I really like Paul’s suggestion that everyone doing #blogjune could write on the same topic on Wednesday 21 June<\/a> .<\/p>\n

If you don’t own a calendar, or just didn’t think about it, you may not realise that we are over the half way mark! Hooray! … and given that many of us have just written 17 posts in the last 17 days, thank goodness for one less post to come up with.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Pop over to Paul’s place<\/a> to see what we will all be writing about…and maybe understand what an avocado<\/a> has in common with Jessamyn West<\/a>.\u00a0 I can guarantee I will mention Zotero, my reading glasses, cordless headphones and a cat in my lap…<\/p>\n

So – as a community service, and because I have been so relieved to have a pre-canned topic to write about, I am going to ask a couple of\u00a0 questions for other #blogjune people to answer.<\/p>\n

I’m proposing that #blogjune-ers who would like to play along respond to these on Wednesday June 28th<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I am also inviting people who usually #blogjune but are not this year, or are #blogjune-curious, to maybe use it as a chance to play along by making a blogjune post anywhere with its own URL. So that we can see your one-off contribution, if you post the link to Twitter that day with the #blogjune hashtag, I will Storify it and post it here the next day.<\/p>\n

It was actually hard to think of questions that did not sound like we were speed-dating or interviewing for a library job. I settled for two questions about time travel…<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If you could go back and tell your 20 year old self one thing that was going to happen to you between then and today, what would that be?<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. In 20 years time (presuming the world gets better, not worse) what do you think will be the biggest technological difference between your life now and your life then ?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
