[FRIAM] Meeting of the Mother Church

Sun Jun 2 16:23:44 EDT 2019

Skype?  What’s Skype?  We’re in the Mosquito Infested Bog, here.  It’s a miracle that sunlight gets in here, let alone any RF.  I would prefer that the stimulating dialogue be sent to me as pony express dispatches.

I just pull my oversized tinfoil lined hoodie around my face while I yell loudly into my bluetooth earbuds...  otherwise those with AR glasses watching me can see tagclouds of my conversation coalescing and dissipating around my head as the conversation (d)evolves.    

I know, they have meds for this... I'm just not having any, thank you very much!

The one use I can see for in-person meetings is to prevent doing just that.   Put your mobile device in an RF-shielded box and then speak freely.

I can't believe you guys don't just Skype (FaceTime, GoogleHangout, Video IRC, ... ) Nick in on Fridays?  You can set the color balance on your screen so the green in the background doesn't hurt your eyes if you need to.

Oh, and then run the audio through an utterance recognition filter and generate a tag cloud so the rest of us can imagine the level of boisterousness for each topic that was generated.   A weighting could be added for intensifiers (primarily curse words) precluding each Subject or Object recognized?

Nick -

My father who grew up in the east but spent his adult life in the west used to say whenever he visited the east: "So green it hurts your eyes!"

Perhaps your ticks will eventually fill the niche our desert tortoises do out here?  Well, except with Lyme Disease instead of Salmonella.

Just to say … I am missing you all, already, and you haven’t even started to meet yet.  

Please take good notes.  Chilly and damp in the mosquito-infected bog.  You can walk across the lawn without getting your feet wet by stepping on the backs of the Lyme – ticks, big as paving stones.  Very …. VERY green.
