Galaxy Quest!

I wonder if the lizard-pig will make a comeback on it. 

[Bobby Baum]

It occurred to me long before the movie that if extraterrestrials
picked up TV transmissions from Earth and wished to make contact they
might build Flash Gordon's rocket ship or the Starship Enterprise...

[Ethan Waldo]

More likely than reconstructing a matter rearranger that only works for an alien species you have never seen in person and have no RNA/DNA sample of.  Or does that imply the Thermians were stalking the human species before getting in touch with Captain Nesmith?  Doesn't seem like they'd have enough time with Sarris on their tail.

"How to build smarter smart cities."

[Darrell Duane]

Got this from my Burner Network.

    Nation of Makers is rolling out its first national survey of
    makerspaces <https://mailchi.mp/nationofmakers/2018-survey> -- a
    project that will repeat year-on-year to build a longitudinal census
    - and we want YOU to participate.

    Are you a burner that runs or is part of a makerspace? Maybe you
    don't call it a makerspace (frankly it's up to you what you call
    your creative space), but if there's making happening in a space
    that is shared, we'd love for you to participate.

    Ok, you might say, but WHY should I participate in this survey? Why
    is it worth my time? What's in it for me?

    1. Funding: It can be hard to make a case for how creative spaces
    affect our communities, our cities, and our members without some
    sort of measuring stick to compare to. This data can help all of us
    with grant applications, crowdfunding campaigns, and conversations
    with funders.

    2. Insurance: Getting hard data on usage, number of spaces, and
    accident rates will help Nation of Makers craft a set of guidelines
    for insurers on how to approach insuring makerspaces and other
    creative spaces -- because right now, many insurers don't know how
    to classify our spaces and tend to come down hard on rates.

    3. Operations: For the first time, we can have radical transparency
    on national averages for things like membership dues, what types of
    tools spaces have, governance structures, and more -- all decisions
    that can help you run more efficiently, grow membership, and
    maintain safe and equitable spaces.

    4. Fulfillment: Enjoy the satisfaction of contributing small data to
    our big data project - and the knowledge that you're helping us
    understand the maker ecosystem, one data point at a time. The survey
    is modeled after a similar project in the UK
    <https://www.nesta.org.uk/archive-pages/uk-makerspaces-the-data/>,
    and the data will be made available in a similar way -- as an
    open-source, anonymized data set that is available to policy makers,
    makerspace organizers, students, and researchers to understand that
    vast impact that makerspaces are collectively having on the world.

    5. Narrative: This data will be in reports, white papers, academic
    research, books, and projects for years to come -- stand up and be
    counted so you can be part of the story!

    6. Prizes: You can win a Nation of Makers' challenge coin,
    Inventables gift cards, and more!

    So, have we convinced you? If so, find out more, and head over to
    fill out the Nation of Makers' survey for your appropriate role
    here: https://mailchi.mp/nationofmakers/2018-survey. Thank you for
    helping us build and strengthen a Nation of Makers!

    Keep MAKING a difference,
    Dorothy
