I go to these occasionally; they're awesome. If anybody's down to check out the next one, feel free to MeMail.

Those videos made me happy. And then I became sad again when I realized that I don't live in NYC and can't see this live.

I used to live in an apartment that overlooked a corner with a nice view of a fairly notable, fairly tall Seattle landmark (that is not the Space Needle). The apartment itself did not have a view of that landmark, but watching the punctuated parade of people stand on the corner and take pictures was far more interesting.

But on depending on where you are in Ontario, wsp, you might well be able to see the similar Trampoline Hall lectures in Toronto.

I watched most of the first one. While I found it entertaining and informative (and, indeed, helpful to most people), it sadly does not apply to me.
