other sites

[i am a camera]
A more confessional journal than this one, updated more frequently, always accompanied by a real-time cellphone photo. Maintained at my VOX account, using their excellent mobile client for Palm. RSS-enabled.

Two- to five-minute video reports from random events in my day-to-day life: gallery openings, indie-rock shows, drunken parties with my friends and the like. Recorded on my cellphone, a Treo 650, uploaded at a later date to my account at YouTube.com. RSS-enabled.

Candid photos from my day-to-day life in Chicago and elsewhere, courtesy of Flickr.com. RSS-enabled. I am also now maintaining a separate page there as well, tracking just my favorite images from other photographers.

A promotional website and blog for Fabb, the "virtual prefabricated housing" company I run within the strange videogame Second Life. Includes regular free tutorials on the SL building process.

[social bookmarks]
Each day I post 5 to 15 links online to other interesting things I've found on the web, over at my account at del.icio.us. A good option for those who want to find out what in the general culture interests me these days, in that I rarely post outside links here at my personal site. RSS-enabled.

Maintained by the free service FriendFeed.com.

[randommedia] is a semi-regular podcast I have been producing since spring 2005, using a Blogger webpage and a free service called Audioblogger.com; recordings are made from my cellphone, and because of technical limitations are never more than five minutes in length. I use the podcast mostly to record interesting small conversations during random moments in my life; interviews with local scenesters, reports from artistic events, drunken conversations with friends at parties and the like. Episodes are originally posted in real time to my Blogger webpage, then reposted to this site later for archival purposes; the MP3 tracks found here have already been edited in iTunes and contain metadata and photos about the episode, while the tracks at the Blogger page do not. Both sites have podcast-friendly web feeds for just the audio reports; here is the one for Blogger and here is the one for this site. (To use, right-click on the link and choose "Copy Link to Clipboard;" then paste the link into the "add feed" window of your favorite podcast software or feed reader.)

This episode: A conversation with my German friend Alamar, visiting Chicago for the first time. Here we are on the Chicago Metra suburban train system, making our way to Batavia for our visit to the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, a sort of nerd Mecca for practical-engineering majors like Alamar.
