I went to Houston for my weekly meetings with my marketing staff. I arrived about 30 minutes before I was to meet with one of my marketing coordinators and had some time to kill. After reading my friends' blogs, I moved on to of some of their friends' blogs.
First I came across Amanda's blog (linked from Wiley) and read all about her Ironman training. (Her training is impressive!)
Then I came to her husband Gordon's blog. I've seen Gordon around the running/tri community before. I've admired his photographs, too. (In fact, we use 2 of them on runningbanana.com) But for some stupid reason, I've never introduced myself to him. Maybe I didn't want to seem stalkery - you know, where you know someone who doesn't know you.
Well, anyway, I was reading all about his photography and admiring more of his pictures, when I get an email alert that someone had commented on one of my posts. Lo & behold - it's Gordon! I had no idea he even read my blog... and at the same time I was reading his. Craziness!!
So... Gordon - I'm officially (and publicly) introducing myself. I love your photography! You are VERY talented. (see picture below as proof) Next time I see you out, I will introduce myself in person. Thanks for reading my blog, and for actually posting!
It's cool how people can connect online, you know?

I thought I recognised you from the runningbanana thing. Hullo! I have my very own stalker, who'd have thought it.

The restraining order is very funny. Well executed, indeed!!
So true, Erin. So true, how people can hook up online. Wow.
Are there any other truisms regarding recent technological advances that you can share with us?
