What is this?
This is a tumblelog (using tumblr). It is a collection of my online activity, including blog posts, flickr photos, Natuba (mobile) photos, twitter posts, del.icio.us links, and comments elsewhere.
Who am I?
I'm a designer, a photographer, a consultant, a college student, a skiier, a net native, a theatre fanboy, and an Australian (if living there for three years counts). Here's some articles about me.I have a coworking space in Downtown Bryan called The Creative Space, where I'm working on Erickson Media Group, Activist Apparel, and a few other projects.
I am also one of the founders of the BIL Conference, a free unconference run in conjunction with TED.
Find me on
flickr, twitter, facebook, del.icio.us, LinkedIn, Natuba, Upcoming.org, and Netflix.
