Well hallo there.
Your probably wondering and saying to yourself, “Another blog, again.”
Well, It’s true. This is yet another go into blogging, but this time, it’s a bit different.
Over the past 6 months or so, I’ve noticed my interest in technology, the web, and things of the like dropping off the charts, and to be honest, that’s a bit worrying.
I started using computers when I was two, they really are a part of me, they’re one of the first thing I come in contact with in the morning, besides my BlackBerry, my sheets, and a cup of coffee.
I realised what was causing this, before too much damage had been done, and I realised it was caused by trying to acomlish too much at once.
twenty seven media (a small design cooperative concept), this is three, chaos inspired, fused and many other projects were all things I was attempting to acomplish at the same time, as a result, the stress and pressure was preventing me from actually enjoying what I was doing, which had been the idea behind chaos inspired, my first true successful endeavour into blogging in mid-2008.
Based on what I found, I decided to change, I’ve dropped quite a few things, and some cool ideas will never become a reality as a result, but if I didn’t sacrifice somethings for other things, nothing would have ever come reality, so my decision was loose some, or loose all?
The Donald Kelly that wrote this post is one that is different from the one of 12 months ago, I’ve changed what I’m focused on, and what gets my time, from a whole list of things and titles, to a few, small, simple and effective ones.
Photographer, Mac user, Graphic Designer, BBSP (explanation comes later on this one.) and Generally cool person to be around.
Photography is something I’ve always been interested in for the longest time, Cameras have always fascinated me, and I’ve used this few months of down time to progress my skill set to enable me to create cooler, more interesting photos. So far, the results have been pretty amazing.
Mac User – I’ve been one since 2007, when I got my first white-polycarbonate MacBook with 10.4.6 pre-installed, Today I have three Macs and continue to use Macs, for creating, and relaxing, they go hand-in-hand with my photography and design interests, and allow me to focus on being creative, not prying a virus out of some registry files.
Graphic Designer – Second only to photography, another passion of mine is graphic design, from the simplest little thing in Photoshop to a multi-thousand layer concept with Illustrator and Photoshop in this mix, Graphic Design continues to hold my interest, and I have some cool things coming up.
BBSP (short for BlackBerry Support Professional) – Even though the iPhone tends to get all the attention, I’ve continued to use and support BlackBerry devices, I feel the provide a majority of the market competition Apple needs to continue to innovate and create new engaging devices in order to stay in-front of the competition. BlackBerry’s can be a bit tricky, but I’ve used them for nearly a year now, and can provide support to those whom need it, I do this (as I do most things.) free of charge for single end-users, but provide more involved, higher class paid support for large enterprise users.
Cool Person - Most people also think that, well, I’m generally a cool person to be around, true, I have my moments, but I am human. I’m focusing on making things more transparent, and letting people see and interact with me more, via for example posting my email address in public (donald@fused.org.uk) among many other ideas I’m working on.
The fact is, I’ve taken a look at what I’m doing and decided to focus on what I really enjoy, and to drop the rest. You’ll see the changes sooner than later, so just stay tuned. [:
Yep. It looks like Taylor Swift fans combined with the internet no-goodness-knoledge of 4Chan users have struck again.
