But in the 48 hours after saying hello a thing happened that I’d not really noticed quite so bluntly; a form of social docking. Various connections were offered and accepted, on flickr, last, dopplr, twitter ; it struck me at the time as being like one of those space station docking sequences in a movie. Hoses extended and were coupled on, and the vapours of ambient intimacy started being pumped; the vapours that convert acquaintances into friends. It’s good. I’ve always liked those docking/undocking sequences.
