Spring <br /> and Life Lists

April 26, 2008

In high school, I was very comfortable speaking in front of groups. I was in debate and drama, and had to do several presentations when I was an exchange student (often in French!). For some reason, however, when I got to University I developed a slight fear of public speaking. I struggled with an inability [...]

Fanfic, Schroedinger’s Cat and Anaïs Nin

April 18, 2008

It turns out that the Groundswell Social Profile quiz I blogged about earlier wasn’t an official Forrester creation. Rather, it was created by a fan – and you can read the official Forrester take on this on their blog. This raised an issue I read about earlier this week on ReadWriteWeb: Content is Becoming a [...]

Scooped!

April 18, 2008

We at Resource have been educated in the concepts pertaining to The Open Brand for months now. One of the premises in the book is that there are four different types of “iCitizens”, divided based on their motivations behind their online activities. We’d done some internal activities involving self-assigning ourselves to one group or another, [...]

Grad School Retrospective (2)

April 17, 2008

As I mentioned in my last post, I am taking some time to look back on my time in grad school. A list of course titles and descriptions doesn’t really speak to what I got out of the course, or what I put into it. 4. Application of Artificial Intelligence – This was the first [...]

Post overload

April 9, 2008

Apologies to any RSS subscribers who got overloaded with posts last night. I was looking at how to import a list of “daily tumbles”. I was looking at a few wordpress plugins, namely wp-o-matic and yadd. wp-o-matic worked great… perhaps too great! The first time I kicked off a campaign (pulling the feed in), it [...]

lifestream management

April 8, 2008

iKeif is my pod-neighbour at Resource. We both started at Resource this year as Sr (Front-end) Developers, coming over from large corporations. We share many of the same interests and opinions on the UX/Web field (at least, he doesn’t disagree with me..!). If I hear of a new service, he’s probably already investigated it. Lately [...]

Attention: RSS update…

April 4, 2008

  Originally uploaded by Resource Interactive I’m giving feedburner a try — if you are accessing this feed via RSS, please update to http://feeds.feedburner.com/afhill This was the week of “emerging metrics” discussions at work. We actually had an entire lunch session discussing traditional versus emerging metrics. “Page views” simply isn’t enough anymore. As site visitors [...]

screen names

March 29, 2008

I want to know about screen names. We get to create a persona for ourselves, label (brand?) ourselves a certain way. What prompts us to make the choices we do? How do we see ourselves, or perhaps more importantly, how do we want others to see us? I use afhill for nearly everything online. It [...]

Last night the Columbus Society of Communicating Arts brought Jesse James Garrett from Adaptive Path in to speak about “Delivering Long-Term Design Value in a Short Term World”. One of my co-workers is the co-president of the group, and there were quite a few of us from work showed up to hear him speak. I’m [...]
