Virtual Chumby

I wanted to share my Chumby widgets with everyone so I've created a virtual Chumby for everyone to enjoy. It is connected with my actual Chumby so if I make a change to it, you'll also see it here. Cool Eh? It'll start with a clock but if you wait about 15 seconds you'll see the next widget. Each widget appears for an amount of time I've chosen ranging from 15 seconds up to 5 minutes. Enjoy.

1972 - Good vintage

Growing up in similar cultures does matter. It's been a trend for some time now, running into like-minded others who I later realise were born in 1972 too. I never used to think that it mattered (as I am currenly married to my best friend ever who was not born on or near 1972) but I am now sure that it adds something to each professional and personal relationship. I find an odd connection here or there with others born the same year and think about how we were all growing up together, experiencing the 70's, 80's, and 90's as a group.

Many of those I meet are into either educational technology or writing or both and it makes me wonder what about our upbringing brought it on. Do you remember learning to make your name scroll on a black and green computer screen in 7th or 8th grade? Do you remember your first 3-D movie? How about wearing bell-bottoms in elementary school and then pinned jeans in high-school? Neon shirts with poof paint? Wearing two polo shirts with the collars up and then socks that match both shirts? Sweats pushed up to the knee, Star Trek? There's too much here to write about.



Am I the only one?
