Blogs and bloggers in person

Another Open Space blog joins the world. Lucas Gonzales produces CoPensar. I have no idea where he is, but he mentions Tenerife and South America a lot. He is a nice recent contributer to OSLIST as well.

I had a blogger-in-person once removed experience today as Ranger Tim, made famous in the Canadian adventures of Dervala came over to Bowen Island for a walk in the forest and a peek at the storm surge crashing on the rocks of Cape Roger Curtis.

I love meeting bloggers (and their friends) in person. They have always turned out to be just the kind of people I thought they would be from reading their publishing. The list is getting pretty long too, with Rob Paterson, The Happy Tutor, AKMA, Tom Munnecke, Gerry and Debbie Gleason, Lenore Ealy among others. And that doesn’t include the people I knew BEFORE they were bloggers, or the bloggers I have spoken to on the phone…

It’s neat when faces and blogs go together and one realizes that there are many real people out there in the community that one always perceives as real. It helps to ground this stuff and these connections.
