Blogging, Photo-A-Day

Photo-A-Day #1369

The title may refer to the photo but it doesn’t, it refers to me. I’ve been back in the office after a rather disjointed, lengthy and relaxing time at home. I have one time consuming project that I am working on right now, I am enjoying it but it takes time and concentration. It is a bit of graphic work that I really like to do. I will have to do a blog post about the technique I am using to create these images. The problem is that I have over 180 more to do and each takes about 10 minutes to get it right. That wouldn’t be so bad except that on top of that I have meetings to get up to speed in the new group and I have a large project that was assigned to me that is rather high profile. All of my time management and creative juices better be topped off to make this project a success.

I’m also not complaining, I’m feeling challenged and I’m excited, I just want to make sure I can balance everything and a good job. I do have some great online mentors though like Ted Murphy, Chris Brogan (By the way yesterday my online world and work world collided when I was referred to a site to see a Chris Brogan presentation on how to create an effective presentation, crazy) and Ed Gerety.

On the blogging front I have been trying to juggle family time with a decrease of blogging time but an increase in trying to maintain each blog. I am trying to update at least once a week on all the blogs. Three of them are updated daily. This one of course, Google is Not God because it gets all my utterli mobile posts automatically and 15 Minutes A Day because of my experiment in trying to learn Chinese. The two that are suffering are Read To Me, Dad and The Wired Kayaker. Those I have to make sure to post to each week, something to keep it interesting. Also I am verbose, I can’t just write something short and sweet. My own fault.

BenSpark goes to a Toy Drive
Photo-a-Day #1338

I put on my “I’m Not A Famous Blogger” T-Shirt and went downtown to a Christmas Is For Kids Toy Drive that was sponsored by Achin’s Garage. My friend Sarah posted the event on Facebook and that is how I learned about it. It was definitely a great thing to see, all those toys for needy kids. I even donated a toy. I picked up a toy yesterday from Walmart that was supposed to be for Eva. However she was lucky enough to get the toy in Florida from Mimi and Grandpa Dano. Here is my video interview with Sarah, I forgot to zoom out on the video camera, that is why it was so close. I used my XShot 2.0 to take the video too.

More things are being added to BenSpark’s Big Box of Awesome!. There are many guesses and one guess that was right on the money was from Karen who stated that there was an “IZEA pop can holder” which is totally correct. The IZEA pop can holder is called a Koozy and there is certainly one in the box.

An IZEA koozy was found in BenSpark's Big Box of Awesome!
