I typed in the title above and immediately the High Lamas start singing in my head... "it's the final night, and they still can't get it right. the movement on the stage was so-so... do do do do, they're calling it the stop and go show..."
it's delightful dittying. So here I am in Maui. On this heathervescent blog o mine, I haven't reallu waxed work for a while. It's because I have been focusing almost no attention on work. So it's a somewhat shock to my system to be conference attending (www.c-summit.com), checking out companies, technologies, getting back into the techno talk. This comes easy to me. I know the tech, I have a lot of insights, I'm not a self-important ego focused whatever.... but still...
This tech part of me is just that. A part. Not part of the whole. So how much of who I am comes through. Is that important? At AOL, not only did I thrive on the technology and opportunity, but I used it as my primary battlefield to work on myself personally. The profession space is a great place to watch and learn about yourself and fellow primates. My real interests are in how people interact. And what happens when you throw technology into the mix. What does it do to us as a primate species to interact with each other with a technology wall - kind of the way you and I are interacting right now. Me here, in a lobby in the Ritz Carlton on Maui. You, where you are in front of your screen.
Technology enables you to experience somewhat, what I am experiences. Here you can experience my direct experience by my communication to you via typing it into my blog and posting it. With a cameraphone (if I get around to setting up the moblogging stuff) I can take pictures of the places I'm going to visit (and have already visited). Dragon Teeth, the petroglyphs.... ok, I guess I'll try to get the moblogging stuff going and maybe take some picture - so that you can experience visually, as well as the way you are right now...
