Finally back in Pittsburgh this week since I'm scheduled to give a talk about "Charity Fundraising in Social Games" for the local game developers association this Thursday evening at the Beehive. Which reminded me that I should finally get around to summarizing all the talks, panels, and speaking engagements I've ...

One reason I like attending conferences in Pittsburgh is that you never know who you'll accidentally run into. With a relatively small and tight-knit tech/startup/gaming/social-media/etc community, you often run into the same faces time and time again.

Besides the standard adoption of their bylaws and other miscellaneous paperwork, we also need to fully convert our rebranding from PAAYPA (Pittsburgh Asian-American Young ...

Last night I went to two very well-attended geeky events celebrating simultaneous momentous occasions. Yesterday was Pittsburgh Bloggers' third birthday and the birth of DevHouse Pittsburgh.
While our celebratory cake was not quite as geeky as the one pictured above, the room was packed and we even had some new faces ...
