[...] Steven Bradley tagged me with a blog meme: What I Do When I’m Not Working; the answer is remarkably simple. The map above hasn’t changed significantly in the few years I’ve been living here in Seattle. The one on the left, quite obviously, has seen a remarkable transformation. [...]

@Bryan – Thanks for the compliment. I guess the meme concept works to drive traffic.

@Kristine – Thanks too. You’re making me blush and making my head swell.

Bryan,

Great to see you! Steve has some terrific insights here, and talks quite a bit about blogging. I always learn a lot when I read his posts.

I just found this site through a link from one of Kristine’s blogs. Looks like the meme tag found it’s way to me, and I wanted to follow it back a bit. Great site and great writing!

Funny. I kind of noticed that most of my pursuits were solitary too. I had to carefully select a few I do with other people. Work has pretty much taken over my life too, though I do enjoy it so I’m not complaining.

I forgot to mention I enjoy a good crossword or logic puzzle too. I don’t start them all that much, because I have a hard time stopping until I finish. Often that’s more time than I wanted to spend in the first place. But then there are those times when one just finds its way in front of me and I can be lost for a few hours.

I did my post, which only served to point out how many of pursuits are solitary, and how much work has taken over my life. It might have been a good thing though, because now I might be motivated to get back to doing some of the things I’ve let lapse.

I should have realized you recognize the mountains. The Flatirons are pretty spectacular. It’s easy to understand why someone first arrived at this place and though it would a good place to stop and settle. I don’t blame you for missing Colorado. It will be hard for me to leave if I ever do. By the way you also live in a pretty beautiful part of the country yourself.

I know you grew up, but how long?

I’ve thought of selling the images and I’ve also thought of using all my images as the start of my own stock photography site or section of this site. I’ve thought of lots of things to do with them. It’s on my to do list to go through everything I have and separate the wheat from the chaff.

I know what you mean about blurring the line. Keeping with the images I first starting taking pictures for source material I could use in designs and some of my images have found their way into client sites.

I think it’s probably safe to talk about anything you aren’t directly doing for work, though you could also mention how your work life and your out of work life are connected.
