Welcome! We are a diverse group of open-minded people with interests that are somewhat unusual.  Our hope is for the Geek Club (Peninsula Chapter) to be a place for meeting like-minded people with which to go on adventures or just hang out.  Most of our events are very laid-back, so don't be afraid to jump right in. Our group definition of geeky is fairly broad.  Anything off the beaten track:  anime, computers, science and science fiction, cult films, unusual art processes, fighting robots and …

A group for people developing with OpenCL, OpenGL, OpenGL ES, WebGL, WebCL, COLLADA and all of the other Khronos Group technologies (http://www.khronos.org/).

We meet once a month to drink beer & share lessons learned on various topics including computer science, design, HCI, complex systems development, programming languages, compiler optimization, cryptography, computer music, AI... and whatever else the group finds interesting. The common thread is that most of the presenters & audience know at least one dialect of lisp (eg Common Lisp, Scheme, Clojure, Emacs Lisp, etc). But it is definitely a polyglot (not just lisp-related) group & presentations …

Hello, I'm @sidgabriel, the organizer of ARDevMob: The San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley Augmented Reality Meetup group. Augmented reality is a human interface metaphor. Unlike the "desktop metaphor" which implies a computerized representation of a desk, files and folders, "Augmented Reality" implies that computer science can inform and extend everything in our visual, auditory and cognitive perception of reality. Making every interface relevant to a "first person" narrative perspective. …

3D Printing, also known as Additive Manufacturing, is an exciting and potentially game changing technology that will dramatically alter the way products are designed, manufactured, distributed and financed. A standard digital file (.stl) of an object is created, either by using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software or a 3D scanner, and is sent to a dedicated machine which builds the object layer-upon-layer in a material such as plastic, metal or ceramic. Today the technology is mainly used for ra …

Q:  If you had to declare a manifesto for this group, what would it be? A: That philosophy is for everybody.  That, while it uses abstraction, its value rests on its concrete utility in everyday life.  For example, you don't have to know how to program a computer to benefit from one (though of course you can do more with it if you know how it works). Q:  I'm very busy ‐ what preparation is involved? A:  We do not assign reading, because we are interested in your original thinking.  As the the …

We will cover one piece of the puzzle in every meetup. The idea is to have a holistic view of Big Data.
