Manoa Geeks - March 2009 March 26, 2009

Time flies when you're geeking out. It's time to think ahead to the next Manoa Geeks! I think we're all hungry for a chance to immerse ourselves in a room full of fun, brilliant people to share ideas, show off our latest projects, and catch up. Once again we're blessed to have a host with an eye for technology and great space for talkstory... plus, free parking!

Hopefully this note reaches you early enough to mark your calendars and to start collecting cool links and things to share. If you've got something you want to demo, let me know ASAP -- we'll have demos this time, I promise! Many of us will be fresh out of SXSW with great stories to tell. Please invite your friends! I'll send another reminder a week or so before the meetup as well.
