Dylan Wilbanks
- Hi, I'm Dylan.
- And let's the links you're probably looking for out of the way.
- blog
- Twitter
- Flickr
- Portfolio
- Oh, and this is the 2016 version of this outline. Here are some previous versions: 2012, 2009
- And welcome to the outline home page.
-
- I've been working with the web professionally for twelve years.
- At least I think I'm professional.
- I'm paid.
- And I do web stuff.
- And it's my main job duty.
- Whether my work is professional is another discussion entirely.
- And you can have it offline, with me.
- Preferably, though, without me. Because I'm a sensitive type who apologizes for finding a font tag in a ten year old page that's not even public anymore.
- I used to work at the University of Washington School of Public Health.
- The one in Seattle.
- Not the one in St. Louis.
- Or George Washington University
- Or Washington High School.
- And at Apptio.
- Which you've never heard of.
- It's enterprise cloud service costing.
- And they're public! Buy stock!
- Well, buy it so my stock will be worth more.
- And this is my website.
- Not much here, is there?
- Yeah, there's a story behind it.
- I'm been working on moving my site into one centralized place.
- Six years
- Two webhosts
- Nothing done
- But This Was Going To Be The Year. Really.
- Third straight year of this would be the year.
- Seriously. This year.
- Then I got busy
- Work.
- Work.
- Work.
- Work.
- Work.
- Work.
- Work.
- And then when I got home, my routine went something like
- Stare at computer
- Stare at wall
- Find wall more stimulating
- Sleep
- Wake up and back to work, work, work, work....
- So, it never really got done.
- And let's be serious, it probably never will get done.
- Not until I break down and outsource it.
- And I won't, because This Will Be The Year and I Have Too Much Pride In My Work.
- You're probably reading this because you read my business card
- Nice, isn't it?
- It cost me serious money. So please like them.
- Or you saw me at SXSW
- Where I did a CORE CONVERSATION on the web and higher ed
- and said one unkind thing about faculty
- and all the faculty in the room just about killed me
- which I shrugged off until I had dinner with a SXSW worker who said, "Oh, I HEARD ABOUT YOUR TALK"
- Because news travels fast in Austin, apparently.
- And just possibly you met me at An Event Apart Seattle
- One of the three times I went in Seattle (2007, 2009, 2010)
- Never underestimate the value of sleeping in your own bed with conferences
- Or you saw me speak at Webvisions or HighEdWeb or BarCamp Seattle
- Have slide deck, will travel
- Tho, again, never underestimate your own bed and all that
- If you need to get a hold of me, I'm on Twitter: dylanw
- Really.
- I'm kind of addicted to it.
- Which is strange considering I thought Twitter was the stupidest idea ever at SXSW 07.
- And I have a blog
- I'm getting content there, don't worry, eventually, when I finally get time
- Sorry it's so spare, excuse the dust, I promise it's asbestos-free
- And there are a few other ways to contact me
- Flickr
- Facebook
- FriendFeed Whatever happened to that?
- Pinboard
- And hopefully a REAL site will rise here soon
- But don't bet on it
- No one has ever gone bankrupt betting against me
