I think sharing things like that are what make us "real" online. No one likes a talking head. Janie,

When I wrote my blog entry on Library Garden about adopting our son I almost didn't hit send -- it felt way too personal. But I leaned in to my discomfort and pushed send, and it felt good to say what was really on mind and in my heart that night. Love the shot of you falling asleep with the pina colada!

But using tools like flickr has opened up some of what I share, so it's definitely something I think about too. I do write about some personalish stuff on my blog but always somehow related to work. So I guess my line has shifted somewhat. And I take lots of pics of drinks and food too! Two of my friends have a long running fruity drink making competition. Much to the benefit of everyone!

We all drink, but it just got me to thinking about how things like Flickr can change the line between what you would put out in public and what you would keep to yourself. I do not have a traditional photo album of anything but my wedding. Most of the pictures I "own" are all on Flickr. And man were those fruity drinks good. My friend Tom makes pina coladas from scratch that are simply amazing. Hence my need to force myself to stay awake to consume a couple. I know, I know.

I take more pics of friends drinking etc then there are of myself so I try to keep those out of the work arena for the most part. I'm totally shocked that you had fruity drinks on vacation. Shocked I say! I have this discussion with myself pretty often, although I do tend to post more personal pics to a flickr account I had before I started my blog.

And so my name stays on it. Also, I have the picture discussion with myself all the time. Does the world need to see that picture Drew took of me in my jammies? Does my future boss need to see it? But the internet changes the discussion, and the parameters within which we make our decisions. So jammies on the internet, it is!

You have drinks when you go on vacation. I'm shocked! Shocked, you hear me, shocked! Beer! Fruit-colored drinks that might contain something stronger than soda! What is this world coming to? Next you'll be saying that you weren't thinking about work every minute you were away... You go on vacation. You have drinks when you go on vacation. I’m shocked! Shocked, you hear me, shocked! Beer!
