I'm a Dork Overlord

[trochee]

yesterday I went to my first Dorkbot [Seattle] Overlords meeting. (I've been telling everyone that I'm now a Dork Overlord, which is. so. cool.)

Fun plans for the next few -- February's should be a pair of interesting movies, which might not be everyone's cup-of-tea, and March will probably be Retro Dork: talks from the dawn of computing and retrofits. But what I'm most excited about is April's plans: Lightning Dork, a sort of show-and-tell where we hope to have two or three "heats" of five-minute talks, separated by breaks for socialization. (Part of the fun: hard time limits, which will keep the interesting stuff peppy and the boring stuff blessedly short.)

I'm feeling much more comfortable in my life today than I have the last few; today I feel like I'm recognizing the power of being connected to my own emotions. It's a nice place to be, though it's consistently a struggle.

...and yeah, I think the Lightning Dork (I like that name - let's use it) will be fun, both because it's an interesting format in itself and because it's a little too long since we've messed with the format of our meetings.

thank you Eldan!

and looking forward to working with you.

"Lightning Dork" is so silly, but that's kinda awesome in itself.

You are such the perfect dork overlord.

come over to the dork side.

wait, I think you already are. But you'll have to come to some of the Seattle dorkbot sessions whenever you're in town.
