“Dinner at Zaftigs With Some iFolk”

I had dinner last night in Brookline, MA, with Andy Inhatko, Rich Siegel, Dave Nanian and Steve Siska. (The Four Horsemen of the iPocalypse?)

The evening started with a drive to Rich's house in RI, where he surprised me with a gift: a real chainmail glove to protect my hand from the parrots when they're cranky! Very cool. Corinne and I both think this is something my brother would love, so I need to remember to show it to him when I fly out for his wedding in June. (But knowing Jed, he already has one.)

We drove up to Zaftigs Delicatessan in Brookline, MA for dinner. We arrived a little late because traffic was mostly stopped on Route 128, but everybody else (except Dave Nanian) was late, too: Andy had a chat with a mac user group, and Steve was stuck in traffic just like we were.

After dinner we walked a couple doors down to an ice cream shop, where Rich snapped a picture of Andy (and where, after we left, I took the picture of the group).

It was a good evening with lots of chat about a movie I hadn't seen (Borat) and a certain phone none of us can own until at least June.

Oh, if you're looking at my pictures, don't miss the ironic OnlineRealty.com OFFICE — that's just wrong, Rich and I thought for a moment we had fallen into Second Life — nor the brick building with a wall of fake windows.
