It is all about things coming together at the right time.
I think that is happening. Can’t explain why… but I can tell you I am enjoying it.
For the longest time, I have followed the Philadelphia interactive/new media/web/social media scene, but was never excited about it. Of course, I was busy teaching at UArts, doing my own interactive work, renovating houses, starting a civic association and then raising little kids.
Something about me, though, I love Philadelphia, and I have no intention of leaving anytime soon. I am not really a big bandwagon guy. I prefer to build something than join on after all the hard work is done.
So, I will continue to pick up the shovel and help dig.
There are a lot more seedlings to get in the ground.
Looking forward to seeing them grow into trees.

18|Jul|2007 2Where’s my pick axe? Actually, this is a great point. We can’t give up on this and we can not allow this to lose momentum (which it will).
One thing to keep in mind over the next several months, years, and into the future is that there will be lulls in activity, there will be lower social periods (especially during Winter months), and focus by all parties will shift from time-to-time. But as long as we all (and mostly those of you that are native to Philly) keep our minds fixed on the end result, we’ll get there.

18|Jul|2007 4Hey, I love that City Paper story. I hadn’t seen that before! I’m equally excited at watering the trees we all planted last week.
