Sounds like a good list of stuff already!

Oh, there's no reason these need to be limited to "making stuff" style talks. If someone wants to do a talk on international monetary policy or alternative shoe lacing techniques or something, feel free!

I could do a things to know when buying or selling a house talk (seriously)

Ham radio?

There was talk of Ham radio a while back. How many people would be interested? I was going to contact Saskatoon Amatuer Radio Club and see if I can still join their January course. I could see if they would be interested in doing a evening or one day lesson for us.

I'd be in for this if the scheduling worked out for me, I've been meaning to get my license for far too many years. Being able to operate ham radio is an integral part of every mans zombie attack strategy.

I'd be interested in a radio workshop

Me too

James and I are licensed radio operators.

[JamesCooper]

lol, I was. I'm not sure if the license expires, but I haven't used it since I got it 15 years ago. I'd have to study up. But yes, I could help out with that.
