If you haven't seen it, check out the new Michael Wesch video, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/mwesch" rel="nofollow">An anthropological introduction to YouTube</a> which discusses how on YouTube, when you are watching participants on a video you can stare at them in a way you can't in real life without being rude. I kind of think my personality online is a little more mellow than I am in real life? Yeah Lisa, I hear you.

I kind of think my personality online is a little more mellow than I am in real life?

I was never one who knew how to network when networking was all done face to face. I was too shy to just go up to people and say hello. The computer has helped me network like never before. And I find having connections unbelievably invaluable. Once again, so very well said. I was never one who knew how to network when networking was all done face to face.

Africa that are just as unique and interesting, what stayed with me though was how interconnected we are? I have been traveling a lot, but will now be getting ready for the return of school. My son goes back August 11, and I go back after Labor Day (1st Tuesday in September). I’m sure there are parts of S.

I note that you seem to be moving around these days! Still reading your blog, and still finding interesting nuggets, even though I have not had anything to contribute as a comment lately.

When I was a child I lived in Iowa and occasionally my dad took me to Amana, to Amish livestock auctions. The fascination was mutual, me with them and vice versa. I agree that the attraction to Twitter and to the blogs we write and read is in the connections we make. It's interesting to me to see how people's personalities shine through such a medium as the technology we use. Take care. Lynn I loved following along with you as you were in the Amish community.
