What’s the saying for March? In like a lamb, out like a lion, gather like a geek? It’s time for another Geek Gather and we’re back at the Chatterbox this month. Come for the chatter. Come for the camaraderie. Come for the strawberry lemonade.
Directions are here Google Maps if anyone needs them.
Wilde Roast is our venue this month. Will it snow this time around too? (It was coming down pretty hard when we were there in December.) Come for the delicious food; stay for the scintillating conversation.
See you there!
Another year is upon us, as is another Geek Gather! Join us at the Chatterbox for conversation food, and strawberry lemonade (or with the cold could they be strawberry lemon slushies?)
Directions are here Google Maps if anyone needs them.

It’s time for Geek Gather for December. We’re back to Wilde Roast this month. Sadly, the Parlor Room isn’t available this time around (I checked last week), but there’s usually plenty of room even if we can’t steal power for our gear.
See you next week!
There has been a lot of push over the past many years to get more Linux onto more desktops. That’s fine, as long as the pushers keep in mind that an Operating System is, fundamentally, a means and not an end. Similarly, desktop environments are neither the journey nor the destination—they are, at most, the steering wheel and the dashboard.
It’s Geek Gather night at the Chatterbox in Saint Paul. Tomorrow Tuesday, 11/10/2009 at 6.30 pm. Look for those who are looking for you.
These sure look nice:

I still have a collection of vinyl. Somewhere. One of these would make it worth-while to break out the ol’ Discwasher again.
Geek Gatherers,
In an effort to get the dates for the monthly Gather back on track, I propose the next GG be held on 10/13/2009 at Wilde Roast in NE MPLS. 6.30 pm or after. Look for those who are looking for you.
It appears that second Tuesday can be virtually any Tuesday of the month—at least when looking at this summer’s Geek Gather schedule. So in this tradition—and in the hope to soon return to the actual second Tuesday of the month, this month’s meeting can be attended at the home of the infamous strawberry lemonade (Chatterbox) in Saint Paul this Tuesday, 9/15 at 6.30PM.
