03/13/2003 Archived Entry: "An apple a day (won't) keep the Doc away"
So I went out for a few (expensive) good beers and some (excessively) expensive bits of meat with a bunch of blogger guys tonight at the Academy of Spherical Arts. Doc Searls was there. Apparently he's some big-ass blogging guy. ;-). Nah, I know who he is, I'm just kidding. He seems pretty nice actually, but a bit obsessed with his gadgets (itty bitty cell phone, infrared DVCam, Titanium, etc). Joey, the acordian guy was there. Played a little AC/DC on his box. Michael O'Conner Clarke - who has a wicked English accent and knows all about renovating a rotten floor. Tim Aiello, who I've met a few times before - and looks much younger than he actually is. A couple of guys from Tucows. Brent Ashley (thanks for the ride home - you're the best!) invited me.
My husband thinks I'm a geek - he should meet these guys. Wow. They were talking about stuff I'd never, ever heard of. For the first time in a long time I couldn't even remotely follow a good lot of the conversation. Mostly technology stuff from before I hit high school - so I guess I shouldn't feel too bad. But still. Wow. Do they know a lot or what. Whew, I'm tired just remembering it.
