#Randombling: That Nerdy Chick
Randombling: A 5 minute long unedited random stream of consciousness produced by a nerd for nerds.

This time right now - in the social space is utter madness. Literally ... in the best and worst ways possible. You're executing while writing the manual ... troubleshooting while promoting ... its just completely batshit.
I'm an artist, getting my nerd on is my art. Life to me is rhythm and movement. I feel and express; I'm so weird I love it. I own that. I however recognize in this state of consciousness that I am WAYYYYYYYYYY too right brained. Everyone in the digital space is all about money, and jumping from one thing to the next blah blah blah. Don't get me wrong, mama knows how to make bank ... but what does it all mean at the end of the day? Money comes, and money goes ... you can't take it with you, so what does it mean?
I love love love love LOVE showing my friends how to use the technology that I use to enhance their life. Make things easier ... just the overall greater good aspect of it all is far more appealing. People love you FOREEVVEERRRRR if you can just show them one little thing that means a whole lot to them. I guess I'm like a humanitarian nerdy hippie. I don't know ... the packaging of this all is madness. I get very overwhelmed, and conferences in general only magnify that fact. I love love love it, dont get me wrong, but just so many people pitch me the lamest shit, that I have no interest in. I respect everyone, I'll hear them out - and appreciate them reaching out ... but if you don't believe in what you're selling why should I? And then you get the people that come up to you and give you all the ideas about what you should and shouldn't be doing. Its maddening ... and the last few days being here, I've just hit COMPLETE overload. I am making a promise to myself to chill in this space and focus on my breathing for the next half hour. Dude, I can barely complete a sentence my words are just blah blah blah blah blah and this does that plus this and yada yada yada ... yeah, mama no like.
I'm having fun ... CES in general has been a blast, but we just all run ourselves so ragged. Not kosher for passover ... for reals.
So, if I met with you, or you saw my sign ... and wanna know more of what we're about here are some easy links.

I document everything. I'm a lifecaster. There is no filter, its just real, and honest ... all the time.

I apologize in advance if this sounds passive ... but I'm too close to all of this to really understand it. Lame, but very true. I built this site with a lot of passion, and my bare hands. It's been a crazy crazy crazy year ... just don't ask me to explain it to you or I'll make your head hurt.
