Thought-provoking day

While it would seem a poor day for typing (my grammar, spelling, and punctuation is atrocious this evening), it’s a fantastic day for thoughts.  I watched the girls today while my wife was working in Omaha, and it was probably our best day together since it was just myself and my eldest.  We actually had fun!

I thought about location and movement of people as I watched my wife’s return home based on a client application on her Android phone, and I think the most apt name for the current 20-30 somethings is the “Location Generation”.  Between Google’s Latitude and 4square and the like, everyone knows where everyone else is at.  If you think nobody knows where you are and you have any online social presence whatsoever (or even have friends who do), you’re lying to yourself.

Had a few great sociopolitical short discussions with people, and had the opportunity to become of people who I share context with.  Aspiring presidential candidates who have near-literal references to my own ideals, and people with similar thoughts who challenge me.  Old friends who influenced my development.  Expanding my horizons on ventures in which I am currently involved (though probably not of great consequence to anyone but myself).  I do appreciate social networking as a whole, and I think Google+ has some really great things to offer.

Lots of great social, political, and family things.  Plus, it’s my anniversary!  What amazing changes in two years, and even more in three.  No more “io sol uno”; I am truly blessed.  Tomorrow comes sooner than my preference would dictate, as always.  I had best find my way to a brief rest and rejuvenation.  Farewell for now, Internets.
