Nights at the Round Table
Tonight was the night of our semimonthly blogger non-Meetup at
Barefoot Coffee Roasters in... Cupertino? It was the usual congenial
group around the big round table, with the conversation racing hither
and yon as it is wont to do. I was among the few not taking advantage
of the free WiFi, which I grant is a lot easier if you actually have a
computer with you.
Elke and
Elasaid were blogging in
real time, as opposed to the imaginary, or at least complex, time in
which the rest of us dwell. I got to congratulate Elasaid about her
appearance, or at least the auditory equivalent, on an episode of
Cinecast, one of my favorite
podcasts. And also about her new job at Tivo, which will start in
another week or so. And Elke and I riffed on men's basic fear of
women, which I said explained why we never look women in the eye. Our
lowered gaze is out of respect and fear, not the mammary fixation of
which we're always accused. Hey, it's just a theory!
