It recently occurred to me that something I personally like about online social networks is part of their widespread popularity.

Every so often I get an interesting shot and decide to update my Facebook page with a new profile picture. So, of course I end up flipping through all of my old ones. Don’t you? That got me thinking.

Hey, these photos are a little online scrapbook of me. As are my goodreads profile and Xbox gamer card and my blog, etc. Granted those are all in different places for different audiences, but I connect them all as much as I possibility can. I think it’s important.

And they are all little puzzles pieces of my life. And collecting them and showing them off online is my public and proud trophy case. Only, said trophy case doesn’t really need to have blue ribbons and gold medals. It just needs to have bits of me. And that’s enough. That’s special.

Just don’t forget to wash the glass on your case, so I can see inside, ok?
