So, you can now see online, video of my talk at the INVOLVER press conference we gave last week. It's on involver04.org. There's no comment function over there -- the idea is that all the chatter will happen more local, like here. Point being, if you have two cents (or more) to chime in, this is a place to do it.

I'm going to make something a little more developed out of this soon. Maybe spruce up the powerpoint, lay down a more rehearsed narration; you know, keep up my unabashed aping of Lessig. Maybe this could become something. It might be fun. Could be a ticket to ride.

I see little choice but to go all the way with where my life is heading as of late, to plunge in with both feet, both arms too; head, heart, soul, etc. We talk a big game about bringing our whole personalities to the equation, but for my part I haven't been doing much of that lately.

Part of it is just the natural result of working long hours in an office that's an hour commute both ways. Work often consumes more than 50% of my living hours, which doesn't leave a lot of waking time to be a healthy, well-rounded individual in. Part of it is that I lack some of the outlets I'm used to having. Part of it is just plain atrophy.

Boo hoo. Poor Josh. Ho ho ho. It's not a sob story, it's just a look at how things have been. A look back, savvy? 'Cause things are starting to change. We're gonna cut loose and have some fun with this mutha.
