Just Tripping Along The Freakazoid

ok yes I am still bad for updating - currently in AZ on 3 week vacation so I am all off on my routine, which means the transmedia resources is not being updated, my writing is not been worked on, and so on on the plus side - enjoying the vacation and getting lots of ideas for when back did add a few items to www.transmediaresources.com and also working on presentation for transmedia for July 17th conference - hooray plus there are a few projects peeps should check out Western X (awesome show that is coming) www.westernxtheshow.com/ and twitter.com/WesternXTheShow 3Way TV (great webseries and more may be coming) http://www.3waytv.tv/ and http://twitter.com/3WayTV Socks Inc. New ARG/transmedia/what the bleep is this project coming soon - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jimbabb/socks-inc-an-alternate-reality-game and http://twitter.com/Socks_Inc oh and today is social Media day - and started a facebook group for transmedia resources

tumbled across this article - techcrunch.com/2010/06/07/stickybits-pepsi/ What hit me was the line from the article "The next person to scan that barcode sees your message and can leave their own. So objects with no IP addresses, like a case of cheese at a farmer’s market in Boulder, Colorado or a Twix bar in Kenya can unlock their own stories." Of course use the word story and mix in the social nature of Stickybits and well... Is this a new form of geocaching? You can have a stickybit barcode on your hidden cache and when people find it, well, the story goes from there... and yes the transmedia storytelling possibilities pop up in my head too. AAAGGGGG so much stuff, so much to do, so little time to play
