GeekAustin tidbits: Cocoa, Refresh, Twestival, and the class is full

This Tuesday's RefreshAustin meeting features Jon Loyens on jQuery and Sara Summers on design process. This will be a good one. 7PM at Buffalo Billiards.

James Hillhouse just created a Cocoa Coders LinkedIn Group.

The GeekAustin MySQL Certification prep class is pretty much full.

GeekAustin Alumnus Michelle Greer will be hosting the Austin Twestival this Thursday at Ace's Lounge. Twestival benefits Charity:Water. Water is sort of like Bill Gibson's future. It's not so evenly distributed. We pee in it. Other people don't have any. You can buy tickets for Twestival here. And yes, I will be there.

I suspect that SXSW Interactive is going to be bigger than ever this year. Are there really 650+ speakers this year at SXSWi? You should start walking every day, so that you can get in shape.

Here's a question that folks have been asking me recently? "Is Austin a tech town?" If not, what are the tech towns? Other than..... "The Valley'.
