Adults adding -y, -ey or -ie to the end of their 3 letter name

I am packed and more or less ready for departure. I took this picture because this is my life. All my belongings, moving forward.

Last day in the Midwest for a while.

Bon Jovi has always sucked.

The Union Graphic

On September 17th I will be arriving in Melbourne. There I will be reconnecting with friends, traveling and most excitingly, starting a small studio with my good friend Aaron Moodie. The studio is called The Union Graphic. Together Aaron and I will focus primarily on print (with a side of web) work for (first and foremost) The bi-annual Next Wave Festival in Melbourne, as well as other ventures in the art, design, architecture and not-for-profit realm.

Until then, I will be cruisin' the USA visiting lovely people coast to coast. I'm hoping to regain a life interesting enough to document and share. Time will tell.

To those of you not in Australia, why? I reckon you should plan a visit. For those of you already there, I can't wait to see you.

Tramps like us...

Its not even a debate anymore dude.

In 1,040 characters I will add my embarrassingly tardy two cents to the twitter debate (& naturally, create a compounded twitter term: “twitterate”). There are three main reasons I Tweet. I have already published the first so I will focus on the remaining two.

Twitter is like any other creative/expressive environment, be it YouTube, a blog, a poetry journal, or a freestyle battle; some participants excel & create intriguing/entertaining expressions that utilize the limitations, & others author predictable, drab or unfortunate writings.

Twitter is an opportunity to share anything, poetically, practically or otherwise. One can choose to document and publish the seemingly small aspects of life (there was a time when “appreciate the little things” was an oft recited line). Or one can report from the front-line (preferably with a link to more information).

I don’t believe everyone should tweet, but for those interested & inspired, it is/can be, far more than a 140 character window for journaling your life, or it can be just that.
