I studied Greek in college, which meant I was temping soon after. My best gig was in an internal medicine office, where I sat in a closet calling insurance companies all day, and the ladies teased me for being a virgin, and also thought I was quaintly cute. Two of them attended my wedding.

In the closet, while calling the insurance companies, I stared at an old DOS medical records system. Each screen was a different human, a person, reduced to an ASCII medical records profile along familiar axes: name, age, gender, race, and then medical history. By the end of my stint I had an image of a reconstituted person, a human, appear (to my conscious mind) instantly upon switching screens. This was late 1999, the age of The Matrix, and I identified with Mouse, the geeky young character who scans the falling green characters and cognizes the world itself.

Here is the evaluation as promised/threatened:

What is gittip? How is gittip not just you? (Paying people out of pocket, pushing a personal goal of $2,000, writing essays about your inspirations.) How do other people resonate with gittip, beyond wanting free money from their posse?

The answer represents what gittip will become. It is your market / dedicated userbase, who will represent the drift of gittip, if indeed you want gittip to be run by them. (This is the same conversation we had about your lecture school project.)

I see dowski, thiloplans, and lyndsysimon on the forum... are you going after those people? Do you deal with them directly, outside of their services? Or are they just watching you run gittip & chiming in on your thought processes?
