I just need the corn to get a bit taller. I'll talk to you about it tomorrow.

When is Flatcon this year? Also - do you want me to start working on some flyers / bumper stickers / CD distro labels? Paul - would you be willing to lend me some graphic support?

I'm also hoping we can organize the layout of the tables to make it easier for the folks who need to be behind the desk to get in and out of the area. As for promoting the club, go for it. The reason we (putting on the Anime Club hat) took over video programming was to help promote the local club. There is a table at the convention for promotional material for other events, groups, and clubs, so you could leave some flyers there, or even some CDs with various distros on 'em. You could also advertise a casual seminar/discussion group, though unfortunately, we don't have the breakout rooms available to us. For events, I would recommend planning some scheduled events and getting them up on the FlatCon website and in the program book. You don't necessarily need to have a prize, but if you do, let me know and I can see if we can arrange some prize support. We occasionally just get stuff to give away, so we might be able to divert something that would end up going to the raffle stock.

Then we'll settle up the date and the menu. One of the drinks of the party will be homemade Bailey's. Yum!

Check this out: http://careers.physicstoday.org/jobdetail.cfm?job=2923852 [i] Apply your computing skills to DNA at MIT! Have stellar computational skills, PhD or equivalent experience? Enjoy solving nearly impossible problems? We’ll retrain you to work with cutting-edge DNA technology! We find biomedical applications for new DNA sequencing instruments yielding billions of short DNA sequences like AATGTAATTTCAAATGTTAGCTCATTTTTGTTAATG. We need you on our team to solve the hard mathematical and computational challenges using terabytes of these data. We invent algorithms, delve deeply in the data, code like crazy, help design laboratory experiments: we do whatever is needed to make the new technologies fulfill their promise to unlock the mysteries of genomics and biomedical research in critical areas like cancer, human genetics, infectious disease, antibiotic discovery, genome evolution, man’s inhumanity to man, and the number 42. We seek candidates from highly diverse backgrounds, industrial and academic. Mathematical and computational experience and excellence required, including superb C++ skills in a Linux or Unix environment. Biology training helpful but not required as you can learn on the job. Outstanding oral and written communication skills, joy in teamwork. A group leader position is also open for a candidate with proven leadership experience in computational science. The Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard has an intense, exciting environment, world-class laboratory and computing facilities, hundreds of scientists tackling a wide range of critical problems in biology and medicine.
