I’ve been feeling really good about the tech-scene going on around Chicago (yeah, that’s really nerdy to say out loud). Coming off of “a high” from Gnomedex, it’s nice to see this attitude carrying on locally…
The local crew has a couple of tricks up their sleeves which will be announced soon TechCocktail happened last week [...]

Philip “Pud” Kaplan (pud.com): - FuckedCompany - Building buzz [...]

Mike Arrington (of TechCruch): The day started out [...]
