I was in the Dayton Metro Library’s music area late 2001/early 2002, and I heard this jazzy album that sounded like music from Sting.  Asking the librarian, I learned it was Sting’s latest album, “All This Time,” which was recorded during a live concert at Sting’s home in Tuscany, Italy, the evening of September 11, 2001. I checked out the CD and enjoyed it immensely.

I’ve been going through a number of music DVDs in my Netflix queue, from U2: Pop Mart: Live from Mexico City, Cheap Trick‘s From Tokyo to You, Michael Jackson‘s This Is It, and others.  I saw this one from Sting come up as a suggested one.  Recalling what I’d heard about the story from listening to the CD many years ago, I had it shipped to me, and I recently watched it.

Movie Review – Sting: All This Time

Sting assembled his band together at his home, along with the film crew, and others, two weeks before the concert was to occur. He and the band re-invented the songs that many fans are familiar with.

One of many things that struck me is something that Dominic Miller, Sting’s guitarist said:

“Pressure is like a drug.”

The band was under pressure to get all the songs together – some of them for the very first time – in under 2 weeks.  That got me thinking about the pressure I’ve often felt at work. Re-thinking, mainly – about how I can use pressure to bring out my best.

I enjoy watching the Special Features of DVDs before the feature presentation, because I’m interested in getting the back story.  ”All This Time” contains documentary as well as music from the concert.

I first went to the scene in the documentary entitled “September 11, 2001″.  It was moving to see the band’s reactions to the events that took place. After having a wonderful, celebratory dress rehearsal the night before, the terrorist attacks took the wind out of them, as it did for all of us.  Yet the band decided that they needed to do the concert anyway. Not the same concert they had planned, but one that resonated well with those in attendance and those of us who watch it.

The DVD menus are set up so that, if you want to just watch the documentary, you can do that. If you want to just watch the concert, you can do that.  If you want to see the set list for the concert – the specific songs that Sting and his band played at the concert – well, you can do that, too. Playthe entire program, though, get treated to the documentary of the events leading up to and including the concert.

In January 2002 I started my first blog. I’d read about Blogger for a few years and thought it was time to look deeper and see what I could do with it. I’ve been an introspective person for much of my life, so when it came time to come up with the title, I called it something that would signify the purpose for which it was created. I’d been journaling since I was in high school, and I saw blogging as an opportunity to do that. I named the blog “Journey Inside My Mind”.  It was a scary title. Even now, it still scares me a bit. What will I find there? What will others find there?

Even so it was fun. I remember the enjoyment I got out of figuring out how to get certain things done with the tool. I learned how to change my template, add features, and even had fun spilling my guts and letting the creative juices flow. I recall impromptu posts where I’d create a poem from scratch.

In 2005 I learned about audio blogging and started listening to podcasts. I learned how to collect podcasts in a single location to listen to as an alternative to the radio, customized for my personal listening experience. Ever since I was a kid, I thought I’d love to be a DJ. I also learned how to create audio blog posts and eventually spent many hours learning how to create my first podcast episode.

Five years ago this month, I released the first episode of the Journey Inside My Mind podcast. I recall many nights of sleep those first months, in which I found myself thoroughly enjoying the creative process of putting together an online audio program that others might listen to. It was a natural outgrowth to experiments I’d had with cassette tapes back in high school.

Not long after, I settled into a routine, a weekly schedule, and produced the show. It was fun, experimental, and I felt a lot of freedom.

Over time, I learned more about what other bloggers and podcasters were doing, and I imitated and drew upon that knowledge. I refined my production process, I did some behind the scenes work to improve SEO. I refined the program to work toward a standard format.

But eventually I began to feel more constrained, and producing the podcast became more of a chore. I knew I’d need to allot a certain block of time to get it done, and sometimes I began to wonder why I would do it at all. I didn’t have a large audience, and I wasn’t getting a lot of feedback. Even though I often felt like I was doing it more for other people than for myself.  So I lost interest, and last December, I put the show on an indefinite hiatus so that I could focus on other things that I felt had more importance.

Seven months later, I’ve rekindled that enjoyment for producing that podcast again. Last night I found myself doing more experiments with Audacity, just like I’d done five years ago.  And I later recorded the first episode in the next stage of the Journey Inside My Mind podcast.

The point of all of this? Maybe you’re not into podcasting, but Twitter or Facebook or some other tool has gotten boring to you.  Maybe you’ve stopped using it. Maybe there’s a blog that has been collecting dust in the corner of the internet.  What new life can you breathe into it?

Make the tools fun again. Retool and rethink. Change things up. Make your own game. Make them useful to you. Let your passion show.

I don’t know how long this stage of the Journey Inside My Mind podcast will last. I just know it’s fun again.

Mitch Joel has an intriguing post entitled “The Next Big Thing Online Could Well Be Anonymity“. One of many things that stood out for me is this statement:

With all of this personal information that we’re publishing online, people still have a need/want to speak anonymously.

Margo Rose recently asked me for what thoughts I had on future trends in social media. I’d already sent my reply to her email, but I could have easily pointed her to Mitch’s post if I’d read it beforehand.

More Now that we’re all connected and have the ability to share as much about ourselves and the world around us, should we? Already many, including me, have taken steps to reclaim some of that privacy.

What do you think?
