Meet Nora (Before the Bubble Burst)

There's a neat little moment in "Sappy Anniversary" when Nora the information architect is giving a talk to her fellow pod people . . . er, work node, and at the end of her talk she smiles for just a microsecond (see at left). It's hard to catch, but it's there. Kinda cute.

We don't know much about young, red-headed Nora other than her carpal tunnel problems and her love of biomorphic Danish modern furniture (there really is such a thing, I looked it up on Google), but I would guess she is one of those introverted thinker types with a quirky sense of humor whose job is everything, working 90+ hour work-weeks. And she's rich, wildly rich, throwing away six gees just for a coffee table. And she likes black clothing. (I suppose it matches her wrist braces.)

The problem is, we meet Nora just before that old dot-com bubble popped, and for some funny reason I don't think Buzzdome.com survived the crash.

Where is Nora now? What is she doing? Who is she with? Inquiring minds want to know.
