Noah! Tara! You NEVER call me anymore!
Come to think of it, you never called before.
You don’t even know me.
Never mind.

Noah I’d agree I’m not that important but I’ve been surprised how easy it’s been to meet many “more-important-than-me” people in the tech and travel sectors, though it seems to help a lot if you are at (sometimes expensive) conferences.

The exception to this was Bill Gates who I really admire due to his superbly great international development work but who was never out and about at the MIX06 conference. I can’t blame him though due to security issues.

I’m still counting on Tennis with Noah in 2007. Do you play table tennis?

After getting 4 emails I realized I should have put a disclaimer saying it is about no on in particular just more of a general thought…you are all safe:)

Well, let’s sit down soon. After DEMO is over, I should have an evening or two for that conversation and beer.

Seth Godin and Max Barry (author Syrup, Jennifer Government, Company) are two recent “celebrities” that have replied to my emails. It was very nice of them to ake the time to have a converstion with a poor teacher like myself.

I am still waiting for Rob Thomas, creator of Veronica Mar and former teacher, to reply to my questions. It has been a while, so I m losing hope.

My point is…I think reply time has alot to do with the person’s celebrity scale. When you go up the scale you are less likely to get a response. Not due to the fact they are a punk, but that they probably get thousands of emails a day. That is 365,000 people to reply to. Yikes!

see i think ‘networking’ is just a over-used term that carries less meaning as a result – but also stemmed from what noah’s all about. he actually is interested in more people and things that humanly appropriate (without the aid of stimulants)and as closely as it can be related to the presently undervalued N word, it IS – in his case – totally legitimate.

yeah I think I know what you mean. haha sorry about the N word.

I coulda just said “guy that likes to meet cool ppl” but yeah.

don’t really like the word and the whole concept myself. something about it is missing.

Tara it is nothing against you taking 6 years to respond to my email:) More just a general opinion about the way some people are and hopefully the way they can be. I still would love to sit down to see more about Riya one day…

Cap, I hope you know I hate the N word unless its the word Noah. Okay, that was dumb but I really can’t stand networking for networking. I take an active interest in meeting interesting people. Is that like calling a water boy an h2o engineer, kinda. Basically I like cool people and hope to meet you someday as well.
