I turn me on. In fact, I never turn me off. I'm on when I'm at work, I'm on when I'm asleep. I'm on here, I'm on there, I'm on anywhere there is a connection to the internet. Today meant something different for everyone. For me, it was binary day. October 10th, 2010, or as the internet and all media coined it, "10.10.10". Today was about celebrating your digital self. This is the persona that the networked world sees. It's how google sees you, how facebook and twitter see you. It's the you that parents can see at any time of the day. It's how your ex-coworkers remember you and your future friends will evaluate you.
It is your digital yin to your analog yan.
These versions of yourself can closely represent each other or vastly differ in appearance, personality, even gender. Either way, they are projections of you. You digital self is just as important as your physical one. You digital self may actually live much longer than the one reading this right now. With that, we have to be at peace with how we are seen on the web and in life. Both are extensions of your essence, of your art, of your passions and pains.
Today, we celebrate ourselves in numbers. Two numbers to be exact. There is a spirituality to be found in the digital life as there is in the analog one.
One dream, zero doubt.
