This site began as a virtual portfolio, but in its making I have found that I actually enjoy blogging about social media. In my time at Lutheran Hour Ministries, I developed a knack for explaining social networks to people who were unfamiliar with them. I became very good at fleshing out metaphors for social media, such as comparing Facebook to a church bulletin board with a pad of sticky notes and a pen next to it. It turns out that I genuinely enjoy making theses comparisons, as seen in entries such as:

The other general topic of my blog is a breakdown of complex social media processes, neatly repackaging them into something very simple.
