest, the annual uber-tribal gathering of social Web designers and developers.

I’m On My Way Down (in Size)

I’m 187 lbs. right now.  It’s not hugely overweight, but it’s heavier than I’ve been in two years, and it’s not a good amount to weigh if I want to be able to run up and down the field playing Ultimate, which I plan to do again this summer.

Overheard

“An unexamined life is not worth living.”

...who said it?

“BBFF (Best Bacon Friends Forever)”

...who said it?

“I find myself thinking of a checklist Wozniak wrote a few years ago describing how to become a genius. His advice was straightforward yet strangely terrible: You must clarify your goals, gain knowledge through spaced repetition, preserve health, work steadily, minimize stress, refuse interruption, and never resist sleep when tired. This should lead to radically improved intelligence and creativity. The only cost: turning your back on every convention of social life.”

...who said it?

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.”

...who said it?

“Ever have something in your teeth that you cannot stop tonguing?”

...who said it?
