I’ve been to the triangle TweetUp hosted by Bronto for three years running. It is a great time and place to catchup with twitter friends, learn about cool things going on, and drink some good local beers. This year it included a mini ignite section, where six people got up and did five minute lightning talks. Having just done a lightning talk of sorts at IBM’s impact conference the week before, I really enjoyed the fact that these talks were truly personal, not focused on specific technology.

I also had the enjoyment of talking with both Drewand Tim. Tim told me about a great application for the Mac which I hope to use to start doing a few screencasts about my favorite apps. Go check out Reflections App.

I realize that working on this blog, along with my other activities at Games at work, Wasted time and my day job I’ve not been able to keep a nice cadence of entries over here. To that end, I am reaching out to others In the local community over the next few months to see if we can expand the base of bloggers on your favorite local app developers. More to come on that front.
