June Geek Gather

06.01.10

“This is June, the month of grass and leaves . . . already the aspens are trembling again, and a new summer is offered me. I feel a little fluttered in my thoughts, as if I might be too late. Each season is but an infinitesimal point. It no sooner comes than it is gone. It has no duration. It simply gives a tone and hue to my thought. Each annual phenomena is reminiscence and prompting. Our thoughts and sentiments answer to the revolution of the seasons, as two cog-wheels fit into each other. We are conversant with only one point of contact at a time, from which we receive a prompting and impulse and instantly pass to a new season or point of contact. A year is made up of a certain series and number of sensations and thoughts which have their language in nature. Now I am ice, now I am sorrel. Each experience reduces itself to a mood of the mind.”
- Henry David Thoreau, Journal, June 6, 1857

See you Tuesday!

May Geek Gather

April Geek Gather

There were no lions, only lambs, so will there be April showers? Will they bring May flowers? What I can tell you is that it’s time for another Geek Gather and that brings us back to Wilde Roast — home of good food and WiFi that works.

See you Tuesday!

December Geek Gather

It’s time for Geek Gather for December. We’re back to Wilde Roast this month. Sadly, the Parlor Room isn’t available this time around (I checked last week), but there’s usually plenty of room even if we can’t steal power for our gear.

See you next week!
