I just want a break here. I'm manually pausing this just before you go to the dinner so I can think about all the things that were said. You guys bounced around a lot of topics, but theyr'e all connected and the design nerd in me wants to do something like a theory map with links and diagrams of all this (but I'm super-ignorant on the subject matter itself). 2019-06-03T15:01:28Z Comment by DrWex I think it's "correspondents" dinner, yes? 2019-06-03T12:45:12Z Comment by user1510559 hahaha.. its great allready! 2019-05-31T23:41:47Z
