Friday, March 8
On Friday at 10 a.m., join me and Computer Coach for the online session, Beyond the Circuit: The Everlasting Role of Hardware Skills. Software may be eating the world, but software needs hardware to run! In this talk, I’ll talk about the value of knowing how hardware works, as well as how to get started on building your hardware skills. Find out more and register here.
The big event of the week happens on Friday at 6 p.m. at the BX2 Event Space at University Mall — the Spring Technology Festival, which also happens to be a 50th birthday party for local techie-about-town Tracy Ingram! But it’s more than a birthday party; it’s a celebration of Tampa Bay’s tech scene, which has come a long way. The event will unite various local tech entities, highlight the achievements of women in technology, and generate support for Girls Who Code. It’s not just a celebration of historical milestones but also a platform to foster future innovations and collaborations in the Tampa Bay tech community. If you’re interested in our local tech scene, join us at this event! Find out more and register here.

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 scrapes 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 judgment 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 and other events related to improving your presentation and public speaking skills, 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
