Well, as I bounced back from Melbourne to come here in Norfolk for a break, I decided to meet up with some friends and venture back to the ole’ 2600 at Pembroke. None-the-less some new faces were there.

We (Dave, Tele, and myself) arrived there and met up with John. Soon after, two new peeps showed up, followed by Jameson. I must say, we had some really cool discussions on the mind-twisting Derren Brown, quantum mechanics, fractals, etc. Afterwards, we took a nice stroll around Town Center.

It’s great to see the meeting is still kicking. A prime number is the word count for this very post.

May 1, and we still had a crowd. In attendance (initial seating order, no we are not sheeple) was RD, Dane, Dane’s Wife’s Eeeeeeeee, Dave, Sunpuke, Beck, and myself. Okokok, so an Eee does not really constitute as a living being, or does it? Since we only have a vague idea of what constitutes life…. probably has some carbon in there too.

The meeting was great, mall was quiet, and only a handful of people had their protective respiration masks on (ok actually no one had a mask on afaik). There was lots of talk. And talk of? Ahh many topics, I balk at providing actual topic data since. Anyways, even though we were not at a single round-table, our linear table arrangement worked well by leaving a gap between the tables. A linear configuration does not necessarily strengthen communication between nodes, as if we were some graph; However, our graph morphs by letting the nodes move around, and we can control the ordering and amplitude of our voices to accomplish the goals of expressing thoughts. This assumes that words really are a medium that is sufficient for exposing all data in a thought.

Where was tele? He caught up with the Raleigh 2600 crew, so hopefully they had a cool time too.
