my social networking site for homebased employees is back up and running: http://outofsite.ning.com/. If you primarily (or even just occasionally) work from home, stop on by and participate. I'm hoping that this site will allow those of us who work from home to connect, share, and even contribute to the external knowledge-base, defining who we are and what we do. I have found that being a homebased employee is an oft-misunderstood classification, and I think it's time to work on the definition. And if you are a cube-dweller, come by and join up, too. We'd love to hear your thoughts, as well.

breakfast with the geeks
As everyone who reads this blog knows, i am a homebased employee. This means that I spend 96% of my days here in my house (that's 23 hours out of 24) on an average day. Yesterday, however, I found myself having breakfast with 25 or so of the most interesting people I have met here in Nashville. The event: Geek Breakfast.
The group was more diverse than I had predicted, which made me feel much more at home. I broke bread with a pastor, a recruiter, a marketer, a couple of web developers, and a photographer. Coffee and conversation; just what a lonesome, cloistered book-guy like me needed.
I have greatly underestimated the value of the "real", face-to-face world these past two years. And I have greatly underestimated the need to fill my vessel with knowledge, wisdom, and humor from new faces.
I think it's time to get out more and recognize the world for what it is; lunatics on the grass.

last sunset
And all I possess
Blows away in this wind
And as I came in
So I'm leaving
Unadorned
As I was born
Nighting as the day ends
Take it slow as we can
You never know, it might be
The last sunset we'll ever see... -- Glen Phillips
