The people attending this London, Ontario, event do not suffer from limited interests. Nor are they socially inept. The two pictured above are both bloggers and they run sites with a heavy slant towards knitting.
The one woman also knows her way around cameras, apertures and f/stops, as well as knitting needles and all that pearl one, knit two stuff. I checked her site and some of her pictures are so good that it makes me embarrassed to post this image taken with a camera clearly being pushed past its quality limits.
The truth is that the computer world attracts some of the most creative people around. It is a world of true discovery and many of the people at the dinner are the people pushing the edges of this new world — pushing the edges and expanding the territory.
When I was young, I discovered that some of the most creative people were physics majors and not art students. I think today it is possible the torch has been passed by the physics types to those with a strong interest in computer stuff — hardware and software. It was a short, clean hand-off.

Hey! That's me knitting the mitten! Not a bad picture considering the lighting. It was very nice to meet you! Hope to make it out next month - I should have two mittens by then. :)
Maybe dork would be a better word?
It was a pleasure meet & chatting with you.
Good to see you out last night.
I agree that, at least around here, many technology oriented people are also very creative. It's lead to some great creative output, and the future should be bright too.
