Transmitting via The Internets

When I was a kid, friends of mind use to boost CB radios (much to the chagrin of the FCC,) in order to transmit short messages, “step on” people – a process of boosting a signal in which other radio users were drowned out, or just to conversate in a way that was a little different from the telephone.

Now you can do the same thing in millions of different ways – in 140 characters or less, with an attached image, without an attached image, replying to all, with a BCC, and every where in between. Much like the CB, we use these different mediums to say things to other people just a little differently – although a lot of times, we end up saying exactly the same things over and over again: text… link… post.

Rather than have this “blog” be just another way of saying the same thing, I’m hoping that this will rather fill a niche that can’t be expressed in a twitter feed, facebook post, or a pin on a board. Hopefully, this will have some original content, ideas, or thoughts on design, making, and technology, that somebody out there may get something out of.

And if not, at least it will be a record of things going on through the filter that is my brain, that I can laugh at some time in the future (Twitter feeds also can provide similar fun, although on a lesser scale).

So, please enjoy. Thanks!
