We are going to do a Geek South Social for the dinner this month. Essentially we are going to just meet and greet, and talk about the rest of the 2010 year events.
There was a planning meeting done for the January meeting. We laid down tentative ideas and topics. Geeks then [...]

Are we starting to pry away from Winter’s icy grip? Maybe for just a little break? We just wanted to let everyone know we are still here and will be having Geek South dinners again in 2010. We hope everyone had a fantastic holiday season! We truly hated that time flew [...]

I recently discovered a really cool idea – a Hacker Dojo – in Mountain View CA. Would any of our Geeks be interested in starting one up here in the TRI?

Not since July 17th 2007 has Geek South hosted a thumb smokin’ mobile device show down. We have the new Droid in the hands of a Geek South member who is looking forward to a face-off! So we want you to bring your phone with its fancy apps to join the battle. I know we [...]

Don’t forget about the Forums.  Yes they are still there.  Dave Sieg just posted a job opening there.
There is an RSS feed available for the forums if that makes it easier to follow along.

The end of the analog television era has been years in the making, but enough uncertainty abounds that Congress has pushed off the transition date, requiring broadcast companies to justify their switch to digital on the original February 2009 date.
Tim Siglin, contributing editor for Streaming Media magazine will separate fact from fiction on the television switch as well [...]

As we were leaving last night’s GeekSouth, Ben and I found a small notebook with a silver cover and the Eastman logo on it. Someone had forgotten it on one of the tables. If it’s yours, please get in touch and we’ll get it back to you.
