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.

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.
