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.
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.

I’ve been playing around with the free forum hosting by lefora and I’m impressed. It looks great, has some amazing features, and best of all it’s free. We’re in the process of figuring out how we’re going to manage the BIL Community for the BIL Conference and I’m going to see if I can get [...]

[Update:] In the comments, Chris pointed out that T-Mobile just announced something similar, a phone that switches over to wi-fi when it has a better connection (ny times article). I love it. But, right now they are only offering it with a basic flip phone. Once they get a Blackberry or iPhone [...]
[Resolved:] Apple is now sending me a brand new Macbook Pro. I’m guess I’m lucky this happened right when they upgraded the whole line. I’m getting the 15″ with 2.2ghz processor, 2gb ram for free.
Somewhere between Apple, DHL and me, my powerbook got lost. It was meant to be delivered May 30, and after waiting [...]
I drove up to Lake Travis last night and within 30 minutes of getting here my powerbook was broken. I was updating my blackberry with iCal and it crashed, now it won’t boot up. But, it’s shown me how unnecessary bringing a laptop really is. All the data I care about is in the clouds, [...]
When AppleTV came out I was really disappointed. I was hoping for something better than a mac mini hooked up to my TV, not simply an iTunes extender. But it is a good first step into the living room of most people (not my living room, I have a PC in there already which can [...]
I’ve had bad luck with DRM today. First with Apple, then Microsoft. Let’s start with Apple:
This is what it said on my laptop when I tried to download ze frank’s album:
