I am not sure that I would say that I'm very protective of keeping my personal and professional lives separate. In fact, I've had significant problems in the past because they've blended so closely together and the professional has threatened the personal. Perhaps the real issue is that I have certain things that I choose to keep "private" which feels different to me than separating the professional from the personal. I'll have to think about it more. And by the way, you're right that I don't own those groovy pants but this blog is about the "desert of my real life" so maybe I see myself as a cool, hip woman in groovy pants but I just can't pull it off in "real" life. What do you think? This is interesting. I am not sure that I would say that I’m very protective of keeping my personal and professional lives separate.

As we talk about with each other, you are often very protective of keeping your personal and professional lives separate. I find your blog, in some ways, no different. You write about your professional life as a teacher and researcher of games; you talk about conference talks, movies, and conversations that relate to technology, gaming, and experience. While there is one photo of you on your webpage, there is none on your blog (just this cool, hip, woman in bootlegged jeans which you do NOT own, I know. :-). But then there are these two pictures of Kyle and Ally (and they are named) on your webpage. It's not the blending of personal and professional; it's WHAT you choose to share about the personal that was interesting to me. This is something we'll have to discuss more in person...
