I was thinking that an fun project would be to do the Conway's Game of Life kits[1] from adafruit. It's a really easy build, plus we can hook them all up when we're done to create a giant Game of Life board. Thoughts?

Says the guy who won't be in RI for the meeting. Maybe you could work it out with AS220 to leave the giant board up (in a window preferably) for a few days after the build (write your names on the back with a Sharpie so you can recover the one you built later). If you do this, please post lots of flickr photos and video.

Message-ID: <4938235F.80206@dc401.org> Brian: Photos and videos were definitely on the agenda. Good call about putting it up in the window at AS220. That would look really cool in the display case next the door to upstairs. Sam: I was already figuring on getting the right angle headers so we can hook them all up. :) -j Brian Jepson wrote: > Oh god yes. Says the guy who won't be in RI for the meeting.

It explains how Facebook users socialize on the site, why they misunderstand the risks involved, and how their privacy suffers as a result."
