more and more ideas, and more ideas

As the web so often does, every step I take along with the First Followers opens me up to new ideas, new music, new tools I can use and most importantly, new people. Andrew Dubbers 30 days of Ideas has inspired Andrew Wicklander to learn new coding skills, and Deb Walsh started a Facebook page just for 30 day projects. I've decided to do 30 days of gardening, I really hope my lawn turns out acceptably .
Still looking forward to trying out the "Numberless Calendar", i still want shower pebbles, personalized radio, online mixtapes. All this has led me to discover some new tools such as Bandcamp which is the coolest way I've seen yet to present and sell independent music.

DubDate: free ideas up to 20!!

Here we are at the end of week 3 of "30 days of ideas". Mr. Dubber has been thinking alot lately! My favorite new idea is of a mixtape website; a virtual mixtape if you can picture that. Seems very possible to me, but I'm not sure how many people would use it. Dubber imagines the romanticism involved in creating a mix, on cassette, for just one person. The personal mixtape weblink would be available to just one person, and the songs arranged in two 30 or 45 minute blocks, depending on your cassette preference, so as not to allow the songs to be played out of context with the adjacent songs. As a former serial mixtapist, I see the appeal. If it would involve magazine photo collage cover art as well, I think it could be a huge success.
Wicklander is well along with creating a sweet app for the "Numberless calendar", a tool for handling 30 day projects. I am certain it will be fascinating when it's complete. I'm looking forward to using it.

Albuquerque, then home tomorrow...

Ah, New Mexico...what can I say? You have left me more impressed than I ever expected. Land of Enchantment indeed! We ate well, we saw the art, we walked the streets, drove through the mountains and we climbed your volcanic mounds!! Thanks NM, and everyone who made our stay here memorable.

up in the mountains!

drove straight up in the air to get there... cold snowy and beautiful!
