Here's an experiment. I'm going to invite Sam to dinner next week in Boston, via this weblog. I'm interested to know how far we an take weblog discussions. Usually, this kind of thing would happen via a more immediate form of conversation, like email or IM. But, I'm curious how it plays out via blogging. I'm also interested in the side effects...

Hey Sam: respond on your blog if you'd like to meet up. I'm thinking Wed evening. Let me know. Thanks, bro!
