I’ve noticed that a lot of my jaiku and twitter presence posts are about coffee, wine and beer – and that could be misleading. My “presence” is not who I am, rather it only reflects a small part of me and my life.

You see, it’s all about when I post presence updates. Usually, it’s when I take a break and I’m waiting on the barista or the coffee pot. Or, it’s when I get a moment to sit down and relax at night. So my presence posts often come from those moments. But as more and more of me gets scattered across the internet, it would be easy to assume that a more complete picture of me is developing for all to see. Certainly, small things about me are revealed – but do not take them to be all there is to me.

Truth is, much of the real me – what I do, what I achieve, what I think about – is not “present” on the internet at all. That’s because the real me is what I do between “presence” posts.
