I presented to the Stanford Association for Computing Machinery yesterday, and it went incredibly well! I shared with them about Village the Game and all the technical challenges we must face. It was really well received and the audience asked a lot of great questions. I wish I could remember all the questions and put them into an FAQ post. There's some potential for turning some of the tech work into senior projects. We'll see where things lead. :) Here's a link to the Powerpoint slides from yesterday: HTML -> http://acm.stanford.edu/presentations/1_26_07/village_game_stanford_acm_1_26_07.html PPT -> http://acm.stanford.edu/presentations/1_26_07/village_game_stanford_acm_1_26_07.ppt

As a member of the ONE Campaign, I encourage Congress to protect this funding and ensure America's continued commitment to the fight against extreme

I got this for Christmas and learned an amazing amount about the last 50 years of global warfare and how the AK-47 has "democratized" warfare. They're so cheap nearly anyone can afford them so poor guerillas can fight hi tech behemoths causing a lot of drawn out wars with no real winning going on. And crazy enough, Kalashnikov the inventor is still alive figuring how to make money free market style since he never did under his motherland's communist regime.
