The boring flower snapshot is still going strong.
I cycled past a field of flowers this week and stopped to take some snaps. The light was beautiful. Taken with my smartphone… As they say, the best camera is the one that is with you.

In a recent offline conversation, I dropped a comment:
That’s my common social object with so-and-so.

I realized how much this old blog post from the beginnings of blogging has influenced me.
My observation: If I find a common social object, it helps me re-connect. If I find a common topic, sport, technology, political view, geographic place, hobby, shared past experiences, the depth of interactions changes.
Sounds obvious.
As 2020 has changed many social interactions, routines, and aspects. I am curious to see what will return and in which way.
2020 is a catalyst for changes that started happening already.
I am curious how work will evolve. Language change is an indicator of societal change. I attended a meeting on Friday where one participant said to another:
I Slack-ed you.
ironically on a Teams call
The tools may change. But, the trajectory will probably remain the same.
Note to myself: My blogger skills are very useful.
