How do you do it?

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

How do people manage to do everything they want to do? I suspect the answer is, “Well, they don’t,” but I still feel like I’m way behind the curve.

My activities

  • Limedaring (writing): Yes, here. I need to write more, yes? And I actually need to write about design? I have lots of ideas for posts (CSS formatting! I’m particular about my formatting and no one else does it like me) but… they just don’t get written.
  • Limedaring (design): Haaa… yea, this place is still broken. I’ll get excited about fixing something (just got analytics working last week, thanks Mint!) — I’ll work on it for a few hours and then forget about doing everything else. Bah!
  • Veggieblog: Should I just start calling it that? I still don’t have a name, I still don’t have a design finished, and I have three posts in waiting.
  • Listonomics: I have several drafts but none are completed. Grump.
  • Giving 2.0: I have a post about my experiences with Team in Training here, but it’s still in draft form. Grump x2.
  • Yelp: I made Yelp elite… and then the excitement was over. It doesn’t help that I’m low on money so I’m visiting new places less often, but even when I do check out a new coffee shop or deli, I don’t feel as enthused to write a review.
  • Poker Soup The design draft is finished but I haven’t quite started coding. The coding should be the easy part, too.
  • Team In Training: Hey, charity! I managed to raise $2,500 and I’m running a half-marathon (!!!) in a week. This has killed a lot of my time over the last three weeks - running 3-5 miles every other day, long runs every weekend. It’ll all be over on Sunday.
  • Warhammer Online: Erm… look away, nothing to see here. I’m not playing an endless MMORPG really. >_<

Yea, the video-gaming should go first but it’s been great stress relief (except when my laptop kernel-panicks, but that’s another issues). And there are the misc. activities that I like to do that aren’t listed, like cooking, gardening, hiking, etc.

Waaagh, when will I be free? I guess until I don’t have a day job (Ha!) I’ll have to keep trucking along.

Yelp Elite and Me

I love visiting new places, and I love new restaurants most of all. Back in college, a friend of mine and I decided to go to a new lunch place every week since there were so many awesome places in San Luis Obispo. I also loved to discover new, amazing places that I could recommend to all my friends.

Enter Yelp:

Yelp is the fun and easy way to find, review and talk about what’s great (and not so great) in your world. You already know that asking friends is the best way to find restaurants, dentists, hairstylists, and anything local. Yelp makes it fast and easy by collecting and organizing your friends’ recommendations in one convenient place.

Perfect.

There is exists one more thing, an extra “level” in Yelp. “The Yelp Elite Squad is our way of recognizing some of our most active and influential members, both on and off the site. ” I had the opportunity to meet a lot of awesome people when I joined Team Yelp for the Livestrong 5k in San Jose. I was encouraged to post as many reviews I could and garner as many “reviews” of my reviews so I could achieve Elite.

As the picture above shows, I hit elite finally. Technically it isn’t a big deal; I’m invited to events around the Bay Area for free, where I get free food and drink and hang out with a bunch of people. But it’s a fun feather in my cap.

If there is anyone else on Yelp, my URL is vadavia.yelp.com — I hope to see more web enthusiasts join up and talk about their favorite places in the Bay.

Veggieblog (?)

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

Due to the constant distraction of gardening, cooking, and all other fun “domestic” type activities, I decided to start an additional blog solely for those pursuits. While I don’t wish that blog to be as serious as this (design-related) blog, hopefully I will become a better writer with more practice.

Without further ado… What I’d Rather Be Doing.

Yes, the design is already further along than the design for this site. And the title is still in contention… I want something snarky as well as SEO-friendly and have failed at both.
