Spare a nickel

At Weaver Street Market today, an old man sat outside with a sign on his chest: “I enjoy conversation. Sit with me for 5 minutes.”

I didn’t bother to spare a few moments to chat with him, and as I rushed by him, I was doubly shamed because, dammit, that simple sign is the kernel of the storyblogging idea that I’ve been thinking about, but not building on, for far too long.

1. I love this idea. I wish I could do this with my own family. Alas talking to people with hearing problems on cell phones, not so convenient. Maybe if there was a group of volunteers available for storyblogging, they could be dispatched to various areas around the triangle? What is the cheapest audio set up you could use for this kind of thing, and still be able to put it out on the web?
