Introducing my latest distraction project:
It’s a Squidoo lens. If that’s gibberish to you, a lens is the love child of a blog and a portal. My lens is more or less this blog in distilled form. There’s a feed of the latest SRC posts, some writing links I like, gear I use, a blogroll, and other stuff that might be useful.
Squidoo is a co-op that hosts lenses, and the web application that you build them with. You can sign up and create as many as you want, on any topic you want to share knowledge about. Like the site says, everyone’s an expert on something.
The lens is a toolbox of knowledge and resources. It will by no means replace this blog. The way I see it, the lens should drive visitors to the blog, and the blog should drive information to the lens. It’s all very symbiotic.
Lenses are ranked by popularity. Watching my LensRank has become a daily addiction. Right now, I’m #168. Help me out by taking a look, and please leave any feedback here as comments.

December 21st, 2005 at 6:48 pmWell, let me first say that I dig the Squidoo thing. I’m sure my opinion is somewhat compromised by the fact that you have listed me under writing blogs (thank you! thank you! thank you! this must mean i am a writer!) — but I dig it nonetheless. I also love some of those links under gear. I’m a techie by sheer proximity to all the programmers I work with and I’ve never heard of some of these tools. Thanks for the heads up.
I must also say that I admire you for juggling so many things…you seem to do it very well. I think the word I’m looking for is less akin to admiration…closer to envy.
