Your blog is great. Thanks for sharing this story. It’s like reading a book and later meeting one of the characters!

Enjoying all your work; I agree that the internet is enormous, and it is also very small and homey. Cool find of Kirsty S. at your presentation!

And I thought I was in e-overload with a simple email I received today in response to an e-vite to a tree-trimming party in Grosse Pointe, MI next week:

Greetings from Kathmandu,
I will bring some fresh fruit.

Great human story. Truly amazing. It’s an interesting questions that since the concept of 6 degrees of separation was first put forward social networks have grown. Perhaps we have lowered the number.

Anyways, I loved the story.

It’s somewhat like me reading your blog for a number of years, watching one of your flickr presos, and seeing Gardner Campbell’s pic. You don’t know who the heck I am. Gardner? Wait, his band played at my wedding reception in June. Gardner, whose blog I know follow, and who will speak at my school soon. Hey, Alan knows Gardner. Yeah, pretty cool.
