Last week I went to a wedding. My Mom’s. She and Susan have been together for 12 years, 6 with a civil union, which is so much more peaceful than an uncivil union (much less expensive too).
Then I got back to SF, went in to work for a few hours then headed up north to Stone Lake Farm where I camped for a couple nights, and helped move some stoves around. That was an oversimplified explanation of the weekend.
Seesmic du Jour Season 1 ended. Below is the last episode. It’s crazy that it’s over now, I don’t know how I’ll be able to count how long I’ve worked at Seesmic now. Just imagine having a video archive of every day for the past 168 work days. For me, even though it was not a show about me, it was a show that I was there for every day. I shot it, I edited it, I came up with ideas for it, then at the end of the day, every day, I posted it all over the web and blogged it for Loic. And now I don’t. That is a crazy feeling, but it’s also a ton of weight off of my shoulders. Now I can use my creative energy on other Seesmic production projects.
All signs point to summer. It’s time to unlock the creative box and get some projects going. I have a few in mind, tell me what you think.
- Break out the sewing machine and get crafty.
- Edit some personal videos as well as videos for friends and family.
- Write and read some Screenplays. I’ve never done this, but I think it would be fun.
- Focus full time on Ultimate Frisbee.
- Focus on my online persona, building Whit Scott as a brand.
I’m open for suggestions.

Congrats on finishing the season of Seesmic Du Jour. I’m most curious about #5. How are you planning on building your brand and what are your goals for it?

[...] opened Whit’s blog this morning to see his notes on the beginning of summer, and followed through to the photographs of his mother Bear’s wedding to her longtime partner [...]

Do you feel like you can only do one or two of the activities listed above?

Yea for your mom! That made me smile!
So, I set up your priorities for you in case you were too busy…
1. Edit some personal videos as well as videos for friends and family.
(Go new years ‘07-’08!)
2. Break out the sewing machine and get crafty. (join me in some felting work!)
3. Focus full time on Ultimate Frisbee.
(yea, east coast tourneys!)
4. Write and read some Screenplays. I’ve never done this, but I think it would be fun.
(can you do a charter school documentary? we are such drama here at CPCS)
5. Focus on my online persona, building Whit Scott as a brand.

I have time for all of them, I just have to get good at using that time wisely. Can’t wait!
