Some things I want to do...
November 2, 2009 | 2 Comments
I always like to have a little project on the go, and since I've started simplifying my life I've found that I have a lot of time on my hands so I figured I might try and get one of these little projects happening.
Listed below are a few little creative things that I've wanted to do for a while now, ie. write a book, record a regular podcast, and giveaway desktop backgrounds, and I figured it might be a good motivator to actually write them down and try and motivate myself to get started on one of them..
So here goes......
I'm not exactly sure why, but I've always wanted to write a book. Most likely it'll be non-fiction, and probably about beginning web design, or maybe something photography related. I'll probably give it away on my blog here, as a pdf ebook, and maybe even as a Kindle book too.
I think I'll try and get it done and ready to release some time early in 2010.
I love podcasts, I listen to 10-12 different podcasts each week, and I think I'd like to record one myself. I think I would do a podcast about music, that seems like it would be the easiest one for me to do as I would be able to release it under the I'm With The Band brand, and I still get sent a large number of press releases and music for review.
Hrmm, I might do a play / test podcast at the end of this month.
I have a boatload of photos that I think would make pretty cool desktop backgrounds. So I think I'm going to start cropping, resizing, and uploading some of them over the next week or two. I'll release them under a Creative Commons license, or maybe even remove the copyright altogether.
I think once I get the workflows sorted out in Aperture I'll end up releasing a few new desktops every week or so.
So the challenge has been set, I've posted this on my blog and there's not much I can do to take it back.
Hrmm, not sure where I'll start. Maybe the desktop backgrounds would be a good place as I can do some quick resizing and workflow things in Aperture, after that it's just exporting and uploading. Easy peasy!

Wha? You're going to bust out a book by early 2010?!
Well, you can go ahead and give it away if you like.... or, I could sell it on my site ;)
Don't expect War & Peace out of me Carlee, it's just going to be a small website set up guide type thing....nothing majorly intense just a 'avoid this, do that, this is a scam, etc..."
