Codenames Online (Thursday, April 30, 2026)

Fri, 01 May 2026 00:30:00 GMT

Codenames is a fun 2-team word game that's a bit like Password but much more interesting and enjoyable for both the game itself as well as socializing with teammates. Years ago I used to play the table-top version but playing online is much better!
You can play using your computer or your phone.

Time: 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm MT

(Optional) Register in Meetup:

https://www.meetup.com/group-hsnm/events/

(Computer steps: Tap "Log in" at top right, log in, scroll down to "Events" list, find the "Codenames Online" you plan to attend, tap on it, then tap Attend Online.)

Players that are new to Codenames are very welcome.
You can take a look at it here: codenames.game
But it's much easier to learn by doing and we're happy to teach.

We have 5 committed Codenamers already. The minimum to play is 4 (2 per team) and virtually no maximum. So we'd like more players! This event is simply opening it up to all you humanists. We hope to reach at least 3 per team (total of 6).

Start here:

We use Google Meet to communicate while we're playing.

Here is the link: https://meet.google.com/izo-rfpw-cwq

If you're new to Google Meet, I recommend spending about 10 minutes ahead of start time to prepare and test your microphone and speakers. Video isn't needed.

If you're on my invitation email list:

You'll receive an email with two links sometime in the afternoon of the event. One is the link to the Google Meet meeting which never changes. The other is the link to the game itself which changes every week.

Those not receiving my email reminders:

It's easy to join us and you're totally welcome!

Just join the Google Meet meeting using this link:

https://meet.google.com/izo-rfpw-cwq

Then, at game-time, I'll provide the link for the game itself. Easy!

To be added to the email invitation list:

Send a request to my email address: gstelle@gmail.com

Fun addition: Add your own words!

Once you see how the game works you're welcome to tell me words you'd like to see appear in the grid. I've been doing this already. That's how words like "SWAMP COOLER" and "HUMANIST" got there!

UNHOLY ROLLERS BOWLING SIG (Wednesday, May 20, 2026)

Wed, 20 May 2026 19:00:00 GMT

Join the Unholy Rollers the third Wednesday of every month at Silva Lanes on Eubank. Just show up at the front desk and look human. A bowling angel will find you and direct you to Bowling Salvation! Approximate cost: $10-13. No skill required. IT'S BOWLING!

Pondering at the Pub (Wednesday, May 20, 2026)

Wed, 20 May 2026 21:30:00 GMT

Join us at Quarter Celtic Brewpub to discuss everyday practical philosophy with other humanists over a beer or two (or your fav beverage). Every 3rd Wensday of each month.

Bounce ideas off each other about life, your own or in general. Maybe throw in a bit of psychology, and of course humor too, as we enjoy sharing each other's points of view. Potentially enlightening! And you are engaging; you are participating in life.

Come with a topic you'd like to talk about or just join the conversation.
Religion and politics are okay if pertinent, objective and limited.
An academic perspective, if you have one, is always welcome.

We'll grab a table either inside or on the patio. Order a meal if you like. They have good Irish food.

You can just show up or, if you like, tell me you're coming using Meetup. To do so go to Meetup calendar. Then log in (top right). Then find the 3rd Wensday and tap on the event. Then tap Attend and go from there.
