Transparent and Available

I am conducting an experiment to see if I can become accessible without going crazy or getting abused. I have added Twitter to my list of websites where I can communicate with my adoring public. So here's the list.

from this site, you can email me, see what I'm up to- overall its pretty generic and I have all these grandiose schemes to one day actually make it functional.

I'm pretty sure you know about this one

On this site its convenient for me to uplad photos because it works directly with my winmo phone. I'm having trouble getting the calendar to sync with any of my other calendars

www.facebook.com/johntindale
yet another social network

This is my profile on my company's website

www.twitter.com/johntindale
I added text messaging to the updates on twitter, and I'm going to see how often I can keep it updated

This is my xbox gamer site. I'm not a huge gamer, but I haven't added any friends on there either yet.

My goal is to get my "web presence" as integrated as possible, so I'm going to see what gadgets and feeds that I can use as plug-ins on different sites, to make it as seamless as possible.
