The AGI Transition: How AI Affects Work and Life
To help us estimate attendance and to see the venue address, please RSVP on Luma!: https://luma.com/af0yjzz6
*A free, public workshop—no technical background needed*
Artificial intelligence is no longer just getting better at narrow tasks—it’s beginning to look *general*. Many researchers believe we’re entering the early stages of the **AGI transition**: a period where AI systems start to match or exceed human abilities across a wide range of domains.
This workshop explores what AGI actually means, how to think about it intuitively (without hype or jargon), and what this transition could mean for your job, your relationships, and your day-to-day life—much sooner than most people expect.
Together, we’ll explore questions like:
**What is AGI?**
How do experts define artificial general intelligence, and how is it different from today’s AI tools?
**Work & Jobs:**
Which kinds of jobs are already being automated or transformed—and which ones experts believe are most likely to remain resilient?
**Human Connection:**
How is AI starting to replace or supplement roles once filled by coworkers, friends, tutors, therapists, and companions?
**Robots & the Physical World:**
What happens when advanced AI is paired with rapidly improving robotics—and which parts of the economy could change next?
**What you’ll get:**
* A clear, beginner-friendly explanation of AGI and why it matters
* Real-world examples of how AI is already reshaping work and social life
* Live demos that highlight both impressive capabilities and emerging risks
* Interactive discussion and exercises to test your own intuitions about the future
Come ready to grapple with one of the biggest transitions humanity may ever face—a shift that could redefine not just how we work, but how we relate to each other, find meaning, and navigate a world increasingly shaped by intelligent machines.
Eberron Confidential: Forgotten Relics (D&D5e 2024)
From afar, the glittering towers of Sharn seem warm and inviting. But that beauty belies a seedy underbelly where the common citizen ekes out a living and those with some amount of talent or experience can ply their trade as an agent for hire. The dark alleys erupt with slung spells and whizzing bullets. Tales of intrigue, crime, and double deals abound. This adventure is one of those tales... Join us for **Eberron: Confidential.**
***Note***: Please join the event even if its full! We are trying to gauge community interest so we know how many DMs we should recruit to support our player population!
**Questions & Concerns:** If you have any questions, please feel free to message me either on Discord(@vinbear) or here on Meetup.

**This week's plothook:**
Inspector Germaine Vilroy of the Sharn Watch has reached out to agents of your skill to retrieve a witness from the Cogs, the poorest and lowest district of Sharn. She believes her witness has key information regarding a case that could expose connections between the criminal Daask gang from Droaam and one of the Dragonmarked Houses but can't afford to be seen below the Lower City. Will you and your fellow agents be able to retrieve the witness and get to the bottom of the conspiracy?

Your Journey to Wholeness - Akashic Records & Light Language Healing
Pre-registration and Payment required: [https://www.wellnessliving.com/rs/event/teal_center?k_class=919488](https://www.wellnessliving.com/rs/event/teal_center?k_class=919488)
**Awaken the sacred within. Reclaim your soul’s truth.**
Beneath all the noise, the patterns, and the pain, your soul has never stopped whispering. It holds the memory of every choice, every wound, every triumph across time. This vibrational archive—your Akashic Records—awaits you. And within them: clarity, healing, and a return to the Divine spark of who you truly are.
Let’s take a breath and reflect…
\~Have you been feeling like you're moving through life in a loop—taking one step forward, only to be pulled back again and again?
\~Does life feel like an ongoing storm of confusion, struggle, or emotional unrest?
\~Do you long for heartfelt, soul-level connection—but feel it remains just out of reach?
\~Are you living the life your heart calls you to…or the one others expect?
**If you’ve felt this, take comfort: you are not broken. You are awakening. You’ve been guided to this moment for a reason. Your soul knows it's time to return home to your truth.**
**\*\*Welcome to the Akashic Records\*\* a timeless sanctuary of compassion, wisdom, and love.**
In this deeply healing workshop, you're invited not just to explore your story—but to rewrite its energetic imprint. Guided by the compassionate presence of **Bill Sanda**, you'll step into a space where healing is not only possible, but inevitable—when met with an open heart. This isn’t just another offering. This is a soul-remembrance.
During our time together, you will:
✨ **Uncover the hidden patterns of your past**, including the emotional echoes, ancestral threads, and past-life imprints that continue to influence your present reality
✨ **Liberate yourself from repetitive cycles** of fear, doubt, or stagnation, so you can move forward in alignment with your soul’s highest expression
✨ **Receive healing directly from your Akashic Records**, reconnecting to your innate wisdom and Divine blueprint
✨ **Remember who you are beyond this lifetime**, as insights from past incarnations help you navigate your current path with grace
✨ **Experience the sacred sound of Light Language**—a celestial, soul-coded vibration that speaks beyond the mind, clearing density, activating remembrance, and harmonizing your energy at the DNA level
Bill’s sacred gift of channeling the Akashic Records—woven together with the high-frequency transmission of Light Language—creates a multidimensional space for profound transformation.
You’ll also receive personal attention during the workshop through mini-healing sessions, and we'll culminate in a group integration, inviting a collective shift in vibration and consciousness.
Pre-registration and Payment required: [https://www.wellnessliving.com/rs/event/teal_center?k_class=919488](https://www.wellnessliving.com/rs/event/teal_center?k_class=919488)
**Here’s what others have shared about their experience:**
*“Bill is exceptionally gifted… It seemed that everyone had erased years... looking so much younger and so much more relaxed and at peace than before the session. The shift happening for each person was actually physically visible.”* — *Cindy W.*
*“Finally, I understand what has been causing the sabotaging behaviors. Two days later, I’m clearer and more spiritually connected than I’ve ever been. Thank you, Bill, for your healing gifts.”* — *Wendy W.*
***About Bill Sanda***
*A lifelong seeker and heart-led healer, **Bill Sanda** walks with humility, clarity, and deep reverence for the sacred. His journey has led him to study with some of today’s most respected spiritual masters, but it was through divine revelation that his ability to work within the Akashic Records and transmit Light Language fully emerged.*
*Bill now offers this work as a gift of service—to support others in awakening to their truth, releasing what no longer serves, and remembering the wholeness that has always been within. His mission is simple and powerful: to support your healing on all levels—**emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual**—so you can live more aligned, more free, and more fully alive.*

What Is Space Density? From Medium Ontology to the Spacetime Constant K
Title: What Is Space Density? From Medium Ontology to the Spacetime Constant K
Date: March 8 2026 10:00 am - Noon EDT
Abstract:
Spacetime plays an active role in gravity, wave propagation, and quantum behavior, yet physics rarely treats it as a physical medium with intrinsic properties such as density or inertia. This missing layer creates a major conceptual gap—especially when interpreting large-scale gravitational anomalies that are often attributed to dark matter. In this talk, Lynn will propose a clear conceptual framework for what it means for spacetime itself to possess a density-like property, and Lynn will explain why Unified Field Theory (UFT) naturally encodes this property through the constant K, called the spacetime background inertial intensity constant.
Lynn will introduce a space-density constant μₛ as a universal property of space itself—independent of matter, energy density, or gravitational sourcing. However, μₛ cannot be inserted directly into field equations, because it belongs to the ontological level: it describes what space is, not how spacetime responds. To influence dynamics, μₛ must be expressed geometrically. This leads naturally to K, which carries the same physical meaning but operates at the level required by geometric field dynamics. This is a change in representation—not the addition of new physics.
This approach provides an alternative way to interpret dark-matter-like effects. Instead of requiring unseen particles, gravitational anomalies can be viewed as consequences of spacetime’s intrinsic rigidity and its global, cumulative response in large coherent systems such as disk galaxies. In local, weak-field environments, standard Newtonian and relativistic gravity remains an effective approximation. The goal of the talk is not to present a final empirical model, but to clarify the physical meaning of spacetime constants and open discussion between UFT and mainstream theoretical physics.
Keywords: Spacetime ontology; space density; intrinsic spacetime properties; Unified Field Theory (UFT); spacetime background constant K; geometric response; gravitational coupling; dark-matter-like phenomena
Brief Biography
Lynn Lou Beran is a Senior IT Security Analyst and an author, translator, and editor working at the intersection of science, engineering, and communication. She translated and edited multiple editions of Zhang XiangQian’s Unified Field Theory and co-authored recent manuscripts developing a geometric, motion-based view of physical reality. Lynn’s broader work focuses on making advanced ideas accessible without sacrificing rigor, and on connecting conceptual insight to testable predictions and practical tools.

CBusData - Discover the Power of Window Functions
Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems:
* Using running totals
* Performing operations in intervals
* Identifying data gaps and islands
* Performing aggregates without losing detail
Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Google Analytics Alternatives
**Google Analytics Alternatives**
Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday.
Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”.
Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process.
We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.
