Emerging media has redefined how people consume videos and new technology has even changed the devices we use to watch our videos. No longer are we parked on a couch in front of a tv watching shows and commercials, we are on our smart phone waiting at the bank watching a video someone posted on Facebook or re-posting a really funny Old Spice commercial we just saw. What makes videos go viral and what can we do to increase the odds of our content breaking that 1 million-view mark? In this group w …

This is a group for contemporary artists in the Silicon Valley area who desire to meet other artists for the sake of fostering artistic community. Silicon Valley is a tough area to work in as a contemporary artist. With the exception of a few galleries and museums, and some small collegial art programs, meeting other artists so as not to be creating is a vacuum is difficult at best.

In addition there will be a time during the meeting to express what you took away from reading the book. Depending on the venue for the meeting, we will have different restrictions …

If you can code in C/C++, you can code in any language. Moreover, you can tackle any programming problem you want. No other language can make as powerful a claim. My thinking is that there are other people who would like to learn how to program in C++, and we'd love to be the one to help them, while brushing up on our skills at the same time. Convoluted languages like Java & Ruby dominate the scene, despite being characteristically less efficient, more difficult to scale, and just plain more dif …
