Also on the panel were Hemant Taneja of General Catalyst and David Cohen of TechStars.

I and approx. 1023 of my closest friends (no, seriously I estimated this) will be attending #WebInno25 on Mon. March 1st at the Sonesta Hotel in Cambridge.
Such a crowd is both good (the person you really want to meet is probably there) and bad (you don’t have a snow ball’s chance in hell of finding [...]

The Saturday after the WinterCane of 2010, I decided to visit the seawall at Nantasket Beach and enjoy one well deserved cup of coffee.

At the shoutout intros around 9:30 there were about 30 people there.
I had an 8 am mtge scheduled with a quasi geek who was a no show so I got sucked into the early part of OpenCoffee when people gathered around my table. [note to young geeks... if you're "not a morning person," admit [...]

FakeSteveJobs jokingly proposed an operation ChokeHold to protest AT&T’s lack of bandwidth for the Apple’s iPhone. He suggests that iPhone users clobber AT&T with bandwidth intensive apps on Friday at high noon (eastern time).
Operation ChokeHold would constitute a classic Denial of Service (DoS) attack which is highly illegal.

The MIT Balloon Challenge Team just sent out an email to their “thousands” of team members congratulating them on winning the great DARPA balloon hunt.
Apparently it will take them quite some time to determine how to divide the award. You see, the first person to correctly report the coordinates of a balloon (within .1 [...]

Per the photo’s of the various balloon sites, it looked like DARPA staffed each of the mooring sites with three geeks. Since the great red balloon hunt was supposed to last up to nine days DARPA actually saved (8 days x 3 geeks) 24 geek days of personnel cost by having the contest completed [...]
