"Let us keep our minds open by all means, as long as that means keeping our sense of perspective and seeking an understanding of the forces which mould the world. But don’t keep your minds so open that your brains fall out!"

- Thanks; Orangemike it was a well done little piece. What I liked best was that I was included in just a tiny and trivial passage; my performance in the actual interview was more substantial but dismal in quality. What I disliked was the suggestion that WP is intended to archive the whole of worldwide literature. No, that's somebody else; we're just trying to present a summary.

Hi Jim edit
My name is Meg Miller, I'm an editor for Are.na where we put out an Annual book series. In the forthcoming book, we have a conversation between two Wikipedians, and one of them mentioned something about you that I thought was fascinating: they said that your retirement plan is essentially biking around New York City each day with the goal of taking a photo of every single building and uploading them to Commons. It intrigued me because I'm also a writer, and thought that sounded like an interesting seed of a story. If you're interested in talking to me (very casually) about this, would you please email me at mmill06@gmail.com? 68.198.128.244 (talk) 01:52, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
Happy holidays! edit
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, Jim!
The other day, I was having a conversation with someone about holiday cards and social media. It occurred to me that, in the years since I left Facebook, the site I use most to communicate with people I like isn't actually a social media site at all. If you're receiving this, it's pretty likely I've talked with you more recently than I have my distant relatives and college friends on FB, at very least, and we may have even collaborated on something useful. So here's a holiday "card", Wikipedia friend. :) Hope the next couple weeks bring some fun and/or rest. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 18:40, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
