Heading to New York and TBEX '10

My principal job as a web developer means that don’t need an office and I can work anywhere in the world. While I enjoy working my own hours, not wearing a tie or answering phones, most of my work related social interaction occurs online.

This week I will be hanging up my cloak of virtual anonymity and be meeting my travel blogging peers at the Travel Blog Exchange TBEX ’10 in New York City.

I don’t need an excuse to visit New York, so visiting for this much anticipated travel event is a great double.

I Am Not My Avatar

When I represent myself online I usually use my Nomadic Notes Avatar. I do this for 2 reasons:

1) Branding
2) I can’t be bothered keeping my face picture up to date across dozens of social media sites.

Nomadic Notes Avatar

That does mean though that when I go to industry events I usually have to introduce myself as “James Clark…Nomadic Notes”.

So if you are going to TBEX’ 10, this is what I look like. Look out for me and say hi. You may have to introduce yourself by your real name and your user name as well.

Yours truly, Laviating.
