When I was at South Station in Boston yesterday, a homeless man came up to me on the platform and asked if I had $0.75 so he could buy some water. He claimed that the water in Boston was contaminated and seemed surprised when I said I had no idea what he was talking about. I got myself out of the conversation by saying I didn’t have any change, which was true, and went back inside. Then I...
ROFLCon dramatically shortened my list of Internet people I have to meet.
Also, second time I missed a chance to say something to Caterina Fake… Not sure what I would say…”I really liked Flickr for a couple of years, then stopped using it… Hunch seems neat…”
