[Inspired by a blog entry from ellipticcurve<\/a>]<\/font><\/p>\n

Quite a few new folks have friended me of late; I’ve friended most of them back. A few I’m still monitoring to see if I want to read their posts on a regular basis; others I tend to read regularly anyway as part of FOAF (Friend of a Friend) reading. In any case, welcome. I figured I’d take a few minutes to explain who everyone is around here.<\/p>\n

First and foremost: gf_guruilla<\/a> (Karen) is my wife. She occasionally posts something, but primarily has an account so I can refer to her. Small & Feisty (S&F) is our daughter, who is 93<\/sup>\/4<\/sub> going on either 30 or 6, depending on her mood. ixixlix<\/a> (Lauren) is our best friend; her son (the Karate Kid) has grown up with our daughter.<\/p>\n

The other friends form into distinct circles, for the most part, although I’ve noticed that they actually are interconnected in interesting ways.<\/p>\n

(Circle #1) ellipticcurve<\/a> (Nicole) is a coworker of mine; we met a little over a year ago when she started here and became friends very quickly. She introduced me to Live Journal. Through her (and her friends list), I’ve gotten to know barelyproper<\/a> (who I’ve met in person), gyesika<\/a> and her husband profstevie<\/a> (who I’ve met in person), mertuil<\/a>, japlady<\/a> and kerinda<\/a> (who I met through mertuil<\/a>‘s friends list), ailurodragon<\/a>, internet_addict<\/a>, satyrlovesong<\/a> (who is a friend of quite a few of these folks, including barelyproper<\/a>). magicpacket<\/a> used to work with me. I also know bellwethr<\/a> through work.<\/p>\n

(Circle #2) I run a mailing list called mail.liberal-judaism<\/a>. From an announcement on that list, cellio<\/a> (Monica) friended me. Through her, I’ve gotten to know aliza250<\/a>, estherchaya<\/a>, ginamariewade<\/a>, lordandrei<\/a>, mortuus<\/a>, and tuluum<\/a>. Many of these folks, it turns out, have known of me through my Usenet activities.<\/p>\n

(Circle #3). I’m also a roadgeek, and through the roadgeek circles, I know transitfan<\/a>. From this circle of interest, I met jumbach<\/a>, lunza<\/a>, patgund<\/a>, stuck_in_ma<\/a>, starowl<\/a>, and dennisthetiger<\/a>. <\/p>\n

I think that covers everyone on my current friends list. There are a few additional folks that have friended me that I’m monitoring, but they all seem to come from one of these three circles.<\/p>\n

Lastly, I’m working on using my userpics to make it easy to identify the rough content of posts. Hopefully that helps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
