I would like to start a Tai Chi Push hands group in Redwood Shores. I envision a non-competitive group where students of any discipline can test and improve their skills in a friendly,relaxed manner. I used to be part of San Jose Tai Chi push hands group in Townsend Park and I learned so much from the guys teaching there that I could never have learned in class. I am new to Redwood Shores and would also like to meet new friends in the neighborhood! I have taken Chen Tai Chi and most recently Imp …

I dream of gathering a bunch of wildly creative fiber people and working on the same object at the same time somehow. The goal would be to see just how uniquely we could combine our talents and create something unusual, funny, bizarre - but mostly have fun playing with possibilities by connecting fibers. I think of the quilt circles where all the quilters are working on the same quilt. Well, they are usually kind of working independently but they are working on the same object. And it's more int …

It would be really good if you could find someone to just sit with you while you talk about whatever it is. You could hear yourself think and probably figure out what's best for you eve …

Ubiquitous Media is the messy collision of ubiquitous computing, augmented reality, physical computing, personal sensing, transmedia and urban systems.
