Project EIN(STEIN)

It's been a long day. Experiments in Nerdery (EIN) is going well. I was afraid my early enthusiasm for my new found infatuation of all things cyber related would wain after the first initial wave, but not so far. In fact, my head is spinning from all the "networking" I've done today. I've tried all day (in vain) to display my Twitter feed on this blog, linked to this blog from my Twitter page, uploaded some of my favorite photos to Flickr, and "updated my profile" on everything except for my Classmates.com page. And that's just the beginning; I've researched Digg, Tumblr and every other web community out there containing the word "share" in the About Us section. If I'm asked to describe myself, list my favorite books, authors, movies or music one more time today, I swear I'm going to cyber hang myself.
In fact, this little experiment of mine is starting to take over a little bit. I started tweeting from my cell phone a week ago and am toying with the idea of starting to do blog updates from my phone. I feel like I'm getting sucked deeper into all these Internet communities the more I learn about them. My daily activities are beginning to be shaped by what will look the wittiest (or should I say Twittiest? Did I just coin a new word here? Man, I hope I get credit for this...) or most interesting on Twitter.
So all in all, Experiments in Nerdery (EIN) is moving forward. Which, after all, was the point this whole time. To see what happens. And what is happening is I'm finding myself tunneling deeper and deeper down this peculiar rabbit hole of interactive, networking, and linked together (Crap! That reminds me my LinkedIn profile is woefully out of date...) websites. Whereas a month ago the majority of my Internet time was monopolized by checking email, occasionally skimming Yahoo News, and basically wasting time, I am now spending a disproportionate amount of time, it seems, promoting myself to a group of strangers for a purpose I don't yet fully comprehend. In fact, I've spent so much time over the last two days Tweeting, myspacing, FaceBooking, Flickr-ing, and blogging that I feel I must rename Experiments in Nerdery (EIN). From this point on, Experiments in Nerdery (EIN) will be known as Project EIN(STEIN). As in Experiments in Nerdery (Slowly Taking over Everything INternet).

This is...

Project EIN(STEIN)!
