I follow a ton of local stuff on Twitter, Facebook and blogs. I’m always looking for other local people interested in pretty much anything to do with technology. Especially programming, development, social media and blogging. That’s where I live, so to speak. So tonight I saw a tweet that Huntsville has a Beer and Blog. I missed the event tonight but I’m still thrilled to find that it exists and plan on checking it out the next meeting, which is next Tuesday.
On the BNB site it looks like they are using the Ignite style of presentations, which I think will be excellent. Something I think would be a pretty cool thing to try at the local web developers meetup which has had a very strong attendence since Brian and the gang at Dealnews took over the meetup.
Anyone know of any other meetups of the more geeky/technical kind in the Huntsville area?

Yeah, sorry you missed it too! But no worries. Looks like you have a lot of the info already but just in case…
We meet every Tuesday night at West End Grill on Old Madison Pike. The scheduled time is 5-7 but its more like 5ish to 7ish. I think last night we didn’t leave till after 8. Its come when you can, leave when you need to… pretty casual.
They have pretty good food and a respectable selection of brews but you don’t have to eat. Snack if you want, drink soda, coffee, whatever… again, pretty casual.
We’re just getting started with the Ignite style speed presos. The idea is to have two to three a week to give us some things to talk about. We’ll probably start those around 6, give everybody a chance to get there.
Thanks for shouting us out, really appreciate that. Look forward to seeing you soon.
The website for Beer & Blog Huntsville is http://huntsville.beerandblog.com and we are on Twitter @bnbhuntsville.
Later,
