We met over the Internet

Went out last night with Steve Knight, blogger from Charlotte, North Carolina. As I drove to meet him, I thought of when it used to be strange to go to a meeting with someone you met over the Internet. Now it's just fun, although it still sounds slightly creepy. Blogs are great for making connections but nothing beats the face to face.

I like meeting guys like Steve. They stimulate my thinking and stir something within me that otherwise goes latent. I walked away with at least one book I'm moving to the top of the pile, as well as a new friend. Not a bad way to spend an evening.

I think it's very dangerous to meet people over the Internet...and then go out with them. Especially when you end up reading books afterwards.
