In the last 15 days, I've posted 163 posts and photos. Mostly to Twitter, Flickr, Delicious

Since I started writing online in October of 1999, about 10.91 years ago, I've posted 17,855 bits of nonsense. Yeah. And the problem is only getting worse.

About me

I live in Seattle. I am married to the amazing Kellianne. I am self-employed at a little company called Enjoymentland which builds things like Locavore and 750 Words. I have a cat named Sopor. I used to be Buster McLeod, and before that I was Erik Benson. I previously co-founded the The Robot Co-op as well as the now sleeping McLeod Residence. I self-published a book called Man Versus Himself. I have otherwise been occupied on this planet for about 34.26 years.

Three of my favorite projects

8:36pm

For the last 832 days, at 8:36pm, I have taken a picture of what I'm doing. It's sort of a weird obsessive photo project that I plan to do for the rest of my life. You should do it too, it's fun.

About about 19 hours ago, I said, "8:36pm Niko got his first tooth poking through, I'm following Lady Gaga on Ping, and this is the insides of boxed wine."

 

Locavore

Locavore is a simple iPhone app that gives you a way to find out what's in season near you, and where your local farmers' markets are.

 

750 Words

750words.com is simple website that gives you a way to write 3-pages privately every day, and learn about yourself in the process.
