Some Questions Answered

The title "All questions answered" was a seminar title sometimes used by Don Knuth while at Stanford and occasionally in other contexts. I like the title but I'll use the slightly less ambitious "Some questions answered" with the continuation "... mostly by audience members themselves".

In other words, there is no topic for this MeetUp; We'll improvise again. Many of our most memorable, productive, and clarifying MeetUps have started with this premise. I will bring a few videos that we might view to get inspired or distracted by.

No webcast, no video recording. Some of us go to Pizza Primo afterwards and continue the discussion.

NOTE:

TechShop wants us to pay about $5 per person for use of their excellent meeting room (which we have been allowed to use, free of charge, for over five years). I think this is perfectly reasonable, especially considering the recent and ongoing improvements to the facility, but I know some of you are students or otherwise not financially secure. I will therefore initially try to make this a soft requirement. I'll put out a can by the door. If you can, please put $5 in the can. If you make a lot of money or are independently wealthy, please put in $10. If there's more than $200 in the can then I'll take $20 myself to help pay MeetUp.com for the use of this website; I personally pay $144 per year for this service and have done so for five years. All (remaining) money in the can goes to TechShop. If you have any problems with this policy, please email me or take it up for discussion at the MeetUp. If there is not enough in the cans for TechShop to be happy (in the long run) then we may have to instate a pay-when-RSVP policy instead. I don't like that idea but I may occasionally decide to do that for major external speakers in order to keep the audience size down to what TechShop can handle (70 people).
