Chip Conley’s a fB friend.
But he can be your friend too if you “Vulcan mind meld” with him via the HPI (human protocol interface). In 2015, your time period people refer to HPI ass reading.
Like how my dog, my family’s dog smells ass-butt. You can read what friends of mine wrote. Then network using the futuristic protocol HPI (so sorry I’m not sorry about “Dog Protocol Interface” (DPI). But I just learned what an API is.
So like a carpenter…
…It’s all nails to me. By “it”, I mean protocol interfacing
