Continuing my trek through friends’ sites, I’ll again visit one of the older sites out there.<\/p>\n

I met Jim through work at Intuit. He and I shared a similar work ethic and also both enjoyed getting to know rock climbing a little better. He and I, along with several other Intuit folks, would head up to the mountains on a pretty regular basis trying out different climbing routes and destinations. There were several trips to Yosemite, Fresno Dome and even a few great trips down to Joshua Tree<\/p>\n

Jim had registered the JimSauer<\/a> domain early in the days of the internet, and when I first met him the site was unmaintained and used primarily for the email address. Since then, Jim has spent a good amount of time overhauling the site into a bit of a blog type interface though he built the site and its publishing capabilities from scratch.<\/p>\n

It remains his personal site, updated with select events from his day-to-day life including some photos and interesting anecdotes about what he’s been up to. This site probably won’t be of interest to too many, but I check in from time to time since he and I don’t manage to keep up with each other as much these days. I’d love to blame the fact that he’s moved to Tucson, but I know that’s not the case. Even prior to the move we weren’t spending as much time together. It’s a combination of no longer working together, me no longer climbing, and us living 40 miles away.<\/p>\n

But that’s not completely it. I also feel that there’s a level of difficulty (that I feel anyway) of day-to-day living and trying to keep up with so many folks from over the years. I don’t know how unique I am in that regard or whether this is just a symptom of modern living – people living farther apart and creating larger and larger networks of people.<\/p>\n

I think this at least partially explains the success of sites like FaceBook or LinkedIn. These sites would be unnecessary in a world in which people lived in the towns in which they grew up and worked in jobs that they maintain for 20 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
