@chbenchen – yes, I agree – it is certainly a wonderful compliment to the whole system and pulls it all together in a rather unconventional way. I’ve read the Neal Stephenson, who is one of the founding visionaries for Long Now, is something of a tea fan himself. In fact, some of his novels have detailed descriptions of the characters enjoying tea…[Read more]

Nice! I let out a little sigh though, because I want to be there. All that fun and excitement of everyone getting together. Sounds like great fun.

I hope someone posts a little bit about Roberts reading and get together there.

I think we can actually do better than that. There is so much information that can come out of the Expo that it would be hard to follow and discuss in a single thread.  So, I’ve created a new dedicated forum for the topic where all Expo related posts, promotions, discussions and chatter can go.

Hopefully we can get it promoted and get some…[Read more]
