Everybody grabs some food (you have to pay for your own, sorry), grabs a seat, and talks tech. There's no particular focus other than meeting some new people and having some interesting conversations.

Our motivation to start this group is to incorporate "Design Thinking" into our meetups. The big thing about design thinking is it allows people to build on the ideas of others. Instead of just having that one thread, you think about it, I come up with an idea, and then somebody from somewhere else says, "Oh that makes me think we should do this and then we could do that." A …

Inspired by the Medved books of the 80s. People get together at my house in Sunnyside every other month, the 4th Sunday of odd months, and we watch and heckle, hillariously bad movies. It's like being in MST3K. People bring munchies or their own lunch. Some bring guest bad movies. No porn or slashers, just over- or underacting, cheap sets, weird writing, and all-out lousy filmmaking. Examples include Project Moonbase, Robot Monster, Massacre Mafia Style, and "Titanic, the Animated Musical!" Th …
