Columbus Arduino Raspberry Pi Enthusiasts (CARPE) (Check Location)
Tue, Sep 22, 10:30 PMBring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability.
Drunken Philosophy: "What is Art?"
Sat, Sep 19, 11:00 PMWelcome to Drunken Philosophy, a casual, curious, social discussion club. Come grab a drink and a seat at The Oracle. Optional Discussion Questions * Defining Art: Plato viewed art as an imitation of reality can art even be objectively defined, or is it entirely subjective? * Artist vs. Audience: Arthur Danto suggests art is defined by its interpretation within the "artworld." Who ultimately decides what counts as art the creator, the critic, the viewer, or society? * Limits of Art: Duchamp’s "Fountain" challenged our boundaries of art. Can anything even ordinary objects or actions become art? * Art and Meaning: Kant argued true art should evoke "disinterested pleasure." Does art need to have a message or deeper meaning, or can it exist purely to please aesthetically? * Art for the Masses: According to Benjamin, mass-produced art (film, photography, digital media) can democratize culture. Does widespread accessibility improve art or diminish its value? * Art and Truth: Heidegger suggests art reveals hidden truths about existence. Has an artwork ever fundamentally changed how you understand the world? Can a work of art change the way an entire society views the world? * Art and Emotion: Tolstoy believed the purpose of art is to transfer emotions. Must art evoke emotion to be valid? * Cultural Impact: How do cultural backgrounds influence our definition of art? Could something be art in one culture but not in another? * Art and Skill: Does art require technical skill or craftsmanship? Should a portrait of a crude person be painted crudely? * Art Museums: Are museums gatekeepers of culture, preservers of history, or something else entirely? What role do art museums serve? * NFT Art: Does art lose its value or authenticity if it only exists digitally? * Moral Art: Should art strive to morally improve us as Plato and Tolstoy argued, or should it be free from moral duties, as Wilde proposed? * Beauty and Meaning: Can art still be meaningful if it isn't traditionally "beautiful"? What qualities might make an artwork significant beyond aesthetic beauty? * Rejection of New Ideas: Why do new artistic ideas often face initial rejection? Are groundbreaking works inherently challenging to accepted tastes, or is rejection more about comfort and familiarity?
DOTS 101: Entities, Jobs, and Why They Are Fast
Wed, Sep 16, 10:00 PMThis meetup is a hands-on workshop on Unity's Data-Oriented Tech Stack - the Job System, Burst, and ECS. Instead of slides or theory-heavy lectures, we build the same game three times and watch the frame time drop each pass. The format is structured but interactive. You'll see a short demo of each idea, then write the code yourself with guidance, and we'll compare numbers before moving on. By the end you'll have a top-down arena running 5,000 enemies, and you'll know which of the two performance problems each DOTS piece actually solves. **What to Expect:** * Build one game three ways: plain MonoBehaviours, then jobs plus Burst, then full ECS * Profile each version yourself and see where the time goes * The Job System, Burst, Collections, and Mathematics, what each is for and when to reach for it * Entities, components, and systems, plus baking and sub scenes * No prior DOTS experience required; comfort with C# is enough * Checkpoint files provided if you fall behind * Resources for continued learning All experience levels are welcome. Whether you've never installed the Entities package or just want to fill gaps in your knowledge, this is a supportive space to learn by doing. **Food and drinks provided. Bring a laptop with Unity 6 installed. Join us to learn, build, and make things go fast.**

Wed, Sep 23, 9:30 PM**September at The Pause Collective 🌿** **What Have You Found Helpful?** This month, we're creating a space to share the perimenopause and menopause resources that have helped us along the way. Have you found a book, podcast, article, website, practitioner, app, product, or other resource that made a difference for you? **Bring it along and share it with the group!** Together, we'll: * Share resources and discoveries * Talk about what we've learned through our own experiences * Discover resources we may not have found on our own * Talk about what's been helpful—and what hasn't * Build our collective "toolbox" for navigating this stage of life You don't need to bring anything to participate. You are welcome to simply come, listen, ask questions, and connect. If you'd like, bring your phone, a book, a favorite podcast, a resource you've bookmarked, or even just the name of a healthcare provider who's been helpful. No need to print anything! This isn't about having all the answers. It's about learning from one another and creating a collection of resources we can return to and share with others. **Come as you are.** **Pause. Breathe. Belong. 💛**
