We attended the Inaugural Meeting of the Athanasius Kircher Society last night, which featured:

• Savant Kim Peek, who remembers 98% of everything he experiences. (Funes the Memorious?)
• Nathan True's Time Fountain.
• A demonstration of Solresol, which could have been better for various reasons.
• Col. Joseph Kittinger Jr., who jumped to earth from 102,000 feet.

In all, a delightful and enlightening evening. I didn't take pictures but here's a Flickr set. Being our Resident Expert on the History of Scientific Congresses and Societies, Ph.Deb is going to offer her services to the Athanasius Kircher Society in the interests of Historical Accuracy.
