Pete over at /dev/null/ and I were talking today about how great it would be to get professionals from the High Tech industry in Minneapolis-St. Paul together for a monthly gathering. Think alt2600, but for professionals (as Pete put it). Currently, I am really missing the thriving social network in my field that I had access to in Chapel Hill and would love to be able to connect with folks here in my new home that are interested in the same space as myself. So, I’m putting out a call to all Minneapolis-St. Paul professionals in High Tech and am suggesting that we form a loosely organized group that would get together for beers, whatever, once a month or so. Even you button down Accenture guys are welcome. 🙂 Feel free to ping Pete, or myself on this topic and let’s see if we can get something launched in the next 30 days. This would surely be useful for people, like myself, who are involved in young tech ventures who need a social network. Most importantly, it sure would be nice to get the same level of intellectual stimulus evidenced in the college towns I have resided in the past. Post a comment if you are interested and let’s get this started.

Hey Vincent. This is what we have been up to: Tech Opus and MOSSIL/. How have you been?
Sorry but I don’t know how to add my information to that link I got from you above. What have you guys been up to lately? My email is vwinstead@yahoo.com – if you reach me there you’ll hear back from me within a day instead of these crazy 7 month gaps.
We have a new temp space located here.
added a “Topics” page…add anything interesting. Hey Aaron – since you’re the wiki god, would you rather hose the wiki? I just figured i’d do it temporarily to get the ball rolling. ownership of it is absolutely meaningless to me.
hahahaha…vince you son of a bitch. I didn’t have any contact info for you but I had Ben’s business card so I figured he could pass the info along to you. Add your info to the Wiki you bastard: http://www.blissjunkies.org/wiki/index.php?title=Geeks_TC
BTW, I loved your comment! We _do_ need to find some geeky girls…since you’re WAY better at that than me, I’m assigning that task to you 😉
URI
(Uniform Resource Identifier) The addressing technology for identifying resources on the Internet or a private intranet. URIs were originally defined as two types: Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) which are addresses with network locations, and Uniform Resource Names (URNs), which are persistent names that are address independent (see URN).
Today, a URI is defined by its purpose rather than the URL vs. URN classification. For example, the most ubiquitous URI is the HTTP URI, although much more widely known as a “URL.” The HTTP URI (URL) is a Web address typed into the Web browser or embedded in a Web page as a hyperlink. Perhaps the second most widely used URI is the MAILTO URI, which is embedded in a Web page to launch the user’s e-mail client.
For sure, the terms URI and URL will be used synonymously for years (see URL).

WHATUP party people. Vincent here. Ya, remember me? Lets find some nerdy girls too. Drinking without women somewhere closeby is a little foreign to me. What the hell is a URI
