Great fun at the Geek Meet held at the Texas
Embassy yesterday. Met some new people and some old friends; and even got myself
a Channel 9 Guy!!
Here’s some photos:

Lots of fun and drink to be had by everyone |
|
I wasn’t sure which 9 Guy to pick, so I picked the first one to climb up my beer. |
|
Was good to see some old friends. Here are Paul and Ola. |
|
Hmm .. all those geeks in one place .. look how many BlueTooth devices were discoverable ! |
|
A random stranger takes my blood pressure. Actually .. it was Tom Reynolds! Never met the guy before, but now his blog is in my aggregator. That’s how Geek Dinners work 🙂 |
|
Place started to fill up quite nicely. There were more than 100 people apparently. |

Hugh says a few words to warm up the crowd |
|
The crowd listen enthralled |
|
Scoble says a few words. Actually it was a rather more than a few; but really interesting stuff. He basically gave his views on a number of things; particularly how blogs are changing the corporate world by promoting a new era of transparency by bringing corporations and clients even closer together than before. Great stuff from the man himself! |

The only question in my mind is .. when’s the next one ?
