Yet another meetup group dedicated to bringing massively scalable computing and analytics technologies to life by organizing hands on workshops, hackdays, and active presentations. Ideally - everyone that comes contributes something, if nothing other than their own confusion.

The Electric Universe (EU) is a scientific point of view that studies the many ways electric forces shape our world. Everyone accepts that electric forces power our lights and run our computers. But when discussing theories of planets, moons, comets, stars and galaxies, astronomy research and textbooks ignore electricity. It is assumed that ONLY gravity is important in the astronomical world. The Electric Universe is a point of view that challenges the popular “gravity-centric” perspective. EU r …

June 2013 is our 1 year anniversary! We have a Meetup scheduled to celebrate. We started out as Dr. Who Club, and watch that at most of our Meetups, but a lot of us are fans of other series like Torchwood, Downton Abbey, Sherlock, Misfits, Red Dwarf and other BBC Series. We have had a few Downton Abbey Meetups already. What is Dr. Who? As you may know, Doctor Who and his companions travel through space and time in the Tardis, having many great adventures.

We love everything technology (old or new), are willing to wait in line to see the new Burton, Cameron, Jackson, Scott, or Spielberg  flick on opening night (with no shame for smuggling in snacks from the grocery store) and love role-playing in whatever form it takes: pen and paper, live-action or online. We have clothing (not costumes) in our closet that would fit well in the 16th century or the 23rd century. We can master any interest that piques our curiosity, whether it be making crème brule …

New IT and business challenges abound as cloud-scale computing and storage become a reality.  These challenges must be addressed by innovative, cost effective products and solutions.  SGI and Scality together address these challenges.  The solution is a high performance infrastructure for Internet applications that accommodates millions of users, tens of millions of transactions and billions of files, while providing the tools to deliver 'always on' services and ubiquitous access to data.

Recent advances in neuroscience and neurotechnology are propelling man-machine interfacing into a new era in which machines such as computers and prostethic limbs are more directly and tightly coupled to our brain's neural activity. Examples of these advances include: mice whose brains have been altered using optogenetics learn and unlearn on command; a monkey who controls an artificial arm and feeds himself via a brain-machie interface; scientists who can render an image imagined or dreamed of …

Much depends upon your participation. The time has come for us to dismantle the 9/11 myth, and thereby to remove any remaining pretext for the endless global war.  In order to do this, we will need to engage in direct, real-time political action, which will involve street protest, distribution of scientific literature and politically sensitive material, possibly civil disobedience. Until the crimes of 9/11 have been thoroughly investigated as crimes, and the perpetrators brought to justice, huma …
