GnomeDex 3.0
HackerStickers writes "The Fellowship of the Geeks - Aka Gnomedex 3.0 is the geeks conference of the year. This weekend-long geek-a-thon has had upwards and over 500 attendees all having the common love of technology. Des Moines, Iowa is where the Geeks will tromp July 25th & 26th both in business and pleasure. The lockergnome crew will be there and the list of speakers keeps growing with great topics by Jim Louderback, your very own slashdot man - Rob Malda, Tim O'Reilly, and not-so-decided topics by both MS and Google."
Yes, Des Moines. It's where lockergnome's boss is from. He used to make a big deal about it *not* being the middle of nowhere, but that was before he got the call for help job and said screw this I'm moving to California!
Mix the failings of Usenet with the shortcomings of the World Wide Web and the result is slashdot.
Go hawkeyes?
C'mon, Des Moines is a lot closer to Ames than it is to Iowa City. You meant, go Cyclones!
