Goldendale Cabal Tomorrow
Geezer just had a kidney removed, so we’re making the pilgrimage to promote speedy recovery and “cabal it up” a bit.
Kungfu is in Spain giving 10^10 talks, Kosmic and Robustai are occupied, but Boudreau and I make a quorum (and GBE, if you want to skip work just text me [# is in GAL] before 8AM for a ride :-)).
I paused writing my private screed “Contra Sung Park” to get a recent pulse on the question of “When?” I’ve decided that “When?” is an irrelevant question when the answer is “inevitable”.
First evidence is the almost immediate response to Jon Udell’s “combining tag spaces“. A frequent cabal topic over the past 7+ years, from the “feedme” conversation last year, back all the way to before “tagging” was used by anyone other than taggers.
Second evidence is what’s going on with Robustai. I was admiring the developments at fastblogit since conceptualized at a distant cabal (well before Twitter, BTW), and thought to check what unemployed alum aaronsw is up to. Jottit! Jottit and fastblogit are like kissing cousins, perpetuating the same inevitability. There’s an important twist there that’s been consistent since day 1. Geezer will be proud.
