Name some interesting projects you're working on!

Zed Shaw posted a slightly interesting article about user groups, meetups, hackerspaces, social clubs, etc:

http://www.zedshaw.com/rants/the_freehackers_union.html

He says,

I tried a few user groups, but there's barely anyone doing
anything truly interesting. I really do enjoy the people who take
the time to go to a user group for their favorite tech, but at the
same time I feel like they're just there to escape their jobs.
That's sad because I run into people who say, "(sigh) I have to do
Rails", even at the Python groups. The Python group has had two
months of meetings about fucking performance tuning. I love those
guys, but holy baby jesus can we just move off of cython already?
I hear reports that even the iPhone and Cocoa user group is lame.
I mean, that group should be going ape shit right now.

Projects...someone must be doing something interesting! Phd work, grad work, web work, desktop work, work work? Tell us more, maybe even present something :D

Has anyone worked with Smalltalk or C#? What are they like compared to Common Lisp and Scheme?

== NEXT MEETUP ==

Also, we need to decide the next meetup date. I'm thinking September 11th or 18th. They're all Thursdays of course, starting at 6pm, 99% chance of being at the LinuxCaffe.

There's a fine Lisp meetup calendar here (in case you're in another city?):

If Brian C. is still up for it, he could present at the next meetup, depending on if he's available for either of the days?
