# Round 30: Things We Say
Hello Hackers.
Thank you to The Ladders for hosting the meetup. It was our second time there and we love the space. They're hiring, and there are a few hacker school alums over there so we know it's a great place for hackers to earn some dough. Reach out to John Connolly if you're interested: jeconnol@gmail.com

Hack And Tell wrapup 26
# Subject: Round 26, Wait, really?
Tonight was great. The hacks were awesome. The crowd was awesome.
But I wanna talk about something serious for a moment.
There has been a surge of interest in Hack And Tell and we're not great about handling it yet. The reality is that this community has turned into something bigger and better than we expected and we're learning how to organize it as we go. It was initially a group of 20 of us just hanging out at meetup's offices, where gWoz (Andrew, or GNU Woz which is also Andrew) worked at the time. I'd present twice, he'd present twice, and maybe a couple other folks would show something.
Andrew and I both grew up in punk rock communities, where people did whatever they wanted and everyone just accepted it. If you wanted anyone to care about what you were doing, you had to earn their eyes and their ears by doing something cool. Not too different from how our presenter list is made. We have ten slots to fill so we just pick the stuff we like best. If it's nea

Hack And Tell wrap up 25
# Subject: Round 25, by Tom Clancy (RIP)
So, uh... I guess this email would've been easier to write last month. Especially since Mr. Clancy was alive then.
Initially, the name was to joke around with how dramatic things sound if you say they're by Tom Clancy. "The Snow Was Falling, By Tom Clancy", and now you're thinking about snow landing on top of a crashed fighter jet on Christmas.
I guess we'd have a fallen drone and some sad operator. "This is where I lost J2D2 2. The first one was in Dumbo, on a dark and stormy night."
What am I even talking about?
