Tomorrow, I get in my car to drive to Little Rock, Arkansas[1] to fly to San Francisco.
Last time I was in San Francisco was for last year’s Macworld. At the end of that trip, I wrote:
I’ve struggled with questions concerning online friendships in the past. This week, I learned that people I know from the Internet are real people and — more importantly — that our friendships are real, even though we don’t see each other most of the time.
This year, it’s different. While in 2012, I was unsure what it would be like meeting my “online friends,” this year, I can’t wait to get there and have a beer with some of my buddies.
- Even though Memphis is the busiest cargo airport in the US, commercial flights continue to get cut while the remaining ones become more expensive. Thankfully, Little Rock is a nice city and I have friends there. They have a bidet. I’m sort of afraid to use it. I mean, on paper at least, it seems really weird. Wait, what were we talking about? ↩
