It’s the new year and the best day to start anything. In my search for a hobby off the computer, I compromised and found a semi-off-the-computer challenge. Jen led me to the “Make Something Cool Every Day” concept. It’s a great motivation to consistently produce work while strengthening creativity. The best example I’ve seen yet is Brock Davis’s portfolio on Behance. Surely, I don’t expect to think up ideas as original as his, but I plan to use this as a stimulus to return to photography, print, and any other physical mediums I’ve neglected over the years.

The daily creations will reside on destroyeveryday.com as a Tumblr blog. The service provides a dozen different ways to post content, so “I didn’t have access to a computer” won’t be an excuse for missing a day—believe it or not, you can post content via a 1-800 number. Here’s to the new year and the beginning of a new venture.

  1. Seems we were thinking the same thing. I’m excited to see what you do with this!

  2. I LOVE Tumblr – just started using it on my blog after the other one crashed. Good for you finding something fun to do offline – I’ll be sure to follow your updates!

    Are you going to add comments over there? Disqus comes in really handy. ;)

  3. good resolution :)
    will be there a destroytwitter 2.0 release soon?

    happy new year !

  4. @AnotherGuy — I signed up with Disqus and gave it a shot, but it’s way over the top for what I’d want, so I’m going to keep it simple with likes.

    @marky — You must have missed this post: http://destroytoday.com/blog/2009/12/taking-a-break-from-destroytwitter/

  5. @Jonnie – Good call. I like that idea, especially considering that comments do take up a lot of time, and your whole goal here is to find something to do away from the comp.

  6. It’s great to see that you’ve created a MSCED on 010110 as well, brother. Nichola and I have both started our creative ventures.
