Why not just get together with tech folks over tech, and bonsai people over bonsai, and cross-pollinate your life a bit? :)
Umm .. wouldn't that be not cross-polinating?
He's suggesting jchrisa cross-pollinate his life with people other than "tech people".
I go to the local bonsai meetup, but it's out in a suburb and not really oriented toward younger folks in the city. I'd still encourage you to go (they have great speakers and material at affordable auctions). But it'd be cool to talk to geeks about geek things like bluetooth soil sensors and watering automation. Or how real trees are like B-trees :)
