The important thing is you guys set the standard with the idea this is not a one-time deal. Plus, we should prolly all meet eventually anyhow. The peeps I've met I have a lot of respect for and stay in touch with at varying levels.

Take pics and make a good presentation on GH. Maybe make a post or two while chomping pizza and farting.

YOU GUYS RULE!

you should have planned a little trip!
i'd say we could meet in the middle next time but that means we'd have to be in san luis obispo or fresno or something :(

THAT'S A GREAT IDEA!!!

Meet in San Luis Obispo! A couple local meets, then a REGIONAL!!! Damn! My vehicle carries 6 bodies.

I wish I could pull this off today. I'd really like to make it a big GH deal with a ton of great pics, and a few live posts, and a cool write up. I'd have member 'interviews' and have iMav make a separate sub forum. It would be official.

But I can't right now.

It's not gonna work for me. I could barely make it, but unprepared, and just very short on 'me' right now.
Overall things are looking up for me, though. But the timing has always been poor for this meeting date.

But I'm TOTALLY good with banging out a major meeting, with a focus/goal, heavily documented with my own write up/pics style. Make a GH newsletter out of it.

Of course you babies will need to be ok with me using you as cannon-fodder targets. It's what I do. I do it well.


I'm excited to see what you boys do...post TODAY!

Hall effect keyboard.  Strangely satisfying linear feel.


The awesomest, clickiest switch in existence.  Came out of a typewriter.

Mystery wiring in JWAZ's blue Monterey board.  Best guess from haata: NKRO tenkey hack

More than likely, next year, about this time, I'll have permanently moved to this area (at least longer than my usual 4 months...).
Which will mean I'll have my entire collection with me...
