I knew blogging would pay off some day. After finding the Athens Marigold Mallet Society (posted yesterday) posted by Chip Woods (brain-father to the Year 2000 Project family of weblogs), I marched on over and played a raucus game of croquet, my first in over two years. Finally, I met Chip, and he’s as nice a guy as his weblog suggests. His blogged technological exploits always interest me, but his degree of wiredness was a sight to behold:

Chip (talking on cell phone): “Oh, hey, I gotta go "
Us: “No, it’s not your turn yet. "
Chip: “Huh? What? No! I’ve got a call on the other line. "
