I go back and two between enjoying the fact that people recognize my name and then feeling a little weird when I get those bizarre emails from people who know just a little too much about you. One lady last year asked if I went to _____ church in my town because she'd like to get to know me a little better (she was right, btw). She also knew where my kids went to school. I also had an IM fan who harassed me for a time last year. Sometimes it's rather creepy. As well, a blogger I know just deleted her email and web domain because of a stalker. But, with proper controls this kind of stuff can be handled. My kids are on heightened security at school and church and they can't even carpool or walk out class w/o permission either place. Also, their picture isn't allowed to be put on the web or newspaper through their school. I took measures to pull my address off of everywhere I know to remove it. Hopefully I'm a little more secure than I was last year.
I do rather think it's neat that our lives and such will be chronicled so well for future use. I was a history major in college and I can't help but think that what we are doing now will be a boon to those given the task of understanding what life was like in our age. If history interests you I'd recommend IClaudius' vidcast.

Been thinking a bit and reflecting on this past year and I had a question/thought. Has anyone else just sat and thought for a moment and reflected on what we are doing? Putting our lives out "there" for all to see? I mean does it ever seem weird? Not bad weird but just "weird"? To think that maybe 100 years, 1,000 years from now, someone could watch me, see my life, my ups, my downs, my trips, my friends, my dreams, hopes, etc...it's just wild to me.....you know when I first started I was so anal, I didn't want anyone to know my real name, I mean I was running in the street with scissors or doing something else goofy, showing my house, my street, etc but I didn't want anyone to know my name....I think back at that and just laugh out loud.... Anyway just wondering if anyone else thinks about all this...like I do....probably not.... ;) Heath http://batmangeek7.blogspot.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
