Gen X'ers unite!
Tuesday, August 19, 2008
When I posted a few days ago on some changes I had noted in the blogosphere, there was one site I didn't know about at the time but want to mention now. It's Jennifer McCollum's JenX67 blog, which looks at the characteristics of Generation X and some of the peculiar challenges that Gen X'ers face.
I found out about Jen's blog because of a project she has started to locate and highlight 50 Gen X bloggers in all 50 states of the union. She writes this about her project:
"I am on a quest to link to 50 Generation X Bloggers - one for each of the fifty states ... Through this project I hope to facilitate dialogue among a diverse group of Gen Xers, and do my small part to instill pride in my generation. I want to grow our collective courage to live our time. We're long overdue. Onward Gen X."
I'm particularly interested in what Jen is doing because of the Gen X theme of her writing, but even if she was doing something totally different, her site would be well worth visiting just because of the creativity she has put into it. I'll be happily adding it to my favorites.

Just a little thought...depending upon whose definition you utilize I qualify as being the tail end of the baby boomer generation or the very beginnings of gen-x. Weird.
Regarding the above comment from Carl, I found numerous sources for the age of Generation X. I actually need to change it from 62-84 to 61-84. I am encompassing all the years anyone with any authority has defined the generation in terms of birth years to be.
Thank you for highlighting my project. I can't tell you what a great addition you are to the list. Also, my husband really liked the article on the church and consumerism/church as a product. There is an article in the Korea Times about Gen X in China you need to check out. It talks about Gen X in China growing up without God.
