  • Tag Your Name

    I’m sure you bloggers already know this, but just in case you don’t-tag some of your posts with your name.  Add tags that describe the post, but also add your name so that you can be found. It also helps to just create a tag with your name so that…

  • Digital and Real Life

    You all know that you have a real life, but did you know that you have a digital life.  Whether you spend much time on your blog or e mail, you have a digital footprint.  I’ve found friends off of their times on a 10k race they did years ago…

  • Google Buzz

    Have you tried Google Buzz?  I am using it.  Come find me and let’s follow each other. Is it trying to be too hard to be the next thing?  Some people say that it’s just like Friend Feed.  Others say that Google just stole Buzz from Yahoo – because Yahoo…

  • Your Facebook Doppelganger

    Or your “celebrity-look-a-like” picture tells me so much about you. It is identity leakage or personality leakage, and it isn’t necessarily a bad thing. There are a few pictures that really, really look like the person. I mean, it’s uncanny. The pictures really work for them. Most of the pictures…

  • I am DVR’d Conditioned

    The Grammy’s just started, but I don’t want to watch it live.  I want to watch it later when I can fly through the commercials.  Are you doing the same thing?  Or did you watch it with the commercials? I realize that I the DVR has conditioned me to not…

  • Me am a Mac

    At least in the Jamesian way.  Before your rip on my grammar – check out this post and this post to see what I mean by Jamesian Me. Being a “Mac” as the tv commercials describe them is one of the Me’s that I have created.  I thought about this…

  • Expressions of Identity as Identity Confusion

    Not all expressions of identity are good.  Sometimes an expression of identity is identity confusion.  The thing is, the person expressing that identity – doesn’t know that it’s identity confusion (always). Don’t get me wrong.  The exploration of any expression of identity – even expressions of identity as identity confusion…

  • Dunbar’s Number

    I forgot where I first read this. It was probably in a book or a blog, but I just checked out wikipedia for the information. I’m just going to copy it here. Dunbar’s number is a theoretical cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable…

  • Photos and Identity Formation

    Each digital image/photo that you post represents you. Each photo gives us a glimpse into who you are – or at least the you that you are projecting to us. It is a powerful identity construction tool. The pose that you are in when you take it; the digital effect…

  • Charger Identity

    It’s been almost a week since the Charger’s loss.  I watched the game in South Lake Tahoe with a few Charger fans, but because I was in Tahoe, there wasn’t much conversation about it while I was up there. I’m in Encinitas today at a Starbucks.  I am back in…

  • Blessed are the Meek

    I don’t have it all together.  I will probably not ever have it all together-not in this lifetime or the next.  I’m okay with that. I am so thankful for this idea – for this promise – that God will be with those that don’t have it all together.  God…

  • Identity and Places

    I just came home from Hawaii.  I love going home and seeing things and places that have so much significance for me – places where I experienced my first “you name it” or places that have shaped my identity.  There are some places that I go to where there used…
