ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Yochanan announced that the Webby award nominations are out now, for more info check = www.webbyawards.com
Howeird announced that the new Zoom immersive view is of a teacher's view of the classroom [which sounds quite ghastly to the secretary]
REVIEWS:
Lisa reviewed the 3rd Mars helicopter flight videos as everything is going quite fine & it's fun to watch it in operation & both Yochanan & Howeird agree, with Craig finding it quite amazing & thought the color is cool & Gerry volunteered to explain the science of it if you email him
Candace reviewed Penguicon as she really enjoyed it & found the conversion tool to adjust to their time zone was extremely helpful
John O reviewed CostumeCon 39 - Things that go bump in the night - as examples of things that go bump on the net and that there are hopes it will be held in person next year. He said there were interesting panels to attend & that local costumers won the ICG award, plus he found that Sunday of the con was truly silly & funny & he looks forward to 2023 when CostumeCon can be held in our area again and it was very well organized. There were several follow-on comments & Lisa had fun

& then John O reviewed 'Kong, Skull Island' as a different take of the subject & worth seeing & that there were several 'Marvel'ous actors in the film
Yochanan reviewed 'Midnight Sky' with George Clooney as not great, but not bad, just uneven & that it was free to watch; then reviewed seeing the Oscar animated nominated shorts as great to watch & that 3Below is set up magnificently; & then reviewed the conclusion to 'Falcon & the Winter Soldier' as it didn't have a real ending, but very much worth spending the time to watch
Gerry reviewed the weekend's Space X launch as everything went very, very well & there is a great picture of 11 people on the space station
we adjourned at 8:45 pm
and the rumor of the week = 'Star Trek visits Skull Island with an episode called Khaaang'
