No more excuses people\, it's 2013\, le t's get this thing done! I gave a version of this at Ruby on Ales last m onth\, but we ran out of time and couldn't do questions.

So bring your pointy sticks and lets have some fun. \;\n \;\n * Jonan Scheffler\, "\;Hacking Cognition"\;: This presentation w ill offer you some immediately actionable steps to improve your cognitiv e ability and be more efficient with your programming studies. You’ll le arn techniques mnemonists use to memorize random pages of binary digits\ , how your brain physically changes as you learn something new and how s imple changes in your daily routine can have a deep impact on your work. \;\n \;\n* ...and lots of great group discussions on Ruby-related topics. \;\n \;\nABOUT THE GROUP: The Portland Ruby Brigade\, als o known as pdxruby and pdx.rb\, is a user group for Ruby programmers in the Portland\, Oregon area.
