Time Out… Real life sneaks into the blog.
Posted on April 14th, 2006 2 commentsA chilly holiday Friday morning here on the red dirt island. Coffee poured, and catching up on all the little things that have been left dangling due to the speed at which things have been going the last couple of weeks. Today the blog is going to wander away from education and into my real life.
First, my partner, seen here with her mother,
has got her blog up and running. The crib chronicles are a slightly different flavour of mom blog, as you’ll sense from the first few lines of text. The most recent post at the time of writing is a powerful piece of writing (if I say it who shouldn’t) and speaks very much to the way the last year of my life has gone, and said in a way I’m not sure I’d be able to. Clear, direct, honest (if a little off the chart on the vocabulary… bon’s a smarty pants) It is, like I warned earlier, a very personal part of our lives, but to all those fine people out there who I talk to all the time, I figured this was the best way to share it.Bonnie is also going to be starting a webcast on the site, maybe sometime next week… She’s one of my fellow interns at the Wedcast Academy. If any of you out there are interested in joining in, just drop a line over at her blog and let her know that you’d like to join in.
She’s been my partner now (no, we’re not married) for five years… and is my best friend. As well as my favourite debating partner.
The other girl in my house is not so nearly well presented. She’s the tyrant of the place. Her name is Clementine. As you can see from this photo, she’s very energetic… This is actually the five seconds that she was stopped on this given day. You can occasionally hear her during the shows…2 responses to “Time Out… Real life sneaks into the blog.”

Dave,
Thanks for sharing. Bonnie is an amazing writer. I felt along with your past year as I read. Not sure what else to say here — I’m wordless. Silence can be the best answer at times.
My family keeps me sane, although it makes blogging and participating in Webcasts difficult — except after they are all asleep:-) You can see them at http://www.ragonefamily.net.
Thanks for all of your inspiration.

[...] Two podcasts I listened to this weekend brought up the concept of Googling to find information about someone, especially during job searches. NCQ Talk’s Kris went as far as to say that Googling your name could be your actual resume. At Weblogs, Wikis, and Feeds — Oh My! they also discussed putting information online so that when you are Googled your writing, podcasts, etc. come up as opposed to what someone else wrote about you. This mixes into our students using MySpace and other social networks that are open and share who you are with other people. How as we work on the web, we create trails of information about ourselves. How this will effect the job search process. How I am finding it so hard to separate my professional from personal life. I have lots of interesting feelings about this. Blogging, Webcasting, and Podcasting are amazing media and have really allowed me to get to know many folks around the blogosphere. Dave and Jeff at EdTechTalk both shared personal pieces this week that made me feel like I know them better, even though I don’t really ‘know’ them. I guess it’s similar to the way people feel so familiar with their news anchors or other familiar television actors. But with the Read/Write web, you can actually start a two way conversation and share back.
