Meatball may be my new favourtie thing:
“Really, it’s dangerous to even cut the marble and say, “Here, this is what Meatball is about.” Having done that before, it was a mistake. Like any community, it defines itself by being itself. The direction is only an illusion of consent amongst its members.
That being said, there need to be defined goals to direct our efforts. MeatBall is about…
People and People and Computers and People.“
