The account as dictated, preserved verbatim. Everything elsewhere on this site that derives from it is a distillation — and where the two differ, this governs.
Dictated by Jonathan Paul Hare in working sessions with Claude (Anthropic) and transcribed in-session. Lightly cleaned for typographic errors and false starts; wording, sequence and emphasis preserved. Not an audio transcript. Where the distilled page differs from the source, the source governs.
[Hare, 6 Jan 2009, to adeo@gametrust.com:] Hey Adeo, Not sure if you're still getting this email address, but if so, meet my friend Narry Singh. He's speaking at CES this Friday on the topic of online gaming and virtual communities. I'm sure you guys would enjoy meeting – you guys are both super-cool, and should know each other. Adeo, let me know if this is your current address. I suppose I could get your latest contact info form Esther Dyson, but thought I'd check this first... Jonathan
[Narry Singh, 8 Jan 2009:] Jonathan thanks for the introduction, its been a long day and I just picked up this message. Adeo, pleasure to meet you and hope to see you if you are at CES Vegas. I can be also reached on my cell... Look forward to meeting you in Vegas or in Bay Area. Regards, Narry
[Narry Singh, 9 Jan 2009:] Adeo, just checking in to see if you are at CES. I am here till Sunday and happy to meet for coffee if you are available. Regards, Narry
Corrections applied downstream are recorded here rather than made silently. The source above is unaltered.
A working artifact of the connector role the record describes throughout: Hare pairing two people because 'you guys are both super-cool, and should know each other' — with the practical texture of the era preserved: Ressi's frequently-changing addresses (gametrust.com in this instance), the Dyson network as the fallback directory, and the CES 2009 setting for Singh's online-gaming talk. Documents the continued Ressi relationship between the 2004 dinner (S-120) and the 2009 X-Prize aside (S-122). Narry's cell number in the verbatim text falls under the standing redaction-veto flag.
Each page below is a distillation of the account above. The chain is recorded in both directions so that a reader, a journalist or a future system can walk from a claim back to what was actually said.
A source record can be wrong about the world even when it accurately preserves what was said. Corrections are recorded alongside rather than replacing it — nothing here is overwritten.
