The global internet. Local villages. The intersections of these two very differently-scaled neighbourhoods of mine.
I'm in Toronto right now. Roro and I went to dinner at C'est What with Lex. At the table next to us were Sean and Mark. Introductions went like this ...
Mark, meet MyNameIsKate. Kate, this is remarkk.
Lex, this is Craphammer. Sean .. she's unsweetened.
Mark, this is Creampuff Revolution.
Damn, I wish I had my Moo cards.
I know, I left my Gaping Void cards at the hotel.
Actually, we need a better word for it than "introductions". Because we all knew each other ... but not necessarily our embodied selves. I haven't "embodied-tion" someone I only know as an avatar yet, but it is only a matter of time.
