Well, I finally decided it was time to break down and set up a blog that I can get thoughts down on paper. Often at work I come across a cool technique or trick and I want to be able to share it with others and so I figured this was the best forum to do it. Now it will be interesting to see who’s interested in reading it.
The title, “Never Knew That” comes from the fact that every day I learn something new. I learn things about software, people, leadership, parenting. Life is amazingly fun and it’s best to make the most of it.
I hope you are.
The web is making it easier and easier to keep in touch with old friends, even when the paths of life take you in different directions. In America, we are so mobile. When I was growing up, I lived in the same house my whole life. I loved the sense of stability this provided me. Now as an adult I’ve also moved around a fair bit, meeting people and making new friends in:
- Champaign, IL
- Marburg, Germany
- Phoenix, AZ
- Peachtree City, GA
- Manchester, England
- Alpharetta, GA
- Roswell, GA
I always hate it when I lose touch with those who have shared life’s journey with me. Now through sites like Classmates, Myspace, Facebook, Xing and Linkedin, we can make sure we are able to stay in touch. This in addition to the benefits from search engines like Google that make it easy to find old friends and colleagues.
I encourage you to create an online presence. You never know when an old friend might want to contact you and reminisce about old times.
The only challenge is keeping track of our friends as they move through cyberspace!
