SF needs a meetup focused on Server Side Javascript, and in particular, Node.js. Goals for the group are to spread ideas about Server Side Javascript, Node.js in particular, socialize projects, and discuss the technology and best practices. We'd like to keep the group informal but focused on technology and interesting projects. I think the ideal group would be made up of developers on OSS projects, site/app builders, systems integrators, architects, designers, freelancers/consultants, and eve …

… I met people who inspired me, people who helped propel me out of the locked way of thinking that a big corporation (in my case HBOS PLC) demands of the minds in attendance. But still I remained a slave, wearing my tie as I woke up before dawn to go and sell investments to unsuspecting people. But fate had different ideas in store for little Charlie. The economic controlled demolition of the world monetary system had me out on the street by the 1st May 2009, jobless. Suddenly I was able to do wh …

Shamanic journeying is an opportunity to meet with one's guides and visit other realms of existence. You may go into a journey with a question, and meet various beings who will often give very good advice and information. This kind of work can be very inspiring and empowering.

However, if a participant's belief system won't go there, and she/he credits it all to imagination, it can st …

Tabletop role playing and board games in the East Bay. Am feeling around to see if there is interest in having a weekly, monthly, whatever, gaming group in the El Sobrante/Pinole/San Pablo area.
