[foo] Introductions

The opening meeting of Foo is the only time we get together in a single room. After going through the rules, Tim has each of the 200+ of us stand up, say our name, our affiliation and three words to describe what we're doing. Here are just a few of the three-word-phrases that struck me as interesting. (I've made no attempt to be representative):

Apple Kool-Aid Drinker
Social event calendaring
My VC's heartburn
Calendars abusing javascript
Hacking reality
From an old media company person: Old media's fucked
From a big company: Big companies suck
Making robotic porn
Better futures now
Early-investor VC: Revenue is destruction
Foo groupie. Foopie?
Technologies of cooperation
Avoiding technology policy
Internet crack dealer
Bytes against Bush
Activisim, metadata, diamond-polishing
Writer, coder, lover
Remembering together
Embedding Firefox: Hard
Please hire me
Routing around evil
I hate Javascript
Today's my birthday
Autonomous electronic musicians
Massively collaborative gameplay
Is college necessary?

Maybe my favorite: Non-scalable introduction ceremonies
