Providence Geeks meet tonight

Providence Geeks is a loose group -- whoever shows up -- that meets monthly at AS220, 115 Empire St., and tonight's the night. There is usually a short presentation by one of them, and tonight's is by Investment Instruments President Owen Johnson, who'll be showing his company’s web-based property management tools, according to the Geeks' site.

The point, though, is to meet each other, and see what comes from that. All sorts of geeks come, and the start time is 5:30 p.m. Here's the background:

-- It’s totally casual. Wear whatever, bring whoever, arrive and vamoose whenever… And don’t worry about eating or not – come famished or full – eating is optional, and frankly, the least of the festivities.

-- Topics of conversation will vary as they will at any gathering of geeks, but many of us will be talking about AJAX, mash-ups, start-ups, new devices, innovative business models, interaction design, social computing, digital art, web services, etc. etc. etc.

-- Food and beverages are for sale at the adjoining Taqueria Pacifica and bar.

-- There is WiFi so bring your connected device of choice.

I'm planning to try to drop by. See you there.
