Talk to Me

Every day Bill and Liz pick a spot on a New York street and invite people to talk to them. No gimmicks, no sales, just talk. They do this from 8-12 hours a day. Why?

Because people need to talk to each other. Not with any agenda, hidden motive, or business deal behind it, but just plain ol’ fashioned friendly conversation. Because strangers have a lot to teach each other in ways they might not ever realize. Because there needs to be some place to trade the thousands of ideas and perspectives that New Yorkers carry around with them just about wherever they go. Because this sign manages to start conversations that might not have happened at work, at home, or with the same old group of friends. Because it’s better than wearing a Shut-up! We’re on the subway! face wherever you go.

I’d like to go to New York just to chat with these guys for awhile. They seem rather interesting to me. And hey, in today’s world, interesting is a compliment.

Geek or Serial Killer?

Can you tell the difference?

I gotta admit, I got almost everyone wrong. Does that make me guilty of Programmer discrimination?
