FIRST Open a blog, write an introduction, tag it ds106 and aggregate it to the DS106 primary website, where we have our own "room." That is this post.
SECOND Do a couple of Daily Creates on the The Daily Create website.

So this is me getting into the swing of things on a new Tumblr blog. My idea is this will be a more "chatty," everything that I feel like blogging type blog.
Mind on Fire.us, when resuscitated, will be for digital stories
Mind on Fire.net is my photography portfolio
Mysterious Night Vision Field Journal is the blog I keep with my sister Cheryl R. Long on "memories, dreams, reflections"
Eating Eugene is my long neglected food blog
The Art Retreat at Mosswood Hollow is also co-hosted with my sister Cheryl R. Long and is the blog for our annual August art retreat in Duvall, WA
That's it for now, but next I want to talk about starting film school!
