Over this summer, the focus of this blog will be changing as I develop a strategy for using these new media tools to share my thoughts and related research as a UBC PhD student. I also figuring out how I can best keep my committee informed through new media.
What may be best then is to create another blog/tumblr to use exclusively for my photography and new media responsibilities. I’m sorting out the best way to do this.
Tonight I joined the Society for Geek Advancement, which was created by Shira Lazar.
THE SOCIETY FOR GEEK ADVANCEMENT was founded upon the principles that we should all embrace our inner and outer geek and have fun while doing it. As individuals who love learning, innovating and believe in possibility as well as change, the second step of responsibility is to “be the geek that keeps on giving”. As a member of SGA, we work together as a global community to provide the tools and help others realize their true potential too!
As someone that is constantly using his Blackberry to update twitter, check Facebook, and read Google News, I am excited that this society now exists.
What is even cooler is that the society is connected with Room to Read, a great charity created by former Microsoft exec, John Wood, which partners with local communities in developing countries to build libraries, construct schools, and create local language children’s literature.
So get out there and tell others about the Society for Geek Advancement.
Yes, I am a Geek (and totally love it)!
