Where I now do the vast majority of my daily online updating, everything from CCLaP notices to silly pop-culture observations. I automatically approve all friend requests!

[i am a camera]
My other personal blog, for thoughts too frivolous for this main site but too wordy for Facebook.

[flickr]
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.

[youtube]
Two- to ten-minute video reports from random events in my day-to-day life: gallery openings, bicycling guides, drunken parties with my friends and the like. Recorded on my Nikon Coolpix, edited in iMovie. RSS-enabled.

[social bookmarks]
Each day I post 5 to 15 links to other interesting things I've found on the web, over at my account at Google Reader. 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.

The Jason Pettus Superfeed: One insanely busy RSS feed tracking nine different places online that I update often -- not only my three blogs, but my Flickr and YouTube accounts, Facebook too, my latest book reviews at GoodReads, my latest favorites at Google Reader, and my latest movies at Netflix. Maintained by the free service FriendFeed.com.

Behold, the Jason Pettus Widget

Download the Jason Pettus Widget for Mac OSX

I have created a "widget" for my various online accounts, a small piece of software that will deliver feeds straight to your desktop, instead of you having to visit the sites through a web browser. It is for Mac OSX's "Dashboard" feature, which users can pull up on their machines by pressing the "F12" button on their keyboards. Simply download the file to your computer and then double-click on it; your operating system should take care of all the rest automatically. Then, to change which feed you wish to view, simply click on the black "information" icon that appears when hovering over your widget with your mouse.

This widget was created by stealing large amounts of code from the much better Google Sightseeing Widget, created by a widget-development company called Colorworks. I am happy to acknowledge this publicly, and want to thank them immensely for the help in creating my own (and for not suing me).
