🎶🎬 THE HISTORY OF SOUND
***🎼What happens to all the sound released into the world that is never captured?* It is timeless and achingly beautiful 💘**
👋**Hey guys,** let's meet at the **Barbican Cinema** this Sunday afternoon for the very talked about **The History of Sound**. It is an American Italian film directed **Oliver Hermanus**.
The film and book centered on a poignant, often unspoken, romance between two music students, who meet in 1917 and later travel rural Maine recording folk songs, exploring themes of memory, connection, longing, and the preservation of fleeting moments and identities through sound, all set against the backdrop of World War I and early 20th-century America
I’ll be hanging out at the **Barbican Cinema Café & Bar** from **4:00p.m.** for a meet & greet before we head to **Screen One**. Pick any seat you like—we’ll regroup for a film review and drink after the film.
**See you guys there**

**Questions we'll explore**
1\. So we need to hurry\. Not just because we move daily closer to death but also because our understanding—our grasp of the world—may be gone before we get there\. \(1\)
*How do you feel about this?*
2\. Don’t waste the rest of your time here worrying about other people—unless it affects the common good\. \(4\)
*What can you usefully do?*
3\. To stand up straight—not straightened\. \(5\)
*How would you go about this?*
4\. Forget everything else\. Keep hold of this alone and remember it:
Each of us lives only now, this brief instant.
The rest has been lived already, or is impossible to see. *(10)*
*What are the implications?*
5\. If you\.\.\.\.—can find fulfillment in what you’re doing now\, as Nature intended\, and in superhuman truthfulness \(every word\, every utterance\)—then your life will be happy\.
No one can prevent that. (12)
*Do you agree or disagree?*

Tate Modern Visit & Social (FREE)
Note : To make sure that no one gets lost, we create a **Telegram** group
Join us on for live location updating
**https://t.me/+K_XSsBtvU_43N2U0**
Hi All,
Lets go see the *Materials and Objects* exhibition at the Tate modern. Its free and interesting. We can go reflect in the cafe afterwards.
The *Materials and Objects* display looks at the inventive ways in which artists around the world use diverse materials.
Increasingly over the last hundred years, artists have challenged the idea that certain materials are unsuitable for art. Some employ industrial materials and methods, while others adapt craft skills, or put the throwaway products of consumer society to new uses.
There is also optional events at the London Southbank
Everyone is welcome to join and leave at any time
Cheers
I will be dressed in a long black coat, navy trousers, green beanie hat, next to the entrace doors into the turbine hall entrance of the tate modern

A Must See movie by Christopher Nolan!
How can you reconstruct the past if you can't remember it? Leonard Shelby, an amnesiac, must do precisely that but so do we as viewers because much of the movie is told backwards. Nolan uses every cinematic trick in the book to help us see things as Shelby sees it. Widely acclaimed, we hope you will too!
Azure CBUS January: Learn Infrastructure-as-Code Through Minecraft
## Learn Infrastructure-as-Code (the FUN Way) — Through Minecraft 🎮☁️
**Joint Meetup: Azure CBUS × Columbus HashiCorp User Group × DevOps Columbus**
What if learning Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code didn’t feel like a whitepaper… but more like a game?
Join us for a joint Azure CBUS, Columbus HashiCorp User Group, and DevOps Columbus meetup where **Mark Tinderholt** \(Principal Architect\, Microsoft Azure \| HashiCorp Ambassador \| “The Azure Terraformer”\) shows how **Minecraft** can be used as a surprisingly powerful way to understand real-world Infrastructure-as-Code concepts.
In this session, Mark will demonstrate how Terraform and Azure can be used to provision, configure, and manage Minecraft servers—while teaching the same patterns you’d use for production cloud infrastructure.
### What we’ll cover
* Infrastructure-as-Code fundamentals using **Terraform**
* Provisioning real infrastructure on **Azure**
* Applying **IaC best practices** (immutability, repeatability, versioning)
* How playful environments like Minecraft make complex concepts *click*
* Why learning through experimentation beats click-ops every time
### Who should attend
* Developers, platform engineers, and cloud engineers
* Terraform users (new or experienced)
* Anyone curious about Infrastructure-as-Code but tired of boring examples
* Minecraft fans who want to see it used in a totally unexpected way
No prior Minecraft experience required—just curiosity and a willingness to learn infrastructure the fun way.
Come for the blocks, stay for the Terraform. 🧱➡️📐
