The end of the month is sort of light on tech events in Ann Arbor, but STILL there are things to do within driving distance! PyOhio is going on in Columbus, Ohio on Saturday July 26. It's a free event, and includes talks, open spaces, lightning talks...
The Ann Arbor Art Fairs (the "s" is critical because there are several running concurrently) bring a half million visitors to our town. Parking is difficult, and driving can be challengine. All of that means that some people avoid downtown that...
It's the first week of the month again ... so there are user group meetings galore. Wednesday, June 4 at 6:00 pm is the Ann Arbor Computer Society meeting. The topic is PostgreSQL 8.3 and Beyond. PostgreSQL is a free and open source database. The...
On Tuesday April 22, Joe O'Brien, famed Ruby developer and Columbus area business owner, will be speaking at the Ann Arbor Java User Group. He will be discussing JRuby, Ruby that runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Sun is putting a lot of resources...
We're canceling lightning talks for today. The roads weren't too bad coming in, but I did get stuck trying to go up a hill (had to back down). Working at a coffee shop this morning, I really appreciate having an office. The light was dim, the...
The weather forecast is for lots of snow, but if the forecast is wrong, then we'll have lightning talks. Nate (our intern) is planning to talk about what he's learned about Google checkout. I had him doing a research project for event registration...
We had a large crowd for lightning talks today (11 people is a good turnout). Bill Wagner talked about the Halloween problem . Rick Harding talked about Google SketchUp and how he's using it for laying out his garage. Bill Heitzeg talked about Javadoc...
OK, it's that time of year again. Michigan vs. Ohio State for the Big 10 Championship. And the game is IN Ann Arbor this year, so, at the suggestion of one of our consultants (thanks Peggy!), we have decided to "theme" our lightning talks...
My talk has been accepted at CodeMash . I'll be leading a discussion about Scala, which is combines functional and object-oriented programming and runs on the JVM. Yes, the JVM is the Java Virtual Machine, but much like the CLR (which is the .NET...
The Michigan Python User Group is meeting here tonight. The meeting will be a Python free-for-all, which should be a lot of fun. Lightning Talk Fridays contine tomorrow (November 2), from 3-5. Come with a topic or just your interest. Wednesday November...
To avoid Thanksgiving week and some other conflicts, we "resequenced" the lightning talks for Novermber. We're doing another set of lightning talks this Friday, November 2, from 3-5 pm (and then the 16th and 30th as well). We hope that we...
Nearly 2 weeks ago, we started our lightning talks at SRT on a Friday afternoon. About 10 people showed up and we had some entertaining and interesting talks, including one by Andrew Turner on geolocation and another from Mark Ramm comparing Javascript...
Don't forget to show up at our office (206 S. Fifth Ave, Suite 200, Ann Arbor) tomorrow! Our series of Lightning Talks start tomorrow, and continue biweekly after that. We'll start around 3 and go til around 5 or whenever people stop talking about...
On Tuesday night, we had an open house for customers and friends at our new office, 206 S. Fifth Ave, Suite 200, in Ann Arbor (across from the Blue Nile, just above the Linux Box). It was great to see people we haven't seen in a while, and we had...
Once we decided to rent the new office (instead of working out of homes, coffee shops, and borrowed conference rooms), we started to think about all of the cool things that we could do once we had our own space. One idea, of course, was to host user group...
