VERY happy to see this policy, Dan! This will help filter out anyone who has anything to hide, as well.
Cheers for the community!

Argh, I'm going to miss it after all. OK, next month. Ya, we got a couple specific requests to move back the happy hour to make it easier for folks to come after work. Most others start early.

Posted Oct 18, 2007 Who's using Linux at the Desktop/Laptop? by Kevin Selkowitz
I hang out in 10.4.10 Mac OS for the moment (I have work to do, and have already played with every flavor out there over the last 25 years), but have seen a lot of my progressive friends who are techies (or semi-techie) heading into Ubuntu to experiment with on the desktop.
Few of them are business-minded about it, however. They aren't supporting a REAL business infrastructure on it. It still feels like Linux desktop is premature for anyone except a technology-based company that is willing to absorb the overhead and added hassle (file interchange, etc), or someone with religion. Perhaps that's the same thing.
Red Hat doesn't seem to have much of an impact outside the corporate server market (which was, of course, their target market), from what I can tell.
I would submit that this thread is a good example of certain folks' failure to self-moderate, so far, btw...

Posted Oct 18, 2007 Would anyone be interested in a holiday art fest by Elizabeth Lee
I think there's a lot of space in the market for this (if it's promoted well). Here's an annual event that I always look to for some unique gifts:
Makah Urban Christmas Bazaar (December) at the Rainier Valley Cultural Center. Give your special friends and loved ones unique arts, crafts and other gift items from the Makah Indian Reservation and other tribal communities.

Ha! Golden tix indeed! OMG, this is crazy enough to spin into reality. There are some profound reasons why this would be ironic. Tempting... Anyone else interested in a chocolate festival out there?

Hmmmm....I'm thinking: Seattle Chocolate Festival? Could it happen here?!?
I wonder....

Posted Oct 15, 2007 Any other indie chocolate worshippers out there? by Hannah Albert ND
OK, that took a little longer than expected, but we now have a plethora of events coming up.
Hannah and I have worked on getting a big "Sustainability in the Chocolate Industry" event going for January. Watch this space for details soon.
In the meantime we decided have a basic networking and chocolate tasting event on SATURDAY, NOV 3 from 1-3pm, with after-chocolate at BROUWER'S across the street.
And, unbeknownst to us, Victoria Odell was ALSO arranging a little nicer event which will take advantage of her wine knowledge on TUESDAY, NOV 6, beginning at 6:30pm with a brief tour at 7pm.
So there you have it! Weekend day or Weekday evening options during the first week of November. Enjoy!

Doh! Your 2nd-to-last-Monday abuts our 4th-Monday for West Seattle this month. I really wanted to go to yours too. I guess I can catch the very beginning, but will miss the conversation later... :(
Yes, I'll catch the first hour. @bri

Posted Aug 28, 2007 West Seattle Biznik Happy Hour - Tercer Parte hosted by Brian Allen
Yay, thank you Jenny. I am up and moving around again, and trying to figure out if it was something at a party Sunday or if the culprit is still sitting in my fridge.

Posted Aug 16, 2007 Interested in Doing Business in China? by Brian Allen
In a small way, you need a trusted third-party in the middle. Otherwise, you're eaten alive. If you're big, you can own them (as anyone), like Apple, Dell, etc.
You could substitute a few dozen country names for "China" in your comment, however, and it'd be just as true.
I'm not impressed by Alibaba, actually. Go direct for real contacts, and that means starting with friends in large companies here in the US.
To take advantage of economies of scale is to run the generic version of someone else's originally OEM'd hardware.
You may find a maquilladora better suited to your needs (from what it sounds like)...

Posted Aug 10, 2007 Attention Seattle Bizniks: Want to talk about your biz this afternoon on the radio? by Dan McComb
I'll go to that one! It was fun doing it on the radio (I just wish I could have heard that song a little better over my cell phone).
