Some days I just love the Internet
Sep. 3rd, 2008 08:42 pmThis was one of those days. Today I:
1) heard from an old friend. We've been out of contact for about a decade, but reconnected via a networking site.
2) found a new family member. I didn't even know he existed, but he found me via a geneology site and tracked me down. He noted that he wanted to know a little about me before he called, so he checked out my wishlist on Amazon. "I saw the books and photo equipment," he said. Yep, that's me.
3) made some money. A totally random person spotted one of my photos on Flickr, liked it, and asked whether they could buy it. Heck, yes!
It was a good, very connected day.
