Paul Badger of Modern Device at November 2007 Providence Geek Dinner

Friday, December 14th, 2007

This past Geek Dinner got super-hands on. Paul Badger of Modern Device not only gave a talk on the work he’s done in physical computing and with his bare-bones Arduino clone, but he also led an hands-on workshop where geeks came and built their own Bare Bones Boards. Check out the interview for the whole story.

This past Geek Dinner was a heavily-attended double header (RI Nexus and Traction Software)! Chris Nuzum of Traction Software spoke about their award-winning enterprise wiki… it’s actually much more than a wiki. Check out the interview to learn more!

Jack Templin and Saul Kaplan introduced RI Nexus at Wednesday’s Geek Dinner. It was a huge crowd, maybe our biggest ever—just what you’d want for a double header (RI Nexus and Traction Software)! Saul joined me after the RI Nexus presentation. Check out the video for the complete interview.

Pam O’Hara of BatchBlue at Providence Geeks

Friday, May 25th, 2007


Pam O’Hara and Sean Ransom spoke about BatchBlue to an well-fed and enthusiastic crowd at the May 2007 geek dinner. Attendees got to hear about BatchBlue’s innovative take on contact management systems, and anyone who parted with a business card went home with the BatchBlue roast of coffee beans. I interviewed Pam after the talk, and the video is available on YouTube.

Big thanks to Pam, Sean, and all the Providence geeks who turned out for yet another great geek dinner!
