We're a group getting together to discuss new ideas in technology.</div>

<br />
There's no format or agenda. <span style="font-size: 12.8px;">We meet </span><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">every month or two in the San Francisco Bay Area over coffee/tea to talk</span><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">The group is not being publicized much but very open to new members. </span><br />

<span id="docs-internal-guid-40868254-e912-eb23-63f6-15d002372ccd"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Andrey went to the iAnnotate Conference and mentioned this talk: "Joshua Choi, Medical Student, Saint Louis University: Practice and Memorize: A New Application of Open Annotation” @ iAnnotate Conference (Link when the video is available.)</span></span><br />

Boris added that they could be placed in a software-generated memory palace (</span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_loci" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_loci</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">).</span></div>

This also brought up Vannevar Bush's "As We May Think" (</span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_We_May_Think" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_We_May_Think</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">).</span></span><br />
