February is upon us, with its reminders of love, romance, fertility,
and deadly massacres carried out against the Chicago Mob. (Dead
Mafioso costumes are, as always, encouraged.)

Last month traumatized us all with Klown Sex, the results of the
NoisePoll, the most James-Bond watch you can hack on, and so much
more. This month is your turn. Do you have an awesome project you’ve
been hacking on? Got a great idea that’ll change the world? Have a pet
marsupial who really needs the attention that only a detailed
PowerPoint presentation can justify? Now’s your chance! Submit your
talk and prepare for fame that extends to the farthest reaches of the
SF Hacker Elite.
