Looking ahead on December 24th

The free Friday Open Court Workshops resume on January 9th. They run from 4 to 7 PM. Interest has built to the point where we are going to kick off a campaign on the weekend of the First Friday in February to set up the FSO (Free Space Optics) link from the building that holds The Rack at 1844 Springfield Ave. and  Scoops & Soups at 1846 to the building that holds the office of Dr. Dione M. Williams, MD, at 1787 Springfield Ave. (See http://geeksfso.blogspot.com/2013/12/introducing-geeks-fso-proof-of-concept.html )
