I'm canceling gaming due to too many people not being able to make it.

Despite being the one who suggested this meetup, I can't make it, because I have a final exam at 8am on Monday that I need to study for, *and* a final project due Monday... =/

However! Along the lines of this thread: http://lesswrong.com/lw/h9b/post_ridiculous_munchkin_ideas/8ygb In terms of galvanic skin response sensors: I looked this up and realized I have all the parts to assemble one of these DIY-style. So... I did! But it doesn't quite give data in a nice way yet, because I need to work some things out with the serial port reading and so forth. (I.e., it's not useful yet because you can't figure out what it is doing.) Predicated on the circuit working as I think it does, though, I bet I could get the program working and showing a running graph by, say, next week. And I will bring it if it works!

[Philip Lin]

That sounds really cool, please bring it if you get it working!

[Robin Zimmermann]

I'm feeling a little under the weather - I think I will stay home today.

Given the number of people who can't make it, I think we should probably do the munchkinry meetup next week, and just do a generic meetup today.

Also, if we do it next week, maybe we'll have a cool toy to play with.

Well I'm on the hook now!

(it's ok, that was more or less my intention)

This is just a reminder that I won't be making it to the next meetup as I will be going to Women in Secularism. I, of course, also won't be there to run a game, but I encourage others to make characters for someone else's game, or something, if they want. Happy hacking!
