Workin' Overtime

‹ Internet Freedom Threatened by Telecommunications Industry Lobbyists Web-Based Life Forms ›

I've been working long hours lately on some cool projects at the university. I thought only freelancers worked such ungodly hours. Not! Turns out I hadn't taken into account the universal appeal of turning little digital squiggles into virtual realms of color, shape and context. I'd also forgotten about Remote Desktop.

One thing I'm discovering is that the joy of creation is independent of your employment circumstances. Whether you're a freelancer, a staffer or an amateur, fashioning something out of nothing but thin air and your own brain waves is downright thrilling. Web designers take empty space and, using thought alone, create something tangible there. That's awesome, no matter who's signing your checks.

According to author Ray Oldenburg, everybody needs a third place (besides home [1] and workplace [2]). In lieu of the local colesium, neighborhood bar or corner store, the Internet has become the third place for many people in America—a virtual hangout where conversation flourishes, friendships are made and citizens meet. Often in our pajamas.

I've been hanging out here since 1996, building web sites, making friends, and learning. This blog is my small contribution to the lively, never-ending dialogue.

Thanks for stopping by.
