“We’ve got a long way to go, and a short time to get there” – Jerry Reed, Eastbound and Down
As I sit down to actually write this…I realize that yep, there’s an awful lot going on…and I’m pretty sure I’m going to skip something important. So here are the highlights, and I have little doubt that someone out there will assuredly remind me if I forget anything.
We’ve got our event tomorrow night at the Red Ox in Utica, CloudDevDay was awesome…well, with one noted exception, we’d like you to help protect Ernie Harwell’s legacy, and we’re hunting for locations for future events. There’s more, I’m sure…
…well, let’s get started. It’ll come to me. Hopefully. Guess we’ll find out…
As always, we begin where we always begin: our next event. It takes place tomorrow night (Thursday the 16th) and it’s out at the Red Ox Tavern in Utica. As with all of our events, it starts at 5:01pm (right after work, so get there!) and will run for several hours. For details on the event, you can hit the listings:
On our site: http://www.ITinTheD.com/event/juneredox/
On LinkedIn: http://events.linkedin.com/ITintheD-org-June-Happy-Hour/pub/675164
We’ve heard from quite a few new folks coming out, so we’re looking forward to seeing everyone there!
Our July event is also on the books, August is pretty well set, and you people need to hit http://www.ITinTheD.com/1908/ITintheD-location-hunt/ and give us some feedback on future event locations because…well, because we’re actually the kind of people that try and do what you think will help make things work better for you. Sometimes. Don’t think we’re making a habit of it or anything, so take advantage of the opportunity while it’s here.
If you’re a .Net developer who’s looking for more information about cloud development and a good Q&A session (aha! here’s one of those things I was forgetting), you might want to check out MI-GANG’s event tonight. Plus, apparently they’ll be giving away just about anything and everything you can think of (well, not everything…I mean, they’re not giving away children from third world countries, which unfortunately means that neither Madonna nor Angelina Jolie will be in attendance) up to and including an XBox 360 with a Kinect, software licenses, books and more. Check ’em out, they’re good people.
On the topic of the cloud, I went to CloudDevDay this past Saturday and had a great time. If you’re interested in a recap, you can check it out here: http://www.ITinTheD.com/1916/clouddevday-recap/
Which segues into the latest Don’t Be That Guy to go live – Don’t Be That Guy: Mister Microphone out at http://www.ITinTheD.com/1930/dont-be-that-guy-mister-microphone/
…and speaking of Don’t Be That Guy (I’m getting good at this “transition” and “segue” stuff, huh?), the Detroit Public Library is apparently chock full of That Guy, because they’re letting Ernie Harwell’s enormous, donated collection of baseball memorabilia from his own personal collection get stolen, go to waste, and be generally unavailable to the public. I’m not even a baseball guy and I realize how stupid that is. So head on over to http://www.ITinTheD.com/1913/help-protect-ernie-harwells-legacy/, read, and then go ‘do’.
And for those of you looking for something to go “do” during the day like a new job (okay, confession: I’m not good at transitions and segues…I just have major ADD and some serious random synaptic firings, that’s all), we have plenty sitting out in our LinkedIn group at the moment. Some of those aforementioned new people that we’ve heard from are recruiters and hiring managers, and naturally they’re bringing some new jobs to fill along with them. Here’s a bit of what’s out there currently:
