This past Saturday I logged into iChat and saw that Tim Spalding was online as well, so I sent him a request to do a video chat. (For those of you unlucky enough to not be Mac owners, well, this kind of interaction is a piece of cake!) Tim accepted my invitation and he and I were able to have a brief conversation. Abby Blachly was there too, in the background, so I got to say hi to her as well. It was nice because none of us has ever met in person. One of the things I asked them was why on earth they appeared to be hard at work on a Saturday?! Turns out they were just minutes away from hosting the first official LibraryThing barbeque/picnic. Wish I could have been there!
