  Description

  As in the "where" part of this calender event, the place is the Hudson
  Park Library at 66 Leroy st. New York, NY

  This will be the last meeting in the library.

  We'll start on chapter 4. Please read the rest of chapter 3 if you
  haven't yet, and ask your questions on the list, or bring them with
  you on tuesday to start out the meeting.

  Information going forward:

  The book to be used will be Dive Into Python. You should get your own
  (that is download your own) copy from http://www.diveintopython.org/.

  I'm interested in looking at the supplement at
  http://www.swc.scipy.org/ since it may help us to go through this to
  go over good programming practices.

  Jon Lippincott: Vis Virtual Universe
  ------------------------------------
  Vis is a virtual universe written from the ground up in C++. It has
  become the a means of creative expression for its author, who has used
  it for live performances at art spaces and nightclubs in NYC. It is a
  relatively young project (less than a year), and has a number of
  potential paths of evolution, the most likely being some kind of
  online space where users can create their own worlds and communicate
  with one another in unique ways.

  David Kareve: horrified robot art
  ---------------------------------
  David Karave creates horrified robot art. "Home Automation" is a
  combination of cinema, theatre and violent robotics. A family of crash
  test dummies, in a walk-in living room, react to the terror color code
  alerts on their television, by violently & musically smashing into
  themselves. His work will be on display at the Edward Albee
  foundation, 91 Fairview Ave, Montauk, NY, September 24-30th.
