Beaujolais Nouveau - Recipe for Connections
Last night I went to my boss’s party titled “Beaujolais Nouveau.” Apparently this is in reference to some French wine, but I’m not a wine drinker and thus I had none and was not interested in it. Overall an interesting night, lots of professors, business people and tech enthusiasts. My boss’s wife is “big on the tech scene” or at least was before taking her current job.
The main highlight of the night was actually meeting Alex de Carvahlo, organizer of BarCamp Miami and RefreshMiami. I’ve been hunting for some tech groups to get involved in in South Florida but it seems its only a budding area. Despite that I’ve now got something else to get involved in outside of IEEE and ACM. I also met a guy by the name of Nathaniel, though his last name escapes me. Nathaniel organizes NextMiami which is another tech enthusiast & venture capital group. These should both be good contacts for the future.
Any one that even gives this blog a passing glance a developer in South Florida that knows of other interest groups?
