Walk & Talk SW
The forecast for Saturday is light rain, so bring some waterproof clothing. Plus standard stuff like water. See you there!
**Exciting news āthe first "Walk ānā Talks" of the year is here!**
These casual meetups are all about game devs walking and talking about making games.
This time we will gather at 11:00 AM outside Clapham junction station on the "Grant Road" side (around fame.closes.issues on what3words,) then walk along the Thames path eastwards until London bridge. So around 7.5 miles.
Thereās a good chance weāll bump into a pub/cafe or two for a well-earned refreshment along the way!
Rough agenda (I might adjust it):
* Start shortly after 11.
* After 1-1.5 hrs, arrive at Battersea power station for a short & light snack/lunch break (\~45 mins).
* Continue on along the Thames path, stopping for breaks as needed.
* Arrive in London bridge maybe around 3-4 pm, where the walk will end, then find a pub somewhere near London bridge station to hang out and leave whenever you're ready.
Approximate route (maps went a bit loopy in some areas; it's mostly straight along the Thames path): https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1Z2a1pb509uGHpPq5J1vbanPtIfH5dWU&usp=sharing
Tarot Reading Skills course
If you know the meaning of the 78 Tarot Cards but you find difficult to read card combinations fluidly or make card connections in spreads and then make sense of them to create a coherent story, then you could be interested in this course. Please email me for further info about T&Cs and fee at trtcoursemapi@outlook.com

Coffees & Cardsš² āļøš š°
Hi Everyone,
Please join us for Coffees & Cards Afternoon. This event is also alongside other groups I host.
Weāll meet in a cosy coffee shop for a relaxed afternoon of card/board games and other easygoing games. Please bring a few of your own, as Iāll be focusing more on hosting than providing games.
No pressure, no loud energy just gentle conversation, quiet fun, and friendly faces. Perfect for introverts, shy souls, and anyone who enjoys a calm social space.
Any questions or concerns please do message me. I look forward to meeting you

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## š¤ Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
š” About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations ā not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption ā no guesswork required.
š ļø What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
š Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site.

Bondage Photography Demonstration
*Note: this is a demonstration event only, you **will not** shoot you own images. However, if you bring your camera we can test it for compatibility with the studio lights.*
Bondage elements can add an extra layer of emotion and artistry to your images. Sample images on the internet are however dominated by BDSM style shots that are often sexualized and emphasize the model being in distress. In this demonstration Rachel and I show ways to use bondage elements in an artistic way. We explore the types of accessories that work best in artistic images and the best way to photograph them.
Our model is Rachel Adams, an internationally known fetish model with many years of experience in this genre.

Columbus Arduino Raspberry Pi Enthusiasts (CARPE) (Check Location)
Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration!
This session is open forum to share your current projectsāwhether complete or in progress, itās all interesting! Whether youāre deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, youāll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired.
**New to electronics or curious about tinkering?**
Youāre absolutely welcome. If youāre a beginner and want to experiment, Iāll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things outāwhether thatās blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience requiredājust an interest in learning and building.
While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, weāll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.
Columbus Comedy Improv Meetup at Gresso's!
Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you were quoted in *Truth in Comedy*, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**!
The idea behind improvised comedy is to create entire scenes from scratch. A suggestion is taken from the audience and laughter is built on the spot. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway, Make Some Noise,* or *Wild 'n Out*; it can also be done in a longer way, to tell a complicated story, like *TJ & Dave*.
Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and FREE!) weekly comedy event, brings the games for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Afterward, many members will hang out in *Gresso's* itself and get to know each other. Not only is this a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, your public speaking, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and build relationships that will last a lifetime, and you do that while laughing your butt off!
Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "*Yes, And*" that you'll have a blast!
Columbus Code & Coffee 87 @ Improving
Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you!
**What to Expect at the Intro Circle**
\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~
Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup:
* Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics
Round 1 - (7 secs max):
* Your name
* What you're working on
* What you can help others with
Round 2:
* Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too.
Round 3:
* Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool.
After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
Microsoft Build - Columbus Edition!
We are bringing Microsoft Build sessions to Columbus Ohio!
