Yodeya Con

[cellio]

Mi Yodeya (the Jewish Q&A site on Stack Exchange) will be five years old in a couple weeks, and the founder is hosting a celebration. Mi Yodeya is a worldwide community, so no matter where it's held only a small portion of users could come, but fortunately for me the founder now lives within driving distance of my house. (This is a recent-ish change.) Woot! I get to spend a shabbat with somebody I'm very interested in meeting and talking more with, and his family, and a dozen or two others. This'll be fun! And attendees are being encouraged to give short divrei torah (torah talks), so as soon as I finish preparing this week's, I'll need to give that some thought. First impressions, you know. :-)

On a side note, I'm glad Google Maps tells me which roads along a path are toll roads, and I'd be even happier if it told me the toll.

Re: "Con," no less!

I listen to enough science fiction podcasts to be aware of "Con" culture, even though I've never participated. :)

And I am looking forward to your visit a great deal, as well.

For the road I referred to, you won't need cash. If you don't have an EZPass, they take a photo of your plate, get your contact info from your commonwealth's authorities, and bill you.
