2004/01/08 Meeting
Although it is a good two weeks away, it might be nice to start thinking about the next meeting and how we want to set the stage for the new year. Possible topics:
- Planning for Hank Barry’s visit on January 22
- Dave wants to talk about efforts to establish a center for blogging and related technology at Harvard
- How about Dave’s new feed feature?
- How should we submit this group blog to the feed feature? (Whose name and e-mail address should we use? Will using an e-mail address again erase a previous entry?)
- A report from the first blog training at MIT? (Bob also has notes.)
- Humor in the blogging environment: how to express sarcasm and humor to blog readers
- Does Dave want to talk about the RSS conference on January 21-22?
- j might want to talk about her RSS article if she can get a draft together in 2 weeks (ha ha ha fat chance of that: j defers until next week)
- Where are we going to eat?
- “How about at a restaurant?” typed j sarcastically.
- We just ate at The Bombay Club.
- There’s that pizza place Veggie Planet that has vegan options. I hear you can get dairy-based cheese if you ask for it. (Burt notes in the comments that Vegan pizza is merely available.)
- While the students are away, we could try some places that are usually very crowded, like … ?
- What about 9 Tastes (inexpensive, but good Thai food. May not be able to accommodate more than 10 of us, though.) on JFK Street? Spice is also good Thai, but a bit more expensive. (They may be able to better accommodate 10 or more.)
- I’m pretty sure Grafton Street has vegan entrees, definitely vegetarian items, and Michael could get a beer. Good price range on the menu.
- The Redline on JFK Street is similar.
- “How about at a restaurant?” typed j sarcastically.

Small correction – Veggie Planet is definitely not a vegan place. The cheese is mostly dairy. They do have a few vegan options, but it’s very much a lacto-ovo place.

I go to Grafton Street almost every week with my writing class (almost over though) – it’s mostly pretty pricey for the type of food it is (dressed-up pub grub). They are good with groups though.

Well done Jay, as usual, with one slight correction. Dave seems to prefer that you go first, next week, with your methods demo, which works out good for me, as I have promised to help Andrew with the next MIT class, which happens next Thursday at our meeting time,
Maybe we can arrange some live connectivity between the MIT session and the Berkman meeting. That would be cool, although I have no idea about how to go about it…..
