Not sure if he should do "intro to programming" for art people or "intro to art" for programming people.		* Bjorn: Talking about running a Processing and Supercollider workshop, graphics and synthesis.

	* Xaq: Starting up blogging in space. Maybe a "meet the hacker" column. Been on a reprap quest to make a Prusa Mendel -- have printed parts but none of the mechanics, going to donate them and his time to put it together. If people are interested in funding the project or working on the machine, stay tuned to Blabber. Also going to start a Quantified Self project: tracking health stats and etc, and talking about it.		* Xaq: Starting up blogging in space. Maybe a "meet the hacker" column.

Went well, got good feedback. Putting together a wiki for documentation. After this one finishes, maybe will offer it to the community after it's built.

			* Ben: Wants to see the Kit Build thing work. Offers to run the administrative side. At NIH, twice a month, they have a tech speakers talk. If anyone's interested, contact him and you'll get a tour of the Genome Research site. Any tech topic is welcome.

			* Martin: Still planning on April 2 for Spaceblimp launch. We're listed on the www.ahab.org (high-alt amateurs) website. Current flight predictions put us in the Atlantic due to the gulf stream, so we may have to delay or change launch location. The goals of the next launch are basically to do the same package as last time, but have it all work this time! Also coerced Alberto for getting started on a video for a shop-buildout Kickstarter.
