A blog for the GANG

Dear all,

Gangsters,

I was wondering about an idea to keep the gang in touch (apart from the endless other resources that we have already implemented to miss each other as less as possible - emails, skype, gtalk, etc.)... And the blogang-idea came by!

First, I thought about making a Picasa account to have photos from the gang at the LSA and Yosemite, and also to have photos that each gang member would want to share with the gang community... Afterwards I realized that a blog with various authors (as many as the gang members) would be far more interesting. And this is it!

This is THE BLOG OF THE GANG... A gang that emerged spontaneously in the Stanford-LSA complex social/relational networks and is here to last, to keep hanging around in the years to come (Lisbon next year, the following LSA in Berkeley, etc.). A gang of a bunch of linguistics researchers and a psychology researcher that more than anything else are beautiful and interesting people that know that life is pleasant and that among the most important sources of happiness is friendship, specially the surprisingly and fascinating relationships that are unexpected. To meet special people is always… Special!

So, the blog isn’t just reporting from the intense LSA experience (long lasting memories will remain), but also to prepare the next year's gang reunion in Lisbon, with lots of sardines, beer and wine, and everything else that is gang-relevant. That is, we can take the blog as a resource to the gang community, posting messages and pics that we want to share among us...

Does this sound interesting?
