I’m in the process of cleaning up my website, so bare with me here as I update the thing.

Google Wave has announced that come September 30th, regular people like me and you will be able to open an account. Well, 100,000 of us anyway.
This reminds me of an interesting article that I read at the Candler blog called Google Wave for Filmmakers. Basically, applying the idea of Google Wave to filmmaking where you have a hub from which everyone can work from. Whether anyone takes this idea and runs with it or not will be up in the air (I’m very tempted to develop it, but don’t have the time or resources at the moment) for some time to come.
Still, as a production tool, Google Wave is dynamite and I can’t wait to get my hands on it. Here’s hoping I’m one of the 100,000.
Yesterday was a wake-up call for me. I did absolutely nothing but surf the internet. I have several projects I could have been working on or gone to see friends or done something productive but instead, 10am to 1am was spent almost entirely infront of the computer. There was only 1 productive thing I did:
The dishes.
I’ll backtrack for a second to explain the title, I have what my friends jokingly call ADD-OCD. Basically, what interests me jumps all over the place but once I clamp onto the next thing I get obsessive about it to the exclusion of all else… including eating. Yesterday I barely bothered to eat aside from breakfast and some tortilla chips and sunflower seeds and that kind of scared me this morning.
So, effective immediately, I’m going on Timothy Ferris‘ Low-Information diet from The 4-Hour Work Week. What is the low-info diet? You basically cut out as many sources of information as possible for one week. No news, no tv, no fiction books, no internet, no rss, no excessive email but you are allowed 1 hour of this stuff per day but that’s it.
It may seem excessive but I never seem to have time for anything really of my own.
