My Dinner With Flickr

Boing Boing reader Ranjit Bhatnagar loves the internet photo-sharing
service Flickr so much, he cooked up an homage in polenta. "I'd love
to say it's in honor of Flickr's acquisition (or consumption?) by
Yahoo, but unfortunately I was a day early," the chef says.

At the end of a long meal, someone raised their glass and this
image could be seen. I instantly saw it for what it was -- a wonderful
blessing in the form of the Hamburglar showing that yes, he does
indeed exist and he is watching over us. Thank you Ronald McDonald,
for restoring my faith in McDonaldland.
I would sell it on eBay, but it dried out, as our time with the
Hamburglar among us was fleeting.

« A shrine to candle wax in the restaurant Kynsilaukka, the Finnish
equivalent to the Stinking Rose. »
I've begun to notice that restaurants and just about any place that
offers food and tables almost always have newspapers and magazines for
their patrons. These are, I presume, for those who are alone and want
something to read while eating instead of staring at the walls. Given
that a large percentage of the population in Finland lives alone, it
makes a certain amount of sense, but I still find it odd to gaze upon
a sea of tables occupied by people trying to read and stuff their
mouth at the same time, something I find quite difficult to do. I
don't remember too many places in the US, other than diners or
breakfast houses, that would offer newspapers for the patrons.
I always used to get take-away whenever I had no companion to dine
with as I viewed restaurants as a place to be social and would feel
very awkward were I alone. Sometimes I would take a book with me to a
local pub where I would sit at the bar, order a beer and a burger, and
read a little bit until someone would ask about the book or about work
or whatever just to start a conversation. I suppose I admire the
wherewithal it takes to take yourself out to eat, but there's
something incredibly lonely about it, too. Finns likely don't even
notice the silent ones in the corner munching away over the paper and
even if they did they'd likely think they want to be left alone. I
suppose they have to believe that.

Here is a conversation from the near future:
Bob: I am reading Don Park's Visual Thinking now. It's really
good.
Joe: Is that Park with an 's'?
Bob: No, just Park. Here. [Bob beams Joe Amazon URL]
Joe: Hmm. Reviews look good. OK, I ordered it.
Bob: ...
Joe: ...
On the surface, there seems to be nothing wrong. But notice
the type of question
being asked. With information at your fingertip, the need to
ask for information from
another person diminishes. So instead of asking about the
book, Joe is asking
about query terms. He could have also said “Could
You?“ and Bob
would have interpreted it as request to beam URL or search words.
I don't know about you, but it seems like technology is eating away
at the meat of
everyday social life, leaving just the bare bones.
In respect to blogging, I wonder how blogging affects a person's
life. More
opinionated? Less inquisitive about other people's opinions
because they are
already exposed to a wide range of opinions online? Nice
chewy topic I think.

Spam for dinner
Spam for dinner
01/22/2004 03:02 AMI'm at a dinner where we're talking about spam. There are high
level execs from many of the companies involved in email. One person
said that he thought we've seen the worst of spam and that it's
getting better. It's too bad I can't quote people with attribution,
because I think this is a totally unreasonable position.
We've now moved on to Internet governance and as usual, I haven't
heard a single opinion that convinces me that email isn't broken and
that it isn't just getting worse. We talked about pay to send, better
filters, re-inventing smtp, regulations... all of the usual. Yet
another fruitless discussion about spam. (yafudas). 17% of legitimate
email is not delivered. 81% of people in a recent survey are afraid of
false positives.

Dinner with Bill
Dinner with Bill
07/30/2004 11:52 AMJeff Maurone, an intern at Microsoft, shares his experience having dinner at Bill Gates' home.
Further and further you descend, past what seems to be an
annex library, as it was certainly not the primary librarian that
houses the Leicester Codex (Bill's original DaVinci notebook, for
which he paid approx $30.8 million). Elegantly non-intrusive but
screaming geekhood were sparsely placed digital canvases that, ever so
often, changed the artwork on the wall. We passed the movie theatre,
rumored to be the most advanced movie theatre in the world. Finally,
we reached the bottom level of the entertaining portion of the home.
To the left was a room with a design so powerful that it could only
exist in the home of the richest man in the world.
After hearing about the security surrounding the house and the
amount of work Bill does, it makes me appreciate the ability to sit on
my back porch, eat a popsicle, and watch the sun set.

05/04/2004 03:42 AM
On my last night in Amsterdam for this trip, I had dinner with
Adam Curry at a meat house that reminded me of a bar in Mazomanie, WI,
many many years ago. We had meat and beer. So did everyone else.
It's really interesting walking around Amsterdam with Adam, who
is a very famous person here. People stare at him. Ask for his
autograph. I get some of the reflected glory, who is that guy with the
rock star? It's a pretty unusual thing for me.
Anyway, we talked about next things to do. It was good to get
some one-on-one time with Adam this trip. Now it's off the Schipol,
the Amsterdam airport, to go back to Boston, and whatever adventures
await me there.

If you were going to invite 10 bloggers for dinner, whom would you invite?
John, of
J-Walk Blog decided to start this new parlor game for bloggers. I
tripped across it in the 1/31/05 post on
Reality Carnival. It's a pretty good way to find the bloggers
that the most fascinating bloggers find most fascinating. (Did that
make sense?) The best bloggers define their own personal Best of the
Web.

about.
My friend Kenny Schaffer has

07/28/2004 09:41 AMJeff Maurone: Are you beginning to feel like you are in Myst
(the video game), because I was.
guess who's coming to dinner?
guess who's coming to dinner?
06/04/2004 12:38 PMI talk about this in more depth in Just A Geek, but for years I lived
with a very profound sense of shame. The huge acting career that I'd
hoped for when I left
Star Trek never happened, and as I grew
through my twenties, I realized just what an epic asshole I'd been
throughout my teenage years. Regret was a constant companion, and it
was very hard for me to face friends and family, because I felt like
I'd let everyone down.
Of course, that wasn't the case. I had most certainly let
myself down, but to the people who loved me, how I was doing in
my career was unimportant. It took me several years to get over
myself, (to follow that process in every excruciating detail, just go
back to the beginning of WWdN's archives, and start reading) but once
I finally did, I realized how many years I just . . . wasted.
So last week, I called my mom. I've talked with her before about my
feelings of disappointment, shame and regret, and I recalled that
conversation.
"So now that I'm over all of that, I feel good, and happy, and at
peace with my life and career . . ."
"It's good that I can separate my life and my career. There's a
lesson I wish I'd learned ten years ago." I thought.
" . . . and I realize how much I miss seeing you and dad," I said.
"I'd like to make an effort to do more things together."
