GigaOM Network Redesign
My newest gig is working for the wonderful GigaOM blog network. My first task was to redesign the corporate website- it was a bit outdated, and needed a refresh. So, since I haven't posted anything new in awhile, I figured I'd share this.
What My Resume Says
Microsoft recently had a sweepstakes, where they gave away resume consultations. I had just finished working on mine, so I figured it can't hurt to enter. I did, and I won (as did a lot of other people- they must have given away a ton).
So, here's both my review of their giveaway, and their review of my resume.
Imagine RIT
Today was RIT's second annual Imagine RIT festival- a massive event displaying cool stuff people across campus are doing. I had an exhibit (which I'll post about later), however there were a ton of much cooler things going on.
So, here's my top five things I wish I had come up with or done.
The Casualties of Efficiency
I have the same routine every morning. I get up, pour myself a cup of coffee, and sit down in front of my computer. By the time my mug is empty again, I know what's going on with a few hundred of my closest friends.
Social “utilities” are changing the way we communicate. No longer do we have to talk to each other; we now talk at each other. We narcissistically broadcast what we're reading, feeling, thinking and doing to a world that didn't necessarily ask. It works better this way- we only have to say something once, and everyone we know can read and comment on it.
RIT Intersect Proposal
Currently, my pet project is The RIT Intersect- a way for browsing and finding new and interesting RIT classes. I have written a proposal for the application for a class I'm currently taking, Social Networks in Action. This proposal is going to change almost weekly, however I figured it would be a good way to "announce" my current project.
The Current Solution
Site History
I recently finished my redesign of gkoberger.net, but I didn't want to completely lose old versions of the site. So, I figured I'd post a few old versions, just so they weren't lost forever. Hopefully this layout lasts a bit longer than the previous ones- it took me 6 months (on and off, of course), so it better last a while.
The Original Version
Site Redesign
After being under development for way too long (I was still living in California when I started it), welcome to the newest version of my site, gkoberger.net! It comes with new branding, layout, and content.
