For the past couple of weeks, I’ve had my hands in a number of pots. It feels good. I like experimenting. With the clock running out soon, I’m thinking about heading back to work next week. I’ve got two new clients and some exciting usability projects to focus on which will leave much less time for my personal computer playtime.
The things that have me most interested right now are rivers of news, the radio2 minimal blogging tool, setting up a wiki, tending to my EC2 instance, running an OPML Editor server, blogging, and whipping Become the Media into the shape that it deserves and needs.
That’s a lot to focus on. Thankfully, I’ve been able to get some of those items up to speed in the past few weeks. They are stable enough to run with and possibly share with others. And that is the idea behind Become the Media. It’s always been my platform to share ideas and knowledge with others. I may even request donations for Become the Media should I start hosting rivers of news or providing Radio2 accounts. But any money making ventures will most certainly fall under a different domain. A dot.com existence.
Become the Media = Donation Based/Free.
Dot.Com = Small Business/Not Free.
Once the concepts that I am implementing on Become the Media, such as hosting rivers of news and adding users to the Radio2 server, take hold and prove stable, then I’ll seek ways to turn them into a viable business in some other way.
One step at a time.
