Yes the Mic Will Be on Tonight

The Topic is: What Would You Do With $100 Million?

How would that impact your life? We might talk about when we would claim the money — right away or after some thought — how much money $100 Million is really worth, whether to hire an investment consultant, whether to work or run a business, what we’d buy, where we’d travel, what we’d give away, and what we’d do about expectations from friends and relatives. I bet we have 100 million ideas in our vision , . .

The rules are simple — be nice.

Guess What We Discovered!

Along with the memory and hard drives, there are pages of email, novels, spam, dust-bunnies, stars, nebula, water, poetry and music made from words that all live inside our computers.

If you’re in the market to purchase, will it be HP, Dell or Toshiba and laptop or desktop? The price of monitors is low but do you want a 17″, 19″ or 22″ and is it better to build your own or unpack and go? Maybe go with what you want and need and don’t worry too much about the brand.

There might have been more talk about music, health, tap dancing, weather, dessert, SAHDs, trips, acronyms, karaoke, disco, coffee, movies, cleaning, company, MTV, Akismet, widgets, walking, and family than computers. And of course, we shared Klondike Bars and poetry.

Here’s some of the links we shared:

• Kinks
• Char’s Office
• Casey Kasem
• Herman’s Hermits
• Barry Manilow
• Bono
• Service Untitled

Special thanks to Joe for holding the fort down when I couldn’t be here at the beginning. You’re my hero! And a special apology to Robert and Steven — I’m sorry I didn’t close down the announcement post. I hate it when I do that!

Thanks to everyone for the cool links and for being part of the conversation. Bring more links next week and we’ll post them again. I wish I could quote you all, but I know you have an idea of how much time it takes.

So, for 2007, we’ll just tell the story and share the links that you bring.

After all, how DO YOU explain Open Comment Night, if you’ve never experienced it?

See you next Tuesday? We sure hope so.

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

We’re inside our computers!!!

We might also talk about

• files
• music
• photos
• poetry
• novels
• thoughts
• stories
• dreams
• resumes, and
• whatever else comes up,

including THE EVER POPULAR,
Basil the code-writing donkey.
