The NFI Studios blog had a very nice post about our little group today. I want to thank Lynda Raphael (any relation to Sterling?) for writing such a positive post. She even quoted Mr. Richard Florida (who is not the namesake for our group, but) whose writings are often compared with our grassroots community-building efforts […]

I just noticed on a PeachPit Press blog that Blog Orlando was mentioned. Normally I don’t read their blogs, but I happened to come

Someone sent me an email this morning saying that OrlandoSentinel.com was running a story on the upcoming BarCamp on Sept 23rd at Taste.

For the record, the last time someone came to Starlight Theater to review […]

This is 2 weeks old, but I said I wanted to showcase our members who make it to print or other media. Alex Rudloff put together a statistics site for micro-blogging tool Twitter called Twitterholic, and it got mentioned in a New York Times article.
Great article about Twitter in the NYT, Twitterholic even got a […]

Today’s news is: the news!
