- AFK, Going to PAXToday
-
I don’t go to many conferences. In fact, the only one I’ve been to (since at least the Dallas Fantasy Fest back in the early ‘90s) was SXSW Interactive early this year. However, I’ve been looking forward to PAX (or Penny Arcade Expo) for months now. I bought my pass and plane tickets and it’s finally right around the corner!I’m really excited. I’m not sure if I am going to do a lot of blogging, though. I don’t plan to bring a laptop to the conference. However, I am going to bring my trusty Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5 with the Eye-Fi Explore SD card and spare battery. So hopefully you will be seeing a bunch of pictures from the expo after I get back to the hotel room!
Anyway, I hope I will meet a few of you while I am there! There is a picture of me on the contributors page in case you are

I’ve been on a hiatus from blogging. Hopefully, loyal readers of Scribkin didn’t miss me too much! The first week after my last post, I tried to stay away from all the tools I have been using to keep up with social media stuff. Basically, what I ended up doing is checking my email a lot and going to web sites that update frequently, like news.com, CNN and Engadget.
The second week, I let myself settle back in to my FriendFeed addiction and ease back in to Greader. I will admit that my new iPhone has been a constant source of distraction during this time as well. First I went crazy downloading free applications from the iTunes store, and then I stumbled across some really excellent games!
Anyway, I did manage to work on something that had been nagging at me for a while. One day a month or so ago, I asked FriendFeed to re-arrange a list of design styles (used in architecture and interior design) from most favorite to least, based on the words themselves. This is what I asked:

I need to take a week to disconnect. I’m going to be pretty quiet here and in my social media channels such as FriendFeed. However, I did accept the offer to be on ReadBurner Weekly Live! this Wednesday so I am definitely going to be there for that!
Hope you all (or as we say in Texas, ya’ll) have a great week!

I had a lot of trouble coming up with a short, catchy title for this article, and I’m still not sure if I got it just right. But the idea, which dawned on me a few days ago and is starting to nag at me, is not hard to grasp:I do my best writing when I’m not in the middle of information overload.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I love information overload. I have mild ADD so diving in to a vast cyclone of links, comments, entries and pictures is like taking a hot bath. It is amazing and wonderful.
Me the Writer
However, while I am there, my short term memory shuts down and my mid-term memory is impaired. I know this about myself. It happens whenever there are a lot of bright, shiny distracting things in my environment. Now, if I was a stockbroker, this wouldn’t be a problem. But as a writer, it is pretty devastating to my ability to write anything cohesive.
I’ve been reflecting on my post quality from the point where I started my blog, 4 or so months ago. At first, quality went up, as I got more comfortable with my writing and I came up with new ideas and new su
