NewOrleans+Americorps+Awesome

My name is Bill.

I just moved to New Orleans. I took a year long position through the Digital Arts Service Corps at the Community Center of St Bernard Parish. I'm pretty excited.

I'm also a project based artist, here are some projects I have done/am doing.

I just returned from a week long Americorps orientation in Boston. According to wikipedia there are about 70,000 people currently in Americorps, and I’m in a sect of Americorps called VISTA (which has to do with poverty and capacity building) and has around 7,000 people. Then inside of VISTA I’m part of a group called the Digital Arts Service Corps (which totals about 50 people) of who were at this orientation. The DAS corps works with non-profits (mine being the Community Center of St Bernard) to better their media/technology. I really like the idea of DAS corps and I’m happy/excited to be a part of it. I start Monday. On a side note, I thought I had grown out of my highschoolish awkwardness at events like these, but I definitely have not.
