What is this?

This is a tumblelog (using tumblr). It is a collection of my online activity, including blog posts, flickr photos, Natuba (mobile) photos, twitter posts, del.icio.us links, and comments elsewhere.

Who am I?

I'm a designer, a photographer, a consultant, a college student, a skiier, a net native, a theatre fanboy, and an Australian (if living there for three years counts). Here's some articles about me.

I have a coworking space in Downtown Bryan called The Creative Space, where I'm working on Erickson Media Group, Activist Apparel, and a few other projects.

I am also one of the founders of the BIL Conference, a free unconference run in conjunction with TED.

Find me on

flickr, twitter, facebook, del.icio.us, LinkedIn, Natuba, Upcoming.org, and Netflix.

I recently found the pink/green combo as well. After buying a nice pale pink shirt, I played around with a bunch of ties until I came across a green one that just worked great with it.

I wish I had a better photo, but here’s one from an awards ceremony at which I spoke: http://flickr.com/photos/mg315/2460153656/
