Implementing strategies based on incorporating biases sounds really interesting. Its a little bit as if there were a game of charades where a bunch of people sat around implementing a line of c code in assembly, and then people try to interpret what code is being implemented (only, to me, a bit more exciting). It really gets at the nuts and bolts, I think, of how everyone feels these biases work on the behavioral level, higher level descriptions aside.

Also, I'm a Portlander as well, I just joined the mailing list but didn't make it down to the lucky lab last time. I'm hoping to make it in the future at some point.
