re:  other seminars & lectures at mit during the coming week;


other seminars & lectures at mit participants in sem089 should
be interested in attending, especially if they're able to carve
out the time :-)

anyone from the seminar who can make it should take notes on the
main points of these offerings, and kindly make them available to 
others, with or without commentary, to this list;  if the talk or 
meeting was especially relevant to the general interests of mit 
people thinking about or doing new startups, please bring it up for
discussion in the seminar the following week.

(the following was copied from the _tech info_ on-line version of
the "seminars & lectures" section of last weeks's _tech talk_.
i recommend reading this section each issue and browsing _tech info_
via athena at least once-per-week for interesting topics & people)
