Inksmith

November 20, 2005

While admit­tedly it has been all quiet here on the east­ern front, there have been a few things that I’ve been eager to share. One of which is the pend­ing birth of my son, Quinn, who con­tin­ues to let us know he’s still active by kick­ing and rolling around in the womb. There are times where he’s silent and motion­less, which was never the case with my daugh­ter Zoe, who to this day strug­gles to go to bed due to her unremit­ting lev­els of energy.

There’s also a mild buzz about Inksmith.org, a project I’ve decided to par­tic­i­pate in with sev­eral cre­ative types of whom I’m hon­ored to be asso­ci­ated with — every one of them so far. There is noth­ing more hum­bling to a per­son when you rec­og­nize the virtues of what you’re involved with, be it project or relationship-related.

In this case, there’s a solid, con­scious rea­son­ing behind the con­cept and deploy­ment of Ink­smith which sim­ply amazes me. Even though it’s dif­fi­cult to put into words because the scope of it is immense, I can only describe it as being a more human aspect to blog­ging and web devel­op­ment, stray­ing away from what has, in some cases, become so anony­mous in nature.

Don’t for­get my lit­tle old post clar­i­fy­ing some of the back­ground and aims for Inksmith:)

Yan­nick: Yeah, should be excit­ing, con­sid­er­ing even I’m not 100% knowl­edgable of the scope of this project.

If Else: Of course, sorry about that Phu. I think I’ve for­got­ten about you in the past, right? I think it’s become tra­di­tion or some­thing — I’ll add that info, thanks!

Hehe Erik, well I am sure as things progress, more will come to light.

If Else: Nice article.

You haven’t answered the real ques­tion though … what are you try­ing to cover up on your chin? ;)

I still need a moody photo …

Looks like such a lovely geeky yet cool crowd. I’d have gladly tagged along :)

Well, being as how not much infor­ma­tion is being leaked in regards to the project, you guys have cer­tainly built an antic­i­pa­tion around it. I’m very much look­ing for­ward to the launch and con­grats on being one of the cho­sen to par­tic­i­pate in said group.

What­ever it is. If it’s as you say, I wel­come it.
