#### Triathlon Graphic
We can't decide between the athletic icons and Brandon's family "athletes" so Brandon will send out a version with the latter tonight and we'll choose between them

#### Timing
Extend the unconference to the full day on Saturday?
- Or at least assume people will hang out on the beach that afternoon

### 100yss 2012 symposium
Sept. 13-16 in Houston
- It's nascent, so we could become a regular presence
- Interesting mix of people ... sci-fi authors, anthropologists, engineers, philosophers, etc
- The Sanders think they can work it out
- Ben isn't sure it works with his schedule
- Eric is scared of going to Texas

### Evaluation
- Brandon ... rushed, too many things going on, but I'm excited ... if everything is important, nothing is important ... possibly unsustainable
- Shelley ... feel better about the triathlon, makes me feel better when I know the plan, feel a little overwhelmed ... an hour of email time I'm going to have to come up with out of my sleep time.
- Eric ... amazed by how much we as four people are doing, and I think it's great!
- Ben ... staggered by how much there is to do, hope I can live up to it or something.
