Life moves quickly. I recently attended Burning Man 2008. I attended early and stayed late to assist my camp with setup and tear down. The photo attached to this post shows my mobile office inside of our dorm tent. During setup, I was able to do a minimal amount of work via the half ass wifi connection being broadcast across the playa. On the first day of the event, I shut my laptop lid and hoped for the best. Much to my pleasant surprise, everything went very smoothly while I was away. Perhaps I should vacation more often?
Actually, I overstate the ease at which I travel a bit. Upon my return, I had to dig in and play some hard core catch up. Besides spending a large amount of energy on our Digital Theatrics campaign, I had to prepare for Ignite Denver last night. There exists proof that I was there as I’m in this photo on the left - the cave man look’n fellow with a pretty girl, aka Velzy. It was the first time I’ve addressed such a large audience (~65) about Digital Theatrics. It was fun to present the topic to the crowd, even if it was just for 5 minutes. It also just so happened that it was also Geeks Who Drink night. Velzy and I took 4th place.
Regarding our campaign, things are going smoothly. Our traffic numbers aren’t large. The past few days we’ve seen around 300 to 400 uniques a day. However, our traffic trend is very clearly on the rise. We seem to be establishing a fairly sustainable flow.
The proverbial cat is out of the bag - anyone who’s following the campaign should have realized that it is a marketing effort by now. However, I still don’t feel like it is the right time to reveal the campaign in this blog. I would rather wait until the campaign is near complete before getting into the behind the scenes details. If you’re determined or if you just happen to know me, you may very well know exactly what the campaign is about. But, for everyone else, you’ll just have to wait a bit.
While I have some very capable people helping me, Webcraft is still mostly my own effort. I hope this changes in coming months. I’ve been exploring a variety of paths for Webcraft and myself. I’m not entirely sure what the future holds. Here’s to the future, whatever it is.
