Weird

Had a very odd experience this morning. I had a frenzied dream about standing in the middle of the Musee d’Orsay in Paris, making a long-distance call on my mobile to the US, talking to the owner of a website. I had to give a justification as to why I should be included on her list of links, only I was getting a bit irate and confused about the whole thing. The name of the site? DebbieCollins.com.

So when I woke up and logged on, late morning, I thought what the hell, I’ll try it. I typed in DebbieCollins.com, and nothing came up. Phew. So I tried DeborahCollins.com on the off-chance, and lo and behold, a weblog I haven’t seen before. It must have got lodged in my subconscious, somehow. Weird. And there I am, already on the links list, without needing to do a telephone interview. Even weirder.

So I had a little poke around her site, and then I stumbled over her about page, which bears a striking similarity to mine, not in terms of design, but in the facts listed down the left hand side. I think Debbie and I would get on alarmingly well, considering we have so very much in common. Interests, passions, things that get us into trouble. Hell, even some of the words are the same. Uncanny. Hmm.

Anyway, this got me thinking about revamping my own about page, because it’s a bit tired and besides, why not? I was thinking about doing a MEGFAQ, if possible, so can I ask for your help, please, in submitting questions you would like answered? Thank you….

By way of explanation…

This is an individual post, which may not be very recent. For the latest stuff on meish dot org, please visit the main page.

By the way, I'm female. It doesn't have much impact on what I write about, or how I write, but I thought I'd point it out because so many people who link to this site seem to assume I'm male.

The clue's in the name: Meg. Like all those other female Megs.

What’s all this, then?

This is a personal site, created and curated continuously since early 2000 by Meg Pickard, a creative geek, passionate photographer, anthropologist and web experience /community /social media specialist, who works for The Guardian & lives in London, UK.
 
The site includes a blog - a personal and evolving collection of links, opinions, thoughts, ideas, anecdotes and musings - as well as a variety of other projects. It is also a place to aggregate some of the author's distributed web activity, like photos, links and music.
 
More info about this site and its author.

Important note #1

This is a personal site. The contents and opinions contained within don't necessarily reflect those of my employer, family, or cat. They think for themselves (though mostly about tuna, in at least one case), and so do I.

Important note #2

Since the overwhelming majority of content on this site is historical, it should be regarded in light of the context in which it was originally published, and not as indicative or revealing of current perspectives, preferences or experience.

Important note #3

While I work and spend a lot of time thinking and talking about social media, participatory technologies and community development strategies, the vast majority of content on this site is not about that.

This personal site isn't about anything, except the perpetual unfolding of one person's experience, and the perspectives, observations and opinions that involves and inspires.

You still here?

Oh.
