What the hell is this?

This is NUBtalks. It's every other week. We have two speakers from the crowd of people who show up, and we say, "Are you interesting and eciting and doing interesting things? Can you talk in front of 100 people?"

What's the organization behind it?

NUBlabs. We're in our third month—we're an engineering/product design firm I guess? That's the easiest way to describe it. It's mostly about solving social problems.

What are you interested in doing?

We're interested in social problems in our immediate environment; we go to high schools and say, "What are you paying way too much for that we can make for you a lot cheaper?"

Who is talking now?

This is Charlie DeTar. He's talking about technology and happiness. We've had people talk about an NGO in Zimbabwe; we had one of the kids that hacked the MBTA a few weeks ago. We're looking for people in the community who're doing anything cool in any field.

That's a broad topic.

So you could talk about working at the Weekly Dig.

That would be very boring.
