tech user groups
One of the things I do when I'm not doing anything else is attend local technical user group meetings. I started back in the late 1990s when a friend wanted to organize a group for Web and Internet professionals and I cataloged the current groups in the area, then kept updating the list over time.
(I get a few emails regularly about the page, and they fall into three categories:
a) someone telling me a group doesn't meet anymore, or there's a new group and would I add it - off course, thanks for the help
b) someone asking me if there's a local user group for (their specific niche interest) that I know about but don't list it and would I tell them how to contact them - Yes, there's a SECRET list of elite groups in the area and I, I am the doorman. Umm, can't help, if I know about it it's on the page.
c) Some recruiter asking me if I have a single email address or web form I've assembled to email all the groups at once with all the job listings - No, I've never created that. )
Recents:
Monday: ExitEvent's monthly gathering of techies, entrepreneurs, job hunters, people looking for new projects, and so on.
Thursday: TriUPA web seminar hosted at SAS.
Triangle Analysts hosted at MaxPoint Interactive, later at Saffron, which has amazing Indian food and I recommend it now.

Acid Mothers Temple
May 5th I saw Acid Mothers Temple with Phantom Family Halo and Clang Quartet at Local 506 in Chapel Hill. I've seen AMT several times and enjoyed them every show. AMT plays extremely heavy, complex, instrumental psychedelic rock. Great stuff. Phantom Family Halo kept giving me mental echoes of the Doors, were excellent and I'll gladly see them again. Clang Quartet, my friend Scotty played his usual intense noise set.

Triangle Tweetup
Last night was the Triangle Tweetup, a gathering of Twitter people in the area: mostly software, entrepreneurs, people in startups/wanting to start one/done with the last one and wanting to start another/techies/social media types/etc. Third one hosted by Bronto Software, who I will repay their hospitality by noting here that they are actively expanding and hiring and go look if you're looking. There. Nice place. Mini-Ignite 5minute lightning talks went well. Fun evening.

Periodic Tables
Tuesday ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=91.7) maegwynn and I went to Durham for Periodic Tables, a monthly sciences talk every second Tuesday organized by the Museum of Life and Science (of dinosaur trail fame) and held at Broad Street Cafe. This month's talk was on transgenic mosquitoes, and next month is (below the cut) the statistics of Moneyball. ( another pic within )

your late night lullaby
I am not happy in the slightest with today's news. But people have told me that I'm really, really bad about letting go of an issue. Tomorrow we continue. ( do it again )
