sycamore street press: My Blog Turns 2!


Several years ago, my grandparents called me to ask if I'd look something up on the internet for them. As my grandfather started to spell out the url for me, "It's w, w, w, dot...", he was interrupted by my grandmother. After a muffled conversation between the two of them, my grandfather got back on the phone and said, "Your grandmother tells me that there are only two w's in the address. Just w, w, dot..."


I think I take after my grandparents in not being super internet/computer savvy. In fact, they are probably ahead of me in many respects. They joined Facebook a couple of years before I did. Yes... years.


Two years ago, the idea of starting a blog intimidated me. But, I had just moved to the other side of the country and figured it would be a good way to keep in touch with old friends and "meet" new people. It's also helped me to keep track of ideas, people, and places that inspire me, spread the word about Sycamore Street Press, keep a journal, have a creative outlet, and, of course, procrastinate other work.

Thank you everyone for your comments and interest over the past couple of years! I've really enjoyed our blogging interactions, and I hope it continues for a long time.

I put together a link list to some of my favorite entries:
+ My first entry ever. (my MFA show)
+ Yé Yé Sound and Style: Francoise Hardy
+ The Sycamore Q+A with Bert Teunissen
+ The NSS Report Part 1: The Booth
+ All About Hatch Show Print
+ New York, part 1
+ I Could Get Back Into This
+ Losing Touch
+ The Man I Call Morfar
+ Rooftop Gardens are My Favorite
+ The Letterpress Process

p.s. Aren't these clouds gorgeous! I just snapped these with my little point + shoot through the car window. No Photoshop editing either. The clouds were so stunning, it was impossible to take a bad shot.

Happy blog birthday. :) As for Facebook, I consider myself pretty good with technology, yet I always get frustrated and overwhelmed by Facebook. Is it hard to use, or is it just me? So I think you and your grandparents are saavy indeed if you can navigate through Facebook. Double-saavy if on Twitter!

Thanks everyone!
Jenn- I have a hard time on Facebook sometimes, too. What is the difference between "live feed" and "news feed" for example? In comparison, Twitter is easy.
