A Node in the Network is my way of situating myself in the world. I’ll let the posts speak for themselves, but explain my links: under the title of One Degree are people (or organizations with people in them) whom I know personally and who would know me by name. Under Two Degrees are people who know people I know. I’ve met some of them, but don’t know any of them well. Distant Relatives include people I know, vaguely know, or don’t know at all whom I share common ancestry with. E-cquaintances are people I’m acquainted with primarily or exclusively through online interaction but don’t know well.
