Place Bloggers Meet in Bodega Bay
Today we met up with Tim Lindgren of the Where Project. Tim was over from Boston for a wedding, and we had some work to do on my mother’s computer, so we met up for brunch this morning at the Seaweed Cafe.
Tim always asks interesting questions about blogging place, and it seems that people often ask interesting questions about place themselves when they are somehow in transition. We came up with quite a few blogs between us where this is the case. Being on the edge is what ecotone means, and it’s a challenge to find the edge when you’re feeling settled, of finding the extraordinary (or at least blogworthy) in the everyday. I think one way I’m able to do this is through sketching. (I didn’t do any sketching this morning but we did talk about it.)
Speaking of Ecotone, Tim is heroically moving the spam-beleaguered wiki to a Drupal interface. There should be a skeletal prototype available soon. Please indicate in comments here if you’d like to be involved in testing the new format—we’d love help here! (From highly advanced users to novices, people who have never even left a comment before.)

I love the picture of the 3 of you.
Pica, you have the hair to which I aspire. So far I have a barely-visible salting (the effect is obvious, but it doesn’t say “silver hair”) and white patches at the temples. I maximize the effect by parting my hair thtough the middle of one patch.
