A Personal Portfolio

So in my last post I talked about my new project idea to start working on a programming portfolio.  Well the site is going to be a social time tracking application called Chronism.  I’ve gone ahead and bought the domain, and I’m starting to work on some of the basic branding like this fancy logo, and a simple site design.  The reaon I’m not jumping into the coding first is that I’ve got a few days left at my summer internship, and quite frankly I need a diversion that is not Java.  Also, design work is definitely something I could use some practice on.

What I want the point of the application to be, is to encourage users to take ownership of what they are spending their time on, and in doing so, focusing more of their energy on creative pursuit.  The complaints I here about Twitter of the Facebook news feed, is that people generally do not care what you are doing most of the time, but I think most of the people you know will have an interest in what you are working on… what you are making.  To that end, I think a major feature of the site, behind time tracking, should be tie-ins to best of breed services like Flikr, Viemo, and Deviant Art as well as an open api to easily integrate with other services.

If your a student in the Atlanta area and your interested in working on the project, I’d love to take on partners interested in figuring out how to pull a web application together.  Stay tuned for more information about the progress of the site.
