I commented on m/a/z/e's blog entry about his lifetime relationship with weatherman Dave Selesky because of my own lifetime relationship with weatherman Dave Sweeney. I was thinking... it's curious how two people can have something like that in common.

Then... this morning I was reading about Burning Man preparations in another blog when I realized that I was reading about Michael, who has chronic "health issues", is technical enough to speak well on wireless Internet and MD5 encryption, is partnered up with Anne-Marie and lives in Oregon. It's like I'm this fellow's evil twin (or vice versa). freaky!

Now, I don't spend much time looking around the Internet, so coincidences like these have to jump in my lap for me to see them and it's got to be amazing to find two in a few hours. Keeping up on technical news and local happenings has really become a lot easier since I started using an RSS reader (most recently switching to Keith's Feed application). Curious about seeing what's happening locally, I added "ORBlogs" to my list of RSS Feeds to see what other Oregon bloggers are saying about Oregon. That's where I found these two bits of synchronicity... maybe this level of connection to others is too much for me... I prefer to believe I am an island.
