In the last 14 days, I've posted 113 posts and photos. Mostly to Twitter, Flickr, Foursquare

Since I started writing online in October of 1999, about 10.82 years ago, I've posted 17,495 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 34.17 years.

Three of my favorite projects

8:36pm

For the last 798 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 2 hours ago, I said, "8:36pm Totally forgot my 8:36pm. We were eating a delicious locavore dinner."

 

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.

You must rally others with your vision. 10. You must stake your reputation on your better self. 11. You must be comfortable with the consequences of being who you are. 12. You must share. 13. You must make your own advice and take it. 14. You must manage your stress, health, and clarity. 15. You must study your mistakes. 16. You must retry things you don't like every once in a while. 17.
