Story Meeting Notes, April 16, 2007
Mary’s in New Haven today teaching students at the Yale School of Management how our business model works (the secret answer is, it works with quite a bit of help from MacArthur). I’m filling in.
Danielle Sivaramen with David [Greta Pemberton]
We had lots of visitors at the story meeting this morning. Nad and Danielle Sivaramen came to us all the way from Mauritius. They’re close friends with Lila Azam Zanganeh, a contributor to Le Monde and a frequent and celebrated guest on our shows. Nad gave us a report on the state of journalism in Mauritius. As a twice-colonized, bicultural and bilingual nation, Mauritius falls somewhere between the British straight news style and the opinion-heavy, “news and views” French style. Nad and Danielle just got married on Saturday, so they’re officially the first couple to honeymoon at Open Source.
Sutter, in the flesh [Greta Pemberton]
Our other guest was the famous Sutter! He was visiting for a colloquium up in Amherst, Mass, so he swung by our offices for a story meeting and a burrito. Over lunch, he told me that he sometimes has to keep himself from “writing to get on the air,” i.e. writing comments in the style that will lure Chris to read them on the show. I didn’t know we were so predictable. Sutter and I both agreed that it would be to the detriment of the threads if everybody started writing in that style (we’d miss the collaborative banter, among many many other things) but I thought I’d post a few of the tips we came up with anyway. None of them are groundbreaking, but we’re all for helping you game the system.
Tonight, Morality: God-Given or Evolved finally goes to tape. I never thought we’d make it. There’s no way the show can live up to its comment thread, but we’ll give it a shot.

Here on Pitcairn Islands island , it strikes me that the weather is balmy.
My grandfather was a mutineer from the HMS Bounty and my grandmother a Tahitian who accompanied him here.
By any chance does sutter stutter?.

Lumiere, I understand where you are coming from. Whenever I select comments from the thread to give to Greta — or Chris — I find that my only criteron is that they are written from personal experience. I never pay attention to where that person is from, or if the sentences are pithy. You can be writing from Keflavik International Airport on your BlackBerry or chiming in from your grandmother’s recreation room in Omaha, NE., and it wouldn’t make a difference.

Actually, I’m writing from Onomatopoeia, an island that sounds just like an island.
April 16th, 2007 at 5:26 pm
Note- David’s in defensive position at this story meeting.
Yo Sutter! Kinda like I thought you looked. ( How’s that for banter?)
April 16th, 2007 at 6:58 pm
All this time, I thought Sutter was a woman. I know, for a lot of guys, that is an insult, but for me, it’s always a compliment.

GOD CREATED A MORAL UNIVERSE??????
HAHAHAHAHAHA HAH!
What Royal HorseFlop!
Take a huge train wreck, smashing and maiming hundreds – - and one baby manages to escape the carnage: What do they say? Oh isn’t god Merciful !! ???
Morality is a tool of the ruling class to protect their privilege.
Would I push the fat guy? If he was my friend, never – not to save 500. If it were my DOG – - nope – - not MY dog….quit the Bullpoot!

Vermont is soooooo interesting. Really. It is.

How about Tristan da Cuhna(an island)? Actually i spend most of my life at the circus!
April 17th, 2007 at 11:48 am
Greta — flesh indeed. Crash diet starts today! (Also, was the David/Danielle photo flipped, or am I losing my mind?)
Lumiere — afraid I may be missing a joke here, but no, I do not.
Potter — I kind of hoped I looked more like a young Robert Redford, but it turned out I looked more like the actual 1974 Bob Woodward.
Kate — No offense taken. Would love to hear more about what made you think so, though. How do we “read” disembodied Internet “voices”?
April 17th, 2007 at 12:06 pm
Onomatopoeia – sutter sounds like stutter
Per Greta I had to ask a question – it was the best I coud do – sorry.
April 17th, 2007 at 1:24 pm
Gotcha. I suspected there was something too clever for me to grasp going on. (Forgive me — I wound up having to drive from Boston to DC last night, after weather complicated the plane travel.)
April 19th, 2007 at 9:44 pm
Sutter — I really don’t know, but I’ll pay attention and when I understand, I’ll tell you. Whatever I observed, it was nice.
