Nicely done. Is it just me, or is our generation/the web worker culture "post-ambition?" Not to say that we don't have ambition. More a matter that those ambitions reflect broader, less traditional paths. I'd love to hear what you think. Inspirational as ever, Anne. Nicely done.

I really loved the "Isn’t that the point of the social web? ..." part. We're in the middle of rolling out a social networking tool behind the firewall, and suggested labels for the "about me" fields are "About My Work" and "The Real Me" and I chafe at the thought that these are supposed to be different. I haven't decided yet what I'm going to do about that, I may just put the same info in twice. My "class schedule" includes: Reading more books: both good stories from the giant stack of unread already in the house, and a few new because I love bookstores and buying books Going to Defrag: first conference I will be at but not speaking/presenting in a few years, and I'm looking forward to being a sponge and active participant without being "on" in that way. (Thank you day job for paying my way.) Continuing with creative commitments: I'm 200+ days into the 365 days photo project, and I am determined to finish. There is more I want to do creatively and with my photography, and I don't want to lose sight of how important it is to make the time for it. Things I don't want to do: - Get bogged down in defensive and scarcity-based thinking - Worry about my career and "what's next" and where I "should" be Thank you for this post.
