Tag Cloud

What are the other ways of looking at your blog? Above is a word cloud I got from wordle.net. I think this is pretty interesting. It is taken from the labels/tags from Sad Salvation. You can claim that this is what my blog is about. The labels are incomplete and I am not sure my blog is about anything. It still gives me something to think about. If I ever finish labeling all my old blog entries I will have to look at this again.

I found this on Zeigen.

2008 Goals

I think it is important to have goals. Without goals it is hard to measure how things are getting done. I am not always the best at

Here are my first batch of goals for 2008

1. For at least 40 weeks this year blog three days a week.
2. Total Flickr photos posted to 10,000
3. Total Flickr views, 2 million
4. Walk a more than 3,650,000 steps
5. *** **** ** ***** ** (This has to do with a secret)
6. Take a photo every day.

Let me know if you think I should have any more goals.

Brand v. Self

The other night I watched an episode of Frontline about advertisement titled, The Persuaders. The episode really got me thinking about brand. Which brands are important to and which brands are not. There are brands I prefer, but I do not think they are core to my purchase decisions. There are brands I prefer, but I do not see myself a fan of that company.

The show is all about how companies get people to buy their products. I would like to say that I always buy the best product for me. I would like to say that advertisements never change my ideas. I know that is not true. I know that I see ads and want the product in the ad. I see ads and decide what I am going to have for dinner.

After seeing the episode of Frontline I thought of the idea of the tag cloud of my brands. Seeing which brands are in my life. It is not only the brands I know I like, but the brand I use begrudgingly. I know that the tag cloud below is not accurate, but it is a start. I think it could be an interesting art project.
