Boston Media Makers

Just got back from another session of Boston Media Makers at Doyle's Pub in Jamaica Plain and I'm encouraged by the intelligence of the social media crowd in and around Boston. When people say we're one of the hubs of technology and SocMed engagement, I am thrilled to just smile and nod.

Today at the meetup (or is it a Tweetup?), I saw a 360° camera, heard about some folks building their own Hackintosh (it's a Mac you make with spare parts from other computers and often from PCs or Windoze machines), saw some sneakers that don't crease when you wear them - maybe the other Jeffrey Cutler should blog about them on his All White Kicks blog), and enjoyed a great book swap.

If you'd like to attend a #bmm event, just show up at Doyle's on the first Sunday of any month. Starts around 10AM and goes until noon.

More details available at Boston Media Makers.

What did you do today? It's often the question posed by people at home when you finish the workday. Or it's what people say to you at the bar when you're done at the office.

Well, today was a fun little jaunt into networking for me. I attended Boston Media Makers where I saw dozens of friends and colleagues including Steve Garfield, Joselin Mane, Adam Zand, Melinda Green, Reiko and Tom Beach, Lane Sutton and more.

The talk of the day was solving issues with DSLR (step up Adam Weiss), putting on the best events (like the MegaTweetup on Dec. 16 at NERD), and a lot of cool gadgets and gear (like the jacket worn by Phil Campbell with about a gazillion pockets and features).

In all, a great session at Doyle's. I'm looking forward to the next meeting --- on New Year's Day, so mark your calendar.

So, what did you do today? Or this week?
