  Analyzing bookmark tags
I've been using the bookmarking tool Del.icio.us for a few years now, and today I dug through some of the tags I've been using. Some interesting patterns arise, especially in examining the language I use to describe things on the internet.

Here's my tag cloud:

Photobucket

Awesome- Anything I find online that could be described as "awesome" gets filed here. A few highlights:


NOTCOT at GLOW: EX-SE-08 Shih Chieh Huang from Jean Aw on Vimeo.

Another tag I use is buildme, which is used for filing away things that I want to build or incorporate into a project, or someone else's project that I want to crib from. Some examples:



Projectstuff has links to raw materials and suppliers for the more rare or esoteric items that I might want to use some day.



Then I have a Wishlist, which I refer to around my birthday and Christmas when people ask me what I want. It's mostly books, dvds and t-shirts, with the occasional odd electronic item.



What does it all mean? I guess it's interesting to see all of my interest laid out in such a specific way. There are a few personal or social items in there, but the majority of the bookmarks pertain to my art/music interests and ideas. It makes me want to somehow gather them all into a digital sketchbook of sorts, then publish it into some kind of coffee table book, just for me.

My work investigates how vibrating waves of energy and human consciousness interact. I utilize traditional musical instruments, handbuilt analog electronics, video processes, digital synthesis, and repurposed objects to build harmonic wave patterns. These patterns are projected into physical space, creating a unique and temporary audiophysical experience.
