I am subscribed and will keep up with your posts. Unlike des6877, I believe you are right about the years of Generation X - approximately from 1961-1981. I put up a post on the topic on my blog about <a href="http://www.thegenxfiles.com/2009/02/10/does-generation-jones-exist/" rel="nofollow">whether Generation Jones Exists</a>. Let me know what you think! Great to see another Gen X blogger! I am subscribed and will keep up with your posts.

You've got it right that the GenX birth years started in the late-1960s; I believe the first year is 1966, although I recently read a pretty compelling case for 1968. Relevantly, as many influential voices have repeatedly noted, Obama--born 1961--is part of Generation Jones, born 1954-1965, between the Boomers and Generation X. Google Generation Jones, and you'll see it’s gotten a ton of media attention, and many top commentators from many top publications and networks (Washington Post, Time magazine, NBC, Newsweek, ABC, etc.) specifically use this term to describe Obama. Here is a recent op-ed about GenJones as the new generation of leadership in USA TODAY: http://www.usatoday.com/printedition/news/20090127/column27_st.art.htm Cool blog…congrats.
