Bill Erickson
New Media Entrepreneur

Who am I?

I'm a designer, a photographer, a consultant, a college student, a skiier, a net native, a theatre fanboy, and an Australian (if living there for three years counts). Here's some articles about me.

I have a coworking space in Downtown Bryan called The Creative Space, where I'm working on Erickson Media Group, Activist Apparel, and a few other projects.

I'm also one of the founders of the BIL Conference, a free unconference run in conjunction with TED.

Find me on

billerickson.net - my tumblelog, an aggregation of all my online activity.

You can also find me on flickr, twitter, facebook, del.icio.us, LinkedIn, Natuba, Upcoming.org, and Netflix.

A blank site

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

I’m at BarCamp Houston today, and we’ll be announcing our newest web app - A blank site.
http://www.ablanksite.com
Basically, it is a multipage writeboard that exports clean html. It’s not ready yet, but should be in a few weeks. If you give us your email address on that page this weekend, you’ll get a free pro account [...]

Netflix is the future of TV

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

I’m a big Netflix fan. I’m also really busy, so I have a hard time keeping up with TV shows (even with a DVR). I just don’t have time to dedicate each week to a TV show. But I usually have a few hours each week free, so I love having a movie or two [...]

New design for Coursevote

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

I redesigned the marketing site for Coursevote, my facebook app. Check it out.

I can’t wait for a Google Phone

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

Am I the only one who hates phone calls? AT&T’s call quality is terrible - I can’t remember the last time I understood everything someone said. And there’s no way to look it up later like I can with email. For important conversations (like talks with clients), I don’t trust phones at all; it needs [...]

We’ve officially moved into our office, The Creative Space. It’s a collaborative working space for 372 Media, BuildingProcess.com, Erickson Media Group (me), and Cody Marx Bailey. We have 3 offices on the 5th floor of the Varisco Building in Downtown Bryan, and have plenty of room to expand. We feel that a lot of [...]

Redesign of Business Honors website

Friday, August 10th, 2007

Today we launched the new version of the Business Honors website: http://bizhonors.tamu.edu
What’s changed?

Improved information architecture - The previous version had a menu that was completely unorganized. Every time a new page was added to the site, a link was added to the main menu. I broke the menu up into targeted user groups, updated content [...]

Photos of Mays

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

I went around Mays today taking some photos. I even went up on the roof and spent about 45 minutes walking the entire length of the building looking for good shots (might not get another chance to go up there). Below are a few good ones.
