Super Happy . . .

For those of you in Silicon Valley, I ran across a great group the other day call SuperHappyDevHouse (http://superhappydevhouse.org/). It’s a group that organizes a series of events for passionate technologists to get together, share ideas, meet new like minded people . . . and have fun. The DevHouse is trying to “resurrect the spirit of the Home Brew Computer club.” For those of you who aren’t old farts like me and are not familiar with the HBC, it was a local group started by Gordon French and Fred Moore in the mid-seventies. Some of the original members of the HBC included Adam Osborne, Steve Jobs, and Steve Wozniak. Our very own David I was an early member of the Southern California Computer Society, which was a like minded group in So Cal (as I’m sure you could have guessed by the name) in the mid-seventies as well.

Given they are not interested in having sales / marketing “pukes” attend (my words, not theirs) . . . I told the three amigos who organize the events that I was the last guy in the world they would want at the DevHouse. . . but that I thought it was a cool idea and would to like to help them out in some way.

If live in or are visiting the valley, go to the web site and check it out. The next event is tomorrow in Los Gatos. Show up, have a beer or two, eat some chicken wings, learn something new, and meet some great people!
