Just posting a quick note to let you know that despite <a href="http://twitter.com/jlbruno/statuses/1107657146">murmurings to the contrary</a>, our <a href="http://unstoppablerobotninja.com/">founding</a> <a href="http://www.simplebits.com/">fathers</a> are not letting the society fall by the wayside. These past few months have been a flurry of speaking and coding and baby rearing and wedding planning, but the society has not been forgotten. I’m in the process of building us a new little internet home, one which will allow for:</p> <ul> <li>more frequent updates on the society status</li> <li>a feed for fellow members to subscribe to said updates</li> </ul> <p>I’m toiling away at forming markup and styles worthy of you good people, and perhaps one day the design will be finished. As the great French novelist Alexander Dumas once said:</p> <blockquote>All human wisdom is summed up in two words - wait and hope. <i>- Alexander Dumas</i> </blockquote> <p>In the meantime, here is a poster from an awesome looking movie.</p> <p><img src="http://meaganfisher.com/bits/images/octopus.jpg" alt="Sh!
