I, for one, would really really like to see a videotape of several of your conversational attempts, if such videotape would be legal to take in your state. In fact, after reading the social awkwardness saga here, it’s almost worth a ticket to Texas to walk along and observe in person.
I’ll second the request for video. Maybe a web videoconference? That’s not as good as an in-person conversation (in particular, it screws up eye contact and eliminates location/distance-based signalling), but it gets around the need to travel and it’s easier to film.
I’d love to vidchat with people. I wanted to do it a lot when I got my MacBook back in ’07, but no one I knew wanted to do it and there weren’t good random-stranger vidchat sites at the time.
I’ll post my skype name when I get home.
But I hope you meant this as a separate measure of me than someone’s “in the field” observations.

PM me to schedule a time, I’ll pay for the trip just so I can have a witness.

There appears to be only one account with the name Silas Barta on skype. Is that you?
Skype screenname: silasxdx, and yes, I’m that Silas Barta
I’m on right now if anyone wants to vidchat. PM me if you want to set a time.
Sad as it may sound, I’m not sure. I haven’t used it in a while.
In any case, hold your horses! Anyone who wants will be able to chat with me soon enough! ;-)
