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.

We got a virus or something about a month ago, which had been getting progressively worse. It got to the point where I’d get [...]

More changes to billerickson.net

Friday, January 4th, 2008

About two months ago I switched from Wordpress to Tumblr. I had seen it as a different blogging platform with some additional features. But after a while I realized that Tumblr can’t be a replacement for Wordpress - it’s a completely different service. Tumblr works best as an aggregator of all your online activity in [...]
