I fly back home on Friday morning unless I can't get everything done on Thursday. Then I'll push back a few hours, I guess. Amusingly, the hotel room costs more than the flight does. Yeay! for cheap air fares on the SJC to JFK route. Anyway... Are there any New Yorkers reading my blog who want to meet up for dinner on... Dinner with DocDinner with Doc 06/30/2004 07:40 AM Doc came over for dinner a couple of nights ago. We came up with a killer plan for spam, found a way to enable file sharing while ensuring fair compensation for artists, and whiteboarded the single epithet that ensures the defeat of Bush in 2004. Unfortunately, the dinner was off-blog, so you'll just have to take my word for it. Doc on the verge of Solving All Problems... Dinner for OneDinner for One 03/22/2005 04:40 PM
« 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. Spam for dinnerSpam for dinner 01/22/2004 03:02 AM I'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. The bl0gger who came to dinnerThe bl0gger who came to dinner 02/06/2005 01:09 AM 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. [Warning- proceed only if you have several hours to kill!] Dinner with AdamDinner with Adam 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. Geek Dinner ThanksGeek Dinner Thanks 01/16/2004 10:59 AM Thanks much to the 20 or so geeks who came out to The House of Orient last night for the Geek Dinner. I snapped a few pics that didn't come out terribly well. Oh, and you'll see a few folks have already pinged the original post with TrackBacks to their write-ups too. As others have noted, most folks seemed to know fewer than 4 or 5 other people there, so there were a lot of interesting discussions. Several folks... Dinner with AndroidDinner with Android 01/19/2004 02:53 AM Here is a conversation from the near future:
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.

My Dinner With FlickrMy Dinner With Flickr 03/22/2005 05:01 PM Xeni Jardin: 
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.

my house for dinner last night. (He was in town to appear on G4 TechTV
to talk about his new book, Game Console Hacking.) He showed me a bunch of
his amazing electronic projects, which I'll be mentioning soon on Make's new blog.
Joe also told me about his cross country trip to relocate from Boston to San Diego, and he pointed me to his journal about the trip. It's a fun read, and I love this picture he took of a cool UFO house in Chattanooga, TN. Link BlogOn DinnerBlogOn Dinner 07/19/2004 06:45 PM Looking forward to BlogOn later this week in Berkeley.

Dinner with BillDinner with Bill 07/30/2004 11:52 AM Jeff 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.
