Nerd Salon
Tuesday July 10, 2007 from 6:00pm - 9:30pm
111 Minna Gallery
111 Minna Street
San Francisco, California 94105 Get Directions
You've heard about it . . .

You've yearned for it . . .

At last, on July 10, it's another crazy night of Nerd Salon! Come out and socialize with your fellow geeks in a mildly intoxicated manner! This episode of Nerd Salon brings you:

* The circuit board stylings of Matt Ettus (www.ettus.com), who will be doing a live demo of GNU Radio, the open source software-defined radio project (www.gnu.org/software/gnuradio)

* A mind-bending puzzle for you to solve for a very special prize.

This irregular evening of mayem is organized by your nerd captains Jennifer Granick (www.granick.com) and Annalee Newitz (www.annaleenewitz.com). Come out and have a drink with people who won't make fun of you for hacking, hating on DRM, copyfighting, discursing on public policy, building nuclear reactors in your garage, reading science fiction, working in a bookstore, arguing about open source software, collecting Buffy dolls, dancing with robots, blogging and/or podcasting, lusting after the iPhone, or getting excited about the new Hulk comic book.

WHEN: Tuesday, July 10, 2007, 6 PM – 9:30 PM
WHERE: 111 Minna Gallery, San Francisco (111 Minna St.)
Category: Social

This was a fun event. Was surprised at the interest many expressed in getting an amatuer radio license. There is an almost 100% pass rate at "Ham Cram" held on July 21, 2007 at Washington Hospital West, Fremont: http://www.baears.com/

Since the questions and answers are set, you can study them at:

Looking forward to attending more Nerd Salon. There was a diverse group with many directions of nerdism.

Thanks for coming, everyone! Special thanks to DJ jovino, Matt and 111 Minna. I'll update the website (nerdsalon.net) soon with the puzzle winner, puzzle answers and some photos.
