Writing again… hopefully

7/27/2013

It's been a while, a long while since I've done any writing. I'm going to try to get started again. I finally feel like I'm capable of putting something intelligent out there again but I suppose you'll be the judge of that. I've overhauled the website, it's still a work in progress so please bear with me.

 

I've also made a few other blogs for more specialized topics. This one will still be my catch all, economics, music, general thoughts, etc. I have a blog specifically about app.net called ADNViews. App.net is the social media service that I have been using the most recently. There's a lot going on there, if you're curious you can check it out or listen to the podcasts I have made about it. . I have also made a new blog called Through Complexity that I hope will explore just how complicated things really are. Too often we think we know what's really going on and therefore know just how to fix things. I think there is too much hubris and not enough humility when it comes to things like the economy, politics, justice, etc. Haven't posted there yet, but things are percolating...

 

One of the many things that app.net has allowed me to do is make podcasts! I will drop them into these blogs if I think they're appropriate. Sometimes you gotta say stuff instead of writing it… OK, enough blogging about blogging, time to get to writing!

Podcasts for folks new to ADN.

6/02/2013

Here are the first four podcasts I made for @ADNViews. They are brief overviews of app.net and reasons why you might want to use it. There will be other episodes but these are general knowledge about the service, I frequently contrast app.net to Twitter. I hope they are useful.

 

Episode #1. What is ADN? No, really, what is it?

 

ADNViews #2. Is it possible to make a social network that doesn't end up sucking? Yes, it is app.net.

 

ADNViews episode #3. OK, so what can I do on app.net? It isn't a twitter clone. 

 

ADNViews episode #4. How do I find people to follow on app.net?
