Black Friday – Doorbuster Unboxing

Posted on by

I woke the Dreamgirls up early this morning at 3 AM this morning so that we could eat breakfast at Bob Evans at 4 AM and then head to some doorbuster sales around our neighborhood. It turned out that Target had everything we really wanted. It was my first ever doorbuster experience, and I won’t forget it.

When I came home, I asked folks on Twitter if it was too self-serving for me to UStream the unboxing. I didn’t think it was interesting, but a few folks requested I do it, so I did in the video that follows. At the end of this video, I encouraged people again to check out How I Got My Job.

I think the video is about 30 minutes or so:

Twitter makes sharing the subtle nuances of life with friends and family easy

Posted on by

I used to put a small byline by each blog post here at the Journey Inside My Mind Blog:

Mood: Happy
Listening to: Coverville
Reading: Join the Conversation by Joseph Jaffe
Eating: baby carrots
Watching: Twitter in Plain English

These short, bite-sized nuggets (such as what you just saw above)would let you know how and what I was doing. Since August 2006, however, I’ve opted for a different way: Twitter

You may already know about Twitter, but the folks from Common Craft have put together a video that really helps it make sense:

Todd Van Hoosear and Ryan Stiles – Twins Separated at Birth?

Posted on by

You be the judge.

It’s so funny how we get to certain places on the web.

  1. Yesterday on Twitter, C.C. Chapman encouraged people to take pictures of themselves at work, upload them to Flickr, and tag them with “slackershots“. He even registered www.slackershots.com to point to the tag page for it.
  2. One of our fellow Twitter friends, Todd Van Hoosear, uploaded a picture of himself.
  3. I browsed the gallery and remarked on Twitter that his picture resembled Ryan Stiles of Whose Line Is It Anyway?
  4. Todd then posted the picture you see in this post and mentioned it on Twitter.

Todd and I have never met in person, but I sure hope we get to at some point.
What’s that? You want to know what picture I submitted? I didn’t have my camera with me yesterday, so I resubmitted my picture as a Home Fry Speed Demon.

The new media playground is like jazz

Posted on by

Mood: upbeat
Listening to: Managing the Gray: Every Day is a Good Day
Reading: Learning XML, Second Edition
Eating: an apple

I checked my Bloglines and noticed that C.C. Chapman mentioned my name on his latest episode and the Journey Inside My Mind Blog in the shownotes, specifically with an audio comment about how the new media playground is a lot like jazz:

“Do not fear mistakes; there are none.” – Miles Davis.

A lot of jazz music usually involves improvisation within the boundaries of a chord progression. The song starts off, usually with the melody. Then different instruments take their solos, which usually fall within the same chord progression as the melody. Eventually everyone comes back together to wrap up the song.

I’m probably grossly oversimplifying things with that description, especially when you consider trendsetters like Miles Davis, who through constantly reinventing himself, created new boundaries and genres of jazz music (Check out this post from 2003 for more information: Paving the Milestones).

I like to think that’s what it’s like with what we’re doing with new media.

ABOUT DANIEL JOHNSON, JR.

I suppose I should share a bit more about me, in case this is your first time here.

I’ve been blogging since January 2002 and podcasting since August 2005. I now have more blogs than I care to count. Here is more of me, in case you’re interested:

And of course you can find me on MySpace, LinkedIn, and other social media networks. I’m always open to connect; just let me know how you found me.
