Really, I want to do more writing. It seems though that every time I bring up a post window in Educer to start pounding away at the keyboard, I justify myself away from the post because it’s (a) not long enough, (b) doesn’t fit the normal subject matter, or (c) just doesn’t come out the way I want it to.
In order to get around that, I hope, I’m starting to establish more places for material to be published. I can get my quick thought, RT, slow chat, whatever done on Twitter. As of today, I can hopefully get the quick thought, but a little longer than 140 done at A Little Longer. I’m soon to setup a Tumblr blog that I can use to share media and other random bits. And I already have a Posterous site setup that I love to use when capturing pictures on my phone as kind of a mobile flow thing.
The end goal with all of this is to establish some kind of place for all of this published content to flow through. My own personal aggregator of sorts. The thought right now is that I can take what I learned from building My Status Cloud over the summer and apply it to a real time river of me at some central location.
Could all be very interesting. We’ll see.

Google launched a public DNS option today as part of their “effort to make the web faster”. It comes complete with a concise write up and extremely easy to remember IPs (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).
I’ve switched my connection from OpenDNS to Google for now. While all of the benchmarks that I’ve done on my end show that Google is slower than a few alternatives, I have a feeling it will get faster over time. Give them a few days to adapt to the new traffic.
If you’re looking for benchmark possibilities, I tried both namebench, which was pretty cool, and DNS Benchmark, which I like a lot.

A quick thought that’s slightly longer than 140 characters and refuses to be tweeted.
It used to be that I would often purchase empty journals, mostly Moleskine, to record different moments in time. Now I’m realizing that my brain has started defaulting to “ooh, I should register a domain and setup a quick site for that.”
And somewhat further, I’m actually in progress of transferring the contents of a Moleskine to a website. Hmm. It’s amazing how everything progresses and yet somehow remains a circle.

Don’t worry, if Chicago isn’t already in your head, then the title won’t make sense. Just smile and nod. But. Also. If you thought we were good looking before, check us out now.
I’ve been meaning to do some layout work on My Status Cloud, and finally sat down to get around to it. Some things just needed to be cleaned up a bit before I went back to adding features. If all works as intended, more things should look alike and there should be a better overall flow. Here’s a preview if you haven’t already left to try it out:

Pretty-ness done, back to code.
