Yo, SEATTLE! We've got Sunil coming into town, and are looking at SUSHI on SUNDAY 8/16.
Please pop over to F2F for planning and head count and ALL THAT JAZZHANDS.
Spike: Lots of fuss over one girl. Other things to do around here--important things. Angel: You know that whoosh thing you do when you're suddenly not there anymore? I love that.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Would folks please help spread the word on a cool grown-up coloring book Kickstarter? I want them to be successful, because 1) friends with a cool project, and 2) they have ~future plans~ involving work with me.
Thanks!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Over in the Gaming thread they have very strange mating habits we're trying out something new. After 22 games of Battlestar Galactica, we've broken out a new game, a card game called Race for the Galaxy. This is a card game, where each player is trying to build up a layout (representing a space empire) that will earn them the most victory points. Obviously, being a card game, there's a fair amount of luck involved; but there's also wide scope for meaningful decision-making, and multiple viable strategies. (It is one of my favourite games; Biyi and I have probably played it more than any other game.)
We've run one game so far. It took about 21 days to play through. I'm in the pricess of putting together Game 2, and we have one slot left. Anyone who thinks they might like to try it out, drop me a line. I'm happy to answer any questions and to take sign-ups. You don't need to own the game, I'll provide all the info you need and take an active role in explaining what's going on. In addition, scans of every card in the game are available online: [link]
If you've ever wondered what actually goes on in the Gaming thread, now's your chance. First in, first served.

I'm talking about wings and flight and inventors (other than that daVinci guy) who dreamed of soaring, over at iO9 today: [link]

Hey, peeps! A good friend of mine, who, while not being a Buffista, is Buffista adjacent for sure, is finally seeing the light at the end of the unemployment tunnel... once HR gets back from vacation.
In the meantime, she's exhausted most of her resources at this point, and needs a little help, if anyone can. [link]
She's good people. (She's also local, and I can vouch for her.)

Hey there, what's new?
Just kidding... I have to tell you that watching the b.org live book drop was one of the best things last night. You are amazing friends and I love you so.
I made you a book launch present over at Chuck Wendig's: [link]

Hello, all. Hope to update here soon, but for now, just wanted to share something.
My baby sister, who I am so proud of, is an MD PhD student who will be in Boston (your Boston. If you're an American, that is) in two weeks to represent her team in iGEM (http://igem.org/Main_Page). Her team is named Boomerang, and they're working on a proof of concept to fight cancer. More on this can be found here: [link] If you'd like, you can donate to their effort here: [link]
That is it for now. Thank you!
