Links Leaking All Over Time!

In Due Time

We went exploring and some could say we got lost in time at Tuesday Open Comments Night, last night. We were set on going forward in time until Renée mentioned going back and then back was the favorite way to go.

The Link Leak Virus apparently crosses time as well as space. — The Link Leak Virus is a special strain of the indie virus with blogtipping mutations that occur in threes at Open Comment Night they become a link free-for-all.

Welcome to all of the new folks who came. It was a great time having you!

Cool links were shared time after time.

A Good Time Was Had . . . By All

Trisha would rather explore with the Doctor than Dora. She figures that traveling to the past to visit would be fun, but she wouldn’t want to live there.
BJ would rather go forward than backward — can’t live without the Internet. She was also heard saying My bedroom has been taken over by aliens. I collect vintage SciFi. I think I have every time travel paradox that exists ensconsed on one of my bookshelves.

Doug launched which isn’t the same as exploring, but it seems that way,
and it went well enough with the top secret project SeanRox was working on.

Robert Bruce would be dead by 3 days old from disease, late 1800’s American frontier. You know, Smith and Wesson on the hip, 12 gauge on the saddle.
katiebird would like to travel to the future as long as she could come back here to visit….
Char doesn’t think she could go back too many years in time - what would I do with out the Internet?

Rick is set for the future because it would be bad losing toilet paper and toothpaste, and various other things we take for granted. He knew what he was talking about — I go with the Many Worlds Theory, Joe, so I think you already did it and it created another world. Look at that! You get to be a murderer and a god at the same time.

Renée had a reason to go back in time — The first place/people I want to go is my maternal great grandma era. . . . I would like spent a few months with her, learn those skills she had cultivated.

Ben was traveling by train and his train didn’t give him much time to stay.

Starbucker was exploring musical moments in history — when the Beatles were on the Ed Sullivan show. All those screaming kids -wow.
Cat provided the recipe for how to break your toe in no time at all.

Meikah asked a question which got a new conversation going — Wonder who I was in my past life?
Joe asked another and had his own answer — Why does everyone want to go into the past?
I would rather be “Buck Rogers in the 25th Century”.

Mike thought he had Joe with this comment — Having lived my whole life in the past, I can say with some surety that it’s overrated. — He was just kidding.
Chris thinks he’d like to go have a chat with some of the American revolutionaries.

Leon thought the mixing of comments was time travel fun.
Carolyn thought she should reset her clock.
Delaney went back in real time to see Pink Floyd.
Ah Pek was looking for a flashlight to go exploring.

Hans showed up some time past bedtime for me.

And the rest is history.

    So Liz,

    How’s it going?

    I’m presuming from the fact that people left links that we can embed HTML in comments?

    Thanks for the nice mention, and you know how to design a great experience for all of us.

    Hi Mike,
    Long day today, but a fun one!

    I liked your post on productive irreverence. It’s once of my favorite things.

    Thanks, Liz!

    It was like being hit by a bolt of lightning when I read Lisa’s post. “Somebody understands me!!!”

    Pleasant dreams and we’ll talk to your tomorrow. I’m scribbling an opus on experience design and look forward to your comments.

    So how do I put a link a comment?

    ME Strauss said

    Very thoughtfully. :)

    I sent you an email explaining. :)

    Liz, sorry I missed the fun the other night. I was struggling with site re-design (which I hope is now complete). Take a look when you get a chance.

    Holy Scorpia!!!
    Even a quick glance is wonderful. I’m grinning from what I see. :)

    Liz,

    That e-mail hasn’t showed up yet. Did you mean U.S. mail? ;-)

    thanks for the link leak Liz. I don’t know whether that sounds a good review but I’ll try improving myself.

    too great now I’ll be hanging around when I can on those Tuesday Night mic. I’ll try to make it earlier then and hope to bring something to the discussion ;)

    Hi Liz,

    On what other blog can you go back and forth in time, around the world, and into alternate universes?

    ME Strauss said

    Wow, Rick, I never thought of it that way. I guess, you’ve really got a point there! :)

    @Mike

    If you use Firefox, get your hands on bbCodeExtra, it adds a small context menu that makes using the xhtml tags a breeze, like Bold/Italics/Underline/URL, etc

    Hey Techz,
    Thanks for pointing to something useful and for leaving the link so we don’t have to go searching . . . ;)
