Monthly dinner

Eme and Eric have a cool practice that is comfortably becoming a tradition: once a month they choose a restaurant and invite friends, and friends of friends. I've been meeting some pretty neat people this way, and getting to know some as I meet them over and over again. I love such gatherings that bring together a group that may otherwise never come together.

Anyhow, tonight I met Daniel, who is a fellow burner. We exchanged contact information, and before I knew it, he had pulled up Kokochi and got a picture of me to assign to my information. Now, that's technology doing what it should be - facilitating in a meaningful way how we meet and communicate with others.

I can't wait to see this become more automated...like I press my fingerprint on his device and my profile comes up. Or something like that. I know that is scary, and one should worry about privacy, but I do believe that technology can also provide layers of control so I'd scan only what I want when I want.

Anyhow, I'm rambling. I just enjoyed that moment. I was conscious that it was way more nifty than scribbling down numbers on a paper and stuffing it into a pocket.
