Not sure I’ll be able to make it until my head is a bit better (had a bad weekend)

A quick summary of the event:
July’s Geek Cluster was our first at Chapter. And Chapter is of course, a fantastic, buzzing, creative place. In many ways it’s exactly the right place for Geekcluster. (On the downside, it can be too busy, noisy and a bit expensive for drinks too.) But I think we may stick with it for our Cardiff meetings for a while at least. Maybe we’ll find somewhere better; but it won’t be easy.
Anyway, without our hardware-hackers in attendance we had a slightly more literary bent this time. Despite our diminshed numbers, we had fun. We talked about Museums and Libraries, Yarnbombing and Guerrilla-Gardening, reading-habits, iphones & android phones and e-readers, specialization and expertise amongst geeks, typing, handwriting, fonts and even calligraphy. We had a few pipe-dreams on aerial-photography, ballistics, hackerspaces etc…
Puns and wordplay were also a constant theme.

Talking about living in a museum…
