OK, so you can't make it to Convergence in Bloomington, Minnesota this weekend, because you live in some strange foreign backwater like the United Kingdom. I guess you could go to the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition instead, if you live somewhere out that way. It's going on right now, 3-8 July.

Due to a work conflict I only get to go to CONvergence through Friday evening this year - maybe I'll check out some science videos. :)
