@rnv I can’t get enough of these snow shots. If I do the same from my window there are two versions: dry and wet. That’s it. Feeling a bit envious.

@maique Envy is a two-way street, friend! All your photos of Lisbon are, without exception, stunning. (But we tend to grow a little numb to what’s familiar, don’t we? So having someone far away react with a wow! to our normal is just the jolt we need to remember to pay better attention.)

@rnv Thank you 😊 And you’re right, the “Wow” factor makes us look at our reality with a new set of eyes.

@rnv you must live somewhere in the same region as me as I could have posted the same type of pictures. Just crazy. Kind of glad today is more rain than snow as I am hoping it all melts away soon before real winter.

@ericmwalk Possibly; I’m in south Minneapolis. There’s a surprisingly large population of Micronauts in the greater Metro, and the region. Whereabouts are you?

@rnv Eden Prairie and yes I am starting to figure out there is a quite a few of us from the area on here.

@rnv @ericmwalk @patrickrhone @dynamitemoth is there a list of Twin Cities microbloggers? Maybe we should make one.

@jthingelstad I have one somewhere, probably outdated, probably incomplete. I’ll look for it.

@jthingelstad @patrickrhone Here's a quick page I just put up with all the MN & regional Micronauts whom I had, as of about a year ago, been able to discover. It was already a little outdated; some have since left us. Who am I missing?

@stevesnider Take a look at this list, see if I'm missing anyone.

@rnv Well, I just discovered @doctorpundit last night while perusing the Discover section. He's in Saint Paul.

@patrickrhone just added @doctorpundit and also reminded me to that @mrock911 should be in the list.

@jthingelstad Ha, that reminded me, too. Both added. Also, I believe @sproutlight is somewhere within the broadcast range of MPR, but I’m not sure.

@rnv also ping @manton and @macgenie that finding people in your same city would be a nice capability for micro.blog. Maybe if search could search users about info?

@jthingelstad I think this is one of the reasons why @macgenie & @manton encourage people to fill in their “About” fields when they join up. Do you knit? Are you a Trekkie? Are you yet another resident of the Twin Cities? etc.

The real question is: How searchable are our About blurbs?

It would be interesting if we had the choice to add latitude & longitude coordinates (as general or precise as you were comfortable with) to our profiles somehow, so you could see who's near you, sort of like how Metafilter does it.

(edited to add: I love how we can edit replies now!)

@rnv Yes! Tragically, I moved just over the river, but I am in sneezing distance of MN, the home of my heart.

@sproutlight If you can tune into an MPR station, you are one of us! If you can make it to the State Fairgrounds on a single tank of gas, you are one of us! (Okay, even you can't do either of those, you are one of us!)

@rnv It appears my handle is misspelled. Should be @ddykstal. Rochester MN.

@ddykstal Apologies! I knew it must be misspelled, but I only caught it just before going to bed, resolving to investigate in the morning. Fixed!
