  Kick off for Podcamp Pittsburgh 3 at South Side’s Alpha Lab. Awesome food provided by Kassab’s. Beer by none other than the Should I Drink That?’s, Spoon and Sick Puppy. 

Geekstar wants you to know about Pittsburgh’s next upcoming Geek Night. Will you be there?

From www.PghGeeks.org:

The Pittsburgh high-tech industry is small, incestuous, and full of people we haven’t seen in ages but keep meaning to call and invite to lunch. So we figured, let’s get all those people in a room together for some really efficient social geekery.

Who: Geeks from All Over

Where: The Church Brew Works, 3525 Liberty Ave (Lawrenceville), Pittsburgh PA

When: Thursday, October 2, 2008

Time: 5 PM - through evening

Parking: Free in the lot behind the church

Join Geek Night Pittsburgh for the sixty-first iteration of the Pittsburgh Geek Night on Thursday, October 2, 2008. Drink beer. Trade stupid user stories. Enjoy the soothing chirp of a room full of pagers.

If you plan on coming, please send email to rsvp@pghgeeks.org so we can maintain a reasonably accurate headcount. Please mention how many heads you’re bringing, who told you about us, and your preferred email address if you would like to be added to the Geek Night mailing list.

Geek Night is held on the first Thursday of every other month. (June 7, August 2, October 4, and so on.) There’s no dress code and no cover charge.

I am attending PodCamp Pittsburgh 3. This is my 3rd Podcamp and I’m happy to be on the planning committee this year. Podcamp Pittsburgh is a FREE high quality conference that will not disappoint!

This conference is for anyone interested in blogging, vlogging, podcasting, and such. It is perfect for beginners to pros. The sessions are planned keeping all levels in mind.

Everyone is extremely friendly at the event. You don’t want to miss the Friday night Meet-n-Greet or the infamous Saturday night party. Yes…the party. You may not make it to Sunday’s classes if you attend but it is well worth the experience.

You can register for FREE at PodcampPgh.com.

Podcamp Pittsburgh is almost famous for coining the tech term “bacn” last year. “Bacn” was recognized in the NY Times. Holla.

Bacon scented bacon suit just for fun:

This is a very interesting and surprising article that all techies will enjoy.

I find this quite entertaining.

You have a chance of winning a handbag of your choice. Something just feels wrong about this.

Jbox.com sells thousands of products imported from Japan from candy to Sailor Moon costumes. The site was started by a gentleman who moved to Japan after studying Japanese at my alma mater, San Diego State University - probably the only university with a pub garden in the middle of campus!

Here are some of my favorite finds:

Looking for a Japanese Boyfriend T-shirt

I love this shirt. Not only is it cute, but it tells it like it is! I love that it is in Japanese too! Who doesn’t want a hot Japanese boyfriend? I need one to wear to my favorite hibachi restaurant. Maybe my hibachi chef will flip extra mushrooms on my plate to accompany my sesame chicken…winky wink…I think I found a new use for this shirt, extra shrimp sauce pls…
