I had a great time last night at Murphy's. Only about a dozen of the 33 guests showed up, and our host was not among them (Emrecall, I want my ./ t-shirt), but we still had a good time. We were an interesting group, having among us 2 patent clerks, 3 Lockheed Martin employees, a kilted GMU doctoral student, a guy I went to high school with but didn't know until last night, and a handful of others. As you may have noticed, I don't post much to my ./ journal, saving my public thoughts for my blog, but I'm doing a special entry to give my new friends a place to communicate with me.
