I Scream Social
posted under: Acting, Web on Monday, April 21, 2008
There are so many social networking sites out in this wild and crazy world wide web that I occasionally get hooked into one or two. You may have already seen my Twitter feed that I import on this site. Well now there is a new addition to the main navigation. Enter Tumblr. Oh, hello Tumblr.
Tumblr is like a mini-blog with a focus on media such as video, audio and photos. It’s more flexible than twitter which has a 140 max character limit but the concept is just as simple. Some people even use tumblr as their full blog but I’ve decided to use it for things I deem blog worthy but not necessarily as a feature.
In the near future I’d like to use tumblr as a means of posting my yet-to-be-released video podcast. But for now I hope you’ll peruse the tumble section and enjoy little media tidbits.
Speaking of my podcast, my friend Erik created some music to use as the theme song. I showed him my rough cut podcast intro and told him that I liked the idea of the music I made for it but wasn’t exactly stoked on it. So he came up with a very cute tune that I’ll try and throw some vocals on this week. I’ve got ideas for the podcast intro reshoot but I’m not sure it’s ready yet as I may be borrowing John’s video camera instead of using my digicam.
Will update more on that of course as things progress but for now, I thought I’d just make note of a little site spring cleaning. In addition to integrating tumblr into the site I tidied up the social links in the footer, spruced up the twitter box and made the photo box on the homepage dynamic and randomly rotating. I hope to add more pics as I get them and especially when I get new headshots taken.
Feel free to add me to tumblr or twitter if you’d like. Let me know in the comments if you do so that I can add you as well!
And now for something completely different.
The thumbnail to this entry is of Dick’s Drive-In on Broadway, an iconic Seattle fast-food joint. Don’t believe the hype, it’s not anything like In-N-Out burger, but it’s not bad and is very cheap.

@tomcarmony I hope you're right, thanks for the link. At least they are discussing their countless errors in public now. Sheesh. I'll wait.

Hey, speaking of social networking sites, I’ve discovered Facebook during my hiatus from blogging/acting. So much fun!
Anyhow, I’ve written a new blog post, stop by and check it out when you have time…

Hey Isabelle, good to see you. Glad you’re out of your blogging hiatus
Oh yes, facebook. I forgot to mention that. I have one as well but I’m still hesitant on whether or not I like it. Most social sites kind of make me want to barf. But aside from being incredible time wasters, they do have their uses sometimes.
