Meetings in Cyberspace
This year's Nebulas and Worldcon will now be virtual events, and I'm still committed to attending both. I have high hopes that the respective organizers will be able to help our communities stay connected in these weird and troubling times.
On the more casual side, I'm one of the many people overloading the Jackbox Games servers these days. I've also been doing more online co-working these days, including hosting a weekly Monday Evening Write-In and trying out different Meetup groups. Obviously nothing's the same as an in-person get-together, but being able to see and talk to other humans in realtime is still good.
I know everyone's all about Zoom these days, but if you're looking for a free alternative that doesn't require downloads or logins, may I suggest Whereby? Fellow PDX writer and all-around awesome person Jenn Reese introduced me to this service, which has been very reliable and high-quality so far (knock on wood--Norwegian wood, WOT WOT).
As usual, we end on a song.
