Blogging community

A lady by the name of "Expensive mistakes and cheap thrills" (i SO dig the ideas the name espouses) is busy getting south african bloggers together under a social networking site.

Some interesting sites, and perspectives. I already have found a lady in our office that has a blog, but i'm keeping it secret, for now *evil grin*.

When i see some easily copyable code, i'll drop in a button somewhere. But i like the idea. Too much fragments us in our daily lives, and community has become outdated, and largely impractical. The cyber world allows us to get back to community, sharing both your own life and learning about others.

In Think Bike, we are seeing the real world pay offs for this. This morning, a bike on the side of the road, it was Enduro, whose clutch had packed up. She has been railing for a while how people don't stop for broken vehicles, but the think bike people do. You cannot drive past a person you know, especially a lady on the side of the road.

This is all good, people recognising other people, as simple as it sounds, we've been so deadened to other people, seeing one as another human being is actually it's own sort of miracle. OHowever like most other things, practice makes perfect.
