Canbridge (MA): XKCD meetup Sunday

[cellio]

Hey, Cambridge people:

Reference: this XKCD strip.

I'm told that the coordinates correspond to a park in your neighborhood, and that some folks are planning to be there. (I won't be, as I don't live anywhere near there, but I have readers who might want to know about this.)

Thanks for the reminder! (Like I have time....)

[cellio]

Well, yeah -- maybe I should have said "Cambridge people who aren't building their sukkot today". :-)

You're assuming that the latitude and longitude are North and West. The author has actually arranged for FOUR meet-ups; Cambridge, Outer Mongolia, Argentina and Sydney! You attend whichever one is closest!

Eight, actually. Those locations at 1428 local time, and those locations at 1428 UTC.

Or perhaps sixteen, because he originally posted a different set of coordinates, which he changed/corrected an hour after it went up the first time.

(a) Thanks for the reminder; I figure hearing about it thrice made it obligatory :-)

(b) Happy birthday! I hope you have a great day, and it's the start of an excellent year for you!

[cellio]

(a) So, did you have fun?

(b) Thanks! It was a good day, and so far the year's off to a good start.

So, did anybody show up?

Apparently yes. Someone on my flist posted that she was there and ran into several people from her flist. Sounds like they had quite a party! :D
