About this list
How do I put this list together? It’s largely automated. I have a collection of Python scripts in a Jupyter Notebook that scrape Meetup and Eventbrite for events in categories that I consider to be “tech,” “entrepreneur,” and “nerd.” The result is a checklist that I review. I make judgement calls and uncheck any items that I don’t think fit on this list.
In addition to events that my scripts find, I also manually add events when their organizers contact me with their details.
What goes into this list? I prefer to cast a wide net, so the list includes events that would be of interest to techies, nerds, and entrepreneurs. It includes (but isn’t limited to) events that fall under any of these categories:
- Programming, DevOps, systems administration, and testing
- Tech project management / agile processes
- Video, board, and role-playing games
- Book, philosophy, and discussion clubs
- Tech, business, and entrepreneur networking events
- Toastmasters (because nerds really need to up their presentation game)
- Sci-fi, fantasy, and other genre fandoms
- Self-improvement, especially of the sort that appeals to techies
- Anything I deem geeky

CoreX Legal is a Tampa-based law firm whose lawyers operate in the intersection of law and technology, and they’re holding an online seminar with the intriguing title Useful AI Tools and How to Use (or Tolerate) Them in Your Business. It’s happening this Thursday, July 20th at 12:00 p.m., and you can register (it’s free) here.
Here’s their writeup of the event:
The advent of the widespread use of artificial intelligence tools has occasioned significant legal and ethical concerns on many fronts. Notably, it seems likely that many uses of artificial intelligence involve rampant copyright infringement. Further, use of these tools can give rise to confidentiality, privacy, and security concerns.
Should governments regulate AI? Should companies enact policies regarding employee use of AI? What are the risks for people just trying to keep up with the latest technology.
Who the f**k knows, but this webinar will try to figure it all out … and give you own tools to navigate the rocky AI landscape in your business.
