Happy 2009!

January 9, 2009 on 2:14 pm | In Rant |

Hello my lovelies,

2008 was a very busy year for me. I have been completely neglecting Narration X (not by choice), got sucked into the facebook universe and of course twitter. It is a little overwhelming being a part of so many communities but at the same time very exciting. I have decided to use twitter for my little interesting tidbid links and have returned to plain old blog land to start writing more wordy content about the new things I learned in 08. I actually feel that I have alot to write about again.

I officially started a new company called “Graphic Mint” with Julian Becerra. Its focus is on the visual and interaction design side of branding, products, and services. We care about providing experiences that look-and-feel great.

Multimediawise, 2008 was probably my most prolific to date. I really learned to crank stuff out and that sometimes you have to cut corners even though you don’t want to. This was a big shock for my perfectionist side as I always wanted more time to finesse. But thats what your learn when you work for a start up.

Thats all for now, but I hope that 2009 will be a year where I can publish more useful stuff about what I learned in 2008. Yeah right! I just started up a company. Oh well! Heres to even longer hours :)

  2. Holbrook, It’s hard to say exactly what will happen in 2009 but the proliferation of social networks will continue but I see back to basics. There is a basic lack of a “why” throughout the many technological applications. Personal Narratives are flying around cyberspace, but are they interesting or just Noise?

    I guess we are in the early days of a new time and things will take a while to settle. Personally, I’m looking for something deeper, so I’m heading to the caves and the cave paintings to see what really made our ancestors tick: art, story, community and location are the stimuli I seek.

    At the end of the day we have to use this technology to do something useful for society.

    The corporate website is a dead genre!
