this semester is catching up with me
finally enrolled today; apparently i’m taking 16 hours
some of which are an internship
all of which equal the best semester yet
(contemporary astronomy !!!!)
and then 12 hours a week being a jobber / interner part 1 of 2
which gets better and better
but also
i’m taking on more and more responsibility
one or two meetings for that a week
freelancing jobs
personal projects
portfolio preparing, studio shooting
and it’s time to think about what is this summer
for some reason
and what is this year
for all reasons
anyway, no complaining here
just feeling overwhelmed
but psyched is the new jaded
east and west and all over the globe
as long as i remember to sleep
i’m afraid to do my grad check
but it doesn’t really matter;
either way, i’m telling the world i graduated, and leveling up / on

Scale makes things interesting and is a useful form of context. Understanding it can yield great results, even for the layman. Right now, there are more people harvesting fake corn on Facebook than there are total users of Twitter. Hearing that, I think to myself “My god, that’s a lot of people looking for a temporary distraction.”
What if we took all those people playing Farmville and every 10 to 20 minutes, gave them an optional reCAPTCHA to solve to help digitize books? That’s just a strawman idea that isn’t necessarily well thought out, but the idea is this: you get there by understanding scale.
i’m using reCAPTCHA on my blog now! even if i only add a few words a month… :D
talk about relative scale.
