I hope you all had a fantastic summer and didn’t miss us too hard. 🙂 As we close up the lake place for the season, say hello to hoodie weather, and welcome back a flood of college children, we also approach the last three Fargo Nerd Nites of 2024. So kick off your fall of learning with our September show! Details:
Graphics, Guns, and Glory
One Nerd’s view of the history of the first-person shooter game.
Rick Reichenbach is a major nerd, older than the first networked computers. In junior high he built a transistor radio and had a chemistry set, and is a self-taught programmer (at least to start). Now he teaches programming, computer networking, and building/troubleshooting computers. Has seen every Star Wars movie (except for the original), even the rereleases, on opening day.
Intro to Fostering/ Adopting a Dog Through a Rescue Organization
This presentation will focus on how to become a foster for a local rescue organization with a brief overview of 4 Luv of Dog and Homeward. This will include the application process, preparing for a new pet, resources provided to you while fostering, introducing resident pets to new fosters, acclimating a new foster into your home, and time commitment for events and appointments. I will also include my experience with adopting a rescue puppy from both rescues.
Susie Mueller is a mom of five grown kids, grandma to one (soon to be 2!), and a nurse investigator for the State of Minnesota. She was born and raised in Moorhead, where she currently lives with her husband Lee and their 3 dogs Stella, Roo, and Izzie. In her spare time she enjoys spending time with her family and friends. She loves to be at the lake fishing or just lounging in the sun, as well as all things travel.
A Modest [Beer] Proposal
Is Natural Lite the Perfect Beer? We thought so, so we used the scientific method to prove (or disprove) it. Find out how!
Tracy Kurtz is a has-been chemist living in a microbiologist’s world. When she’s not hustling for Nerd Nite speakers, she’s fostering adoptable dogs, designing and expanding her backyard pollinator garden, figuring out new ways to reduce her plastic waste, and planning her eventual transition into supervillainy.
Plus laughs, prizes, beer, and general shenanigans. See your gorgeous faces on Thursday Sept 19th, 7PM (doors at 6:30) at The Cellar at Front Street Taproom. Tickets available in advance on Eventbrite, or bring $10 to the door. (Same price either way- we eat the fees for the fiber content.)
