Bleu Oleander: amazing changes of characters
Eliza Madrigal: I still think of him as the local kid on 21 Jump Street, hah
Eden Haiku: Yes, he's everywhere but I LOVE this one!
Riddle Sideways: yes, so different in each
Bleu Oleander: I loved him as the mad hatter :)
Bleu Oleander: I didn't see that one Eden
Eliza Madrigal: that looks intense...hadn't heard of it
Eden Haiku: He plays a character who calls himself William Blake and nobody there knows the poet so he's incognito.
Bleu Oleander: will have to rent that one
Eliza Madrigal: "accountant William Blake"
Eden Haiku: Funny, in a checkered suit. The end is majestic, with a boat covered in flowers....In black and white.
Eden Haiku: He seems to be such a charmer, you are so lucky you met him in person Bleu :)
Eliza Madrigal: yes :)
Bleu Oleander: was great!
Bleu Oleander: posted a nice photo on FB
Eden Haiku: Still not on FB. Resisting!

Eden Haiku: Ah for the salons and so on?
Bleu Oleander: keeps me in touch with my nieces
Bleu Oleander: yes and the salons
Eliza Madrigal: have loved the reconnections possible through fb, but it is also something full of lots of strings to maintain
Eden Haiku: I miss a lot of photos of my great-nieces and great-nephews....
Eliza Madrigal: people rarely send out actual photos now
Riddle Sideways: however people take a lot more photos now
Eliza Madrigal: :) this is true

--BELL--
Eden Haiku: Leet speak is L33T 5P34 K....
druth Vlodovic: afaik it was designed to get around technology which searches for keywords in messages

Riddle Sideways: reading up on IEML now
Eden Haiku: Will be used by computers in the future...
Eden Haiku: It's a fascinating object. I read this grammar as a poetry book :)
druth Vlodovic: l33t is funny because it sounds like it was designed to get around oppressive police states, but is used by gamers to sound cool
Eden Haiku: Oh is it? Any connection with your police officer outfit druth?
Riddle Sideways: by geeks to sound nerdy? :)
druth Vlodovic: initially IEML sounds like trying to read an article by following all the links
druth Vlodovic: avoiding sounding like noobs :-P
Eden Haiku: Yes, a labyrinth....
druth Vlodovic: everything can be used for social capital
Eden Haiku: Yes, social capital is one of the levels :)
Eden Haiku: and one of the values associated with social networks is trust.
Riddle Sideways: shot, haven't even got the computer of the future built yet and there an advanced language for it already

Riddle Sideways: maybe to much for retirement
druth Vlodovic: what is the project?
Eden Haiku: Ah I see....Hope you will enjoy working on the first half of the contract Riddle!
Riddle Sideways: it is a super secure messaging protocol
Riddle Sideways: that was built 10 years ago for secure private email

Eden Haiku: Aww...
Riddle Sideways: it had a lot of silicon valley street and building names throughout

Synchronicities
druth Vlodovic: oh, it's law of attraction
druth Vlodovic: you ever make use of it?
Eden Haiku: Law of attraction,...ah....synchronicities I like better
druth Vlodovic: how does that work?
Eden Haiku: So many unconscious levels in us isn't it?
druth Vlodovic: we are multitudes
Eden Haiku: Just noticing patterns in ways things turn out...catching your attention, unfolding. What about you? Do you "use" the law of attraction?
druth Vlodovic: not deliberately
druth Vlodovic: haven't developed a "method" for life really
Eden Haiku: Neither I :)
druth Vlodovic: is the examined life worth living?
Eden Haiku: Noticed a strange synchronicity a few days ago (well, they all are strange)
druth Vlodovic: oh?
Eden Haiku: Good question :)
Eden Haiku: Writing an essay for a literary magazine that was founded in 1976. The subject is about year 1976 as we remember it. A focal point or otherwise
druth Vlodovic: ok
Eden Haiku: So I have been writing for a few weeks and suddenly I decided to give it a title I already used in a previous work
Eden Haiku: Reading then the previous essay (aboutt 40 pages long) I found a paragraph
Eden Haiku: which I could understand only now. About something that happened 40 years ago...
Eden Haiku: Still struggling to understand the meaning of all that, so it's still confused....
Eden Haiku: A lot more clarifying work to do...
Eden Haiku: I went to bed wishing about insights but ended up waking up at 5 in the morning...With no insights :)
druth Vlodovic: 5am is a good time to wander down for coffee, laying in is seldom as rewarding as we seem to believe in our hearts
Eden Haiku: Nice :)
druth Vlodovic: I end up getting a lot of synchronicity in OF meetings,
Eden Haiku: Do tell
druth Vlodovic: maybe it's just that people are more alike in experiences when they are being open and honest
druth Vlodovic: oh, it's all confidential :P
Eden Haiku: I see
druth Vlodovic: we're going to have to get riddle to lock the archives for us
--BELL--
Eden Haiku: But you are not recording OF are you?
druth Vlodovic: no
Eden Haiku: Ah, you were joking :)
druth Vlodovic: just being facetious
druth Vlodovic: things always seem more important and bigger when we don't talk about them much
druth Vlodovic: funny, right after the divorce proceedings started I kept finding my horoscope to be relevant in weird ways, but not before or since
druth Vlodovic: not sure if that sort of thing fits the bill
druth Vlodovic: eh, got to run
druth Vlodovic: have fun eden
Eden Haiku: You could as well read any book any time and find quotes that seem synchronistic :)
Eden Haiku: Bye druth, Have a nice day
