5 local techies showed off their "work that wasn't for work" last night at SiteCrafting. I felt like it was a good round-up of interesting projects–from Twitter apps to algorithms used for mapping DNA to URL shorteners, there was a lot of everything.

Represented were several SiteCrafting people–SiteCrafting was also a wonderful host for the event!–plus a couple from Topia, the two most recognizable tech companies in Tacoma at this point. Also some entrepreneurs, techies and communications folks from some big employers in town, and even someone from Tacoma Economic Development who dropped by to see what kinds of things people were up to.

I didn't present–my side project idea is still just a draft business plan and not much more–but it was inspirational to see what was going on in Tacoma. For a couple of the presentations I caught only about half the acronyms used, but still–pretty cool.

Thanks to the presenters and glad to see so many people attend!

Next tech event: South Sound Technology Conference on November 20. Hope you can make it!
