I just love her Canadesque intonation, how everything seems sort of question-like?

I would like to nominate Jessamyn C. West for the position of "Coolest Person on the Internet".

... but I don't understand the part about "and then put your screen away, and then do your other life stuff"... I never get to this step, is there something that I am missing out? Could anyone provide a relevant link or RSS feed to this stuff?

Seriously, someone will need to explain this "other life" thing to me, too.

Nice! Jessamyn, you look very pretty in this video. Good choice of shirt and jewelry. Everything a rosy glow!

cool, thanks TPS. My boss took me out to lunch today and we wound up chatting about the Denver MeFi meetup in which Jessamyn figured prominently. I can't think of a better link to give him to articulate just how important it was for the Denver contingent to get to finally meet her.

Great video! Very flattering!

But you can count me in as one of the doomy-gloomy people who are not happy with the blurring of the work/life boundary.

Next up: the metafilter podcast will turn into a videocast. Jessamyn adds a whole commentary subtext using her eyebrows!
That information is lost otherwise. :-)

I had never heard of bigthink. So I think the honour is theirs.

Nice.
i don't think people understand the digital divide from urban to rural nearly enough.

Very cool.

Yay! Nice video. Jessamyn is the only person I've met who has their own wikipedia article, I think.

This is raising the bar for cortex's shirt and jewelry when he gets his 15 minutes of fame. I know he doesn't wear pants.

I like when jessamyn does voices. They all kind of sound the same, but it's a good same.

I like watching her eyebrows - very expressive.
