October 16th! Should be fun!
I want to race in this alleycat. With my cargo bike.
I think this talk at MIT on Thursday will be really good.
Not until next year. But looks interesting if you're into cocktails. Unfortunately, I'm not really that into cocktails.

Now OWS is launching the ROLLING JUBILEE, a program that has been in development for months. OWS is going to start buying distressed debt (medical bills, student loans, etc.) in order to forgive it. As a test run, we spent $500, which bought $14,000 of distressed debt. We then ERASED THAT DEBT. (If you’re a debt broker, once you own someone’s debt you can do whatever you want with it — traditionally, you hound debtors to their grave trying to collect. We’re playing a different game. A MORE AWESOME GAME.)"
Tumblr of videos of people talking about making websites, mostly.
Going to miss it this year (2013) but I'll try to help out in future years.
Sleep No More is apparently in NYC. I missed in Boston and I really do want to go. It seems to be selling out well ahead of when it's up so if I do want to go, I should probably plan something soon.
Interesting pane from an Italian meeting called the "Share Festival". I haven't watched the whole thing but the parts I've seen seem reasonably intriguing -- although a few of the people are definitely of the sort of European-free culture "usual suspects" group and so may not have a lot new to say to you.
Nice video documenting the MIT Media Lab Festival of Learning.
Greet alternative to Doodle.
