Refresh Austin has a Sweet New Website

January 20, 2008 • View Comments • Blogs

So I planned to go to the Refresh Austin website to leave a comment to the effect of “Hey, what’s up with this bunk wiki that’s been outdated for four months?” and what did I find? A lovely, revamped website! Very cool. If you are looking to meet up with a diverse group of tech professionals in the Austin area, I suggest checking it out. You will see the calendar of all upcoming events as well as photos from previous ones. If you are too lazy to periodically check the site, there is this lovely tool called the RSS feed that will allow you to keep up with Refresh Austin without even trying.

Sad you didn’t get to join in on the Refresh Austin website fun? Were you in on it, but thirsty for more? Geek Austin is having a logo contest. We are announcing the winner at our official SxSW party. One lucky designer will win a.) fabulous prizes, which we are currently hitting up some sponsors for and b.) a credit link in the Geek Austin footer. For those who don’t know me, I’m usually not as annoyed as I seem in the cartoon for this contest.

Kicking it at the Kungfu Refresh Happy Hour

Ok, so I threw a Refresh event at Gingerman even though I’ve never been active and some people went. Much thanks to Nertzy for recognizing my alley oop pass and taking it home by passing the word.

GeekAustin and RefreshAustin Celebrate the King’s Birthday at JBlack’s

January 9, 2008 • View Comments • Events I've Attended

OK, Lynn, Whurley and I really hope you all had a great time at JBlack’s tonight. No arrests were made and I don’t think there was any geek loving going on in the bathroom. Just fun times with a great bunch of people, a concerned Time Warner Cable guy, and a bunch of Elvises.

So GeekAustin.org is a bit “outdated.” We thought about competing with Jakob Nielsen’s site for the most old school looking site still on the web, and figured it wasn’t worth the hassle. What does this mean to you, the humble GeekAustin reader? It means we have to have a contest, of course!

GeekAustin is asking every good designer in town to design a logo for us. We will announce the winner at the (drumroll) GEEK AUSTIN SXSW PARTY. Get creative and have fun. Be sure to check into the site or subscribe to our RSS feed for more details. Here’s the link to the Everything GeekAustin Feed. If you are the partying type and just want a feed to our events, get your party on with this Geek Austin feed. If you prefer a more direct approach, check out GeekAustin’s Job Feed.

Much thanks to RefreshAustin for having this party with us. You guys are awesome.

Now you get to see all your lovely pics. Check out my GeekAustin pool of photos, and be sure to add your own so as to show off your awesome Ansel Adams skillz (Lord knows, I need to improve mine). The pool is located here:

Thanks again, I’m hitting the sack!
