Blogging while Brown
By adamg on Thu, 04/14/2011 - 1:53pm
Is a newish group in the Boston area for bloggers of color. They're holding a meetup tomorrow at the wonderfully named Microsoft NERD Center, between 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. It'll be one of those rare chances to see me outside of my natural habitat (i.e., slouched over a dining-room table in the remotest part of Roslindale), since I'll be the guest speaker.

for some value of brown
At first I thought this would be for a local Republican Senator ;-)
Just curious -- why did they pick someone decidedly non-brown to be their guest speaker?
It's the first part of their name
I'm like the Ron Burgundy of Boston blogging (although I'm probably more like one of the PBS guys, except I've yet to push anybody into a bear pit).
What can Brown do for you?
I thought it was going to be about UPS
Skin color of bloggers
Skin color of bloggers doesn't matter.
One can pretend it matters, especially if it gives an excuse to network.
Thank you, Mr. Colbert
But unfortunately, it seems there are cases where it does still matter.
But yeah, NERD Center! I can't believe I've never been there before.
fubar
I kind of expected to see you there last weekend at BarCamp.
Hey, I was at BarCamp!
How did I miss you? I've wanted to meet you for years.
Microsoft NERD Center is a really cool place that all sorts of technology meet-up groups use for get-togethers. Many of them are for open-source technologies such as PHP that Microsoft would never willingly go near.
Sheesh even I'VE been there
I was there for a local industry association meeting not too long after they opened. Picture Microsoft trying to copy Google's environment. Shocking, I know--the thought of Microsoft copying something someone ELSE did first?
It's a pretty decent space though, and it's a good room to have a meeting assuming you'll be in he same one I was in.
MSFT
Nobody goes to Microsoft if they can get a comparable job at Google.
Congratulations on your color promotion!
So... which color are you now?
You wouldn't happen to be a quark, would you?
That takes lobes
Nobody's ever called me a Ferengi before.
Charmed, I'm sure
.
Nah, just strange
.
He has his ups and downs
No longer a quark
Hasn't everyone in publishing upgraded to InDesign by now?
On the Internet,
Yo
I can't tell you how marginalized I get for keeping it real and representing my hood by blogging on the Internet and running a bevy of ads and trackers. Things are so different for bloggers of color. Hate the game, not the player.
Wish I could be there
I have a long-standing obligation that I can't get out of otherwise I'd be there.
You're the man Adam - you've connected so many of us.
I'd like to be kept informed about the group.
Thank You!
Adam, as always it was a pleasure! Thanks for making our first Blogging While Brown Boston Meetup a success.
