There was a little bit of daylight left just now for my evening commute – the first time that’s been the case this year.  Houses had colors.  I could see the view from Phinney Ridge.  I suppose that it’s slowly getting lighter, but today was also the first time in a few weeks that I got out the door at a normal time.

I am not a blogger, and I think the same goes for most people – even most people who start blogs.  I have been more active on Facebook lately, though.  It has grown to a critical mass, it seems, a tipping point in increasing value.  High school friends, old church relationships – the network effect is great.  So while it’s not perfect (I won’t bore you with my plans to write my own even-better personal communication tool), it’s pretty useful for communicating in a distributed-but-focused way.
