@nrlucre here's another good one: http://howtorecordpodcasts.com/8-great-topic-ideas-podcast/ -- makes me want to do a Copyright vs. Patent show. -

interesting post from @geekazine on podcast length: http://howtorecordpodcasts.com/long-podcast-be/ -- I feel pretty comfortable with our 30 min to an hour format though. -

I wonder if this is what people mean when they say "the south will rise": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confederate_Patent_Office -

today's #OSP post is going to be about inventions in space. Does anybody have any comments on the subject? -

I feel like I have to do updates every damn time I log into WordPress. Is there a way to automate this? -

you saying that made me poke around a bit: "May First/People Link is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization." -- I wonder if we could pay off membership in installments or something. -

that was not to say that you should learn German instead, just that if you know German it could be useful since you said you didn't speak Portuguese. -

I double-checked "There are significant communities of German (mostly the Brazilian Hunsrückisch, a High German language dialect) and Italian (mostly the Talian, a Venetian dialect) origins in the Southern and Southeastern regions" -- that's where Porto Algere is. -

right. I have literally less than zero money. If @nrlucre wants to pony up for joining, I'm ok with that, but he has expressed disinterest for paying for anything, as has @tmray. -

@mv we are going to have to start getting more donations before we pay anything close to that. -

@mv asked that from my phone. Started doing research as soon as I got home "Dues are on a sliding scale, starting with $200 for an organization and $100 for an individual (90% of our members pay this level of dues)." -

@mv how is may first incorporated? Maybe they could be a fiscal sponsor. -

this dude beside me at the library keeps on talking...I'd be complaining except for the thumping bass of "ba ba black sheep going on". Yes, you read that correctly. -

ugh, they are having some sort of kids event at the library. I'm not sure how long I am going to be able to take this. -

@mv southern Brazil is heavily German. I don't k ow if that helps your language plight -

if we get someone outside of the school context, well, then they are just a volunteer. -

I don't want someone that is not going to have fun. I've worked with volunteers enough over the years to know volunteers that don't enjoy what they are doing are shitty volunteers. I'm sure any school programs will cover the benefit section well enough. -

the benefit aspect is primarily the reason I am targeting high schools instead of colleges, though I wasn't doing that because of the law. Particularly with the technology stuff we want done, I don't think it will be as stimulating for a college student.
