Dear Members, Guests and Friends:
Table Topic Master Chris delved into the linguistic semantics of technology.
- DTM Mary Helen definitely thinks Google is Goddle with a few typos and inverted letters.
- Visiting TM Charu pondered about the bittersweet story of Yahoo – exuberant in Hindi and a cautionary tale of the fall of a technogiant.
- TM Jose thought metadata is a Greek deity who cavorts with Amazons in the rainforest writing code. He Won Best Table Topics Award.
- TM Jim G. liked the comic book Androids- which allow us to move our consciousness into newer buildings. Ahhhh if only…..
- TM Aleta had never heard the word QR Code before but she’s pretty sure it’s the precursor of Q-Tips.
- TM Carmine thanks Chrome Books for allowing him to communicate simply while reading Android comic books.
Next….
- TM Marie delighted us with her speech about her stance as a Scattered Renaissance Woman. Her scrutinizing lens provided the silver lining in the Covid clutter cloud before the avalanche from her bedroom closet shattered it to pieces. She Won Best Speaker Award.
- DTM Kip asserted that, much like his own life, Pathways runs in circles. He worries about folks who will be found on the floor, dehydrated next to their computers from their inability to log in. That’s the first snarkily choke point in Pathways. He Won Most Improved Speaker Award.
As for evaluations….
- TM Charu praised TM Marie for her eloquent speech and particularly liked the closet avalanche analogy because she periodically experiences them herself.
She Won Best Evaluator Award.
- TM Aleta praised DTM Kip for his storytelling abilities and his open dinner invitations to friends or strangers who agree to evaluate his speeches. Anything to get through Level 5 in Pathways. She’s particularly glad that he likes mushrooms.
The Word of the Day was
CORNICHE, noun
A road built along the coast or along the face of a cliff.
Ex.: Do not eat Cornish Hens while driving in a Rolls Royce Corniche along the California corniche – you’ll get grease on the upholstery.
Our visitor TM Miznuma K. invited us to visit her club, Tokyo ESS TM.
Here’s a recording of today’s meeting:
