I am pretty good at responding to email. My phone number is +1-781-223-0890. I respond better to email than text messages. WhatsApp is also possible once we’ve been introduced.
Propose a Meeting with Ben – mostly post-pandemic
For the near future I will not be using an on-line booking service to set up meetings. The best way to reach me is via my email and we’ll negotiate there.
The rest of this is kept for historic purposes so that I can turn it on again later.
=====
I prefer to meet between 8am and 6pm on weekdays. I do make exceptions to this, but that’s the norm. I prefer not to drive all over creation, so I like to have my meetings reasonably near where I live (Bedford, but the 128 corridor between Woburn and Waltham qualify). Sadly, none of the scheduling options to date tell you vaguely where I am (too much precision would also be bad), so location is part of the negotiation.
In these times I still prefer to meet via zoom or equivalent, or outdoors somewhere (though fine to go inside to get tea or lunch to consume outside). And if we’re meeting in person, I expect that you are vaccinated. If you’re not, please stay virtual.
I use arrangr to let you suggest meeting times and locations:
Please do not consider a meeting confirmed until you receive an email from me or arrangr.
Also, I’m much more likely to accept a meeting if we have already met, or you have at least reached out to me via email and I’ve suggested or agreed to a meeting.
Favorite places to meet include:
- Caffé Nero outside the Burlington Mall, up near Mall Road (there’s also one inside, so not that one)
- Revolution Hall in Lexington
- Revival Café near Alewife T station in Cambridge
- Elsewhere in the 128 Northwest corridor.
I also use Zoom Meetings. I you use the link above, a zoom link will be included in the calendar invitation.
