Girl Geek Dinner 3 Recap

Our group of gal geeks met for dinner in Harvard Square and rattled off geekery as though we’d been starved of it our whole lives. But we were also productive!
Over a bevy of of yummy food and drinks, we determined the following:
Motto: Wine. Agile. Salon. Women.

What is this all for, anyways?

We’ve recently redesigned the Boston Girl Geeks website (as you’ve now noticed) and we’re trying to decide what kind of Girl Geeks we want to be.
Do we want guest speakers?
Do we want to have topics for discussion?
Are boys allowed?

Future of the Interwebs

In wonderful Star Wars fashion, the Pew Internet Project has written up their latest wonderful report on the Future of the Internet. It’s called “The Future of the Internet III“. I wish they had subtitled it. Perhaps The Future of the Internet III: The Mobile Hope?
Pew surveyed hundreds of leaders in the field, asking them [...]

So what’s percolating in Beantown?

I was shocked at how many tech PR girls there are in Boston- what is there to shout about? What’s the tech buzz about town? What are the firms to watch, the startups, the mainstays?
