The week of 25-29 January 2010 is going to be absolutely awesome in Cambridge. There are three great events that you need to attend.
Of these, it’s most important that you come to the Cambridge Tech Meetup. We’ll be kicking the year off with a bang and six “wicked awesome” technology demos, from people/companies [...]

A lot of people have been talking about and playing with location-based applications these days. I wanted to put my two cents into the debate, specifically on Flook, Gowalla, and Foursquare.
Flook
Flook is the least-known of these three apps, but potentially the most interesting. Users take photos (which are automatically geo-tagged) and then add [...]

Note 1 – A VERY local Failblog
If you haven’t ever heard of Failblog, it’s simply hilarious. Every day there are a ton of photos and videos that can only be described as “FAIL.”

(With apologies to [...]

But we need demos!
Requirements include:

Technology-based product
Connection to Cambridge; ideally founded or located in Cambridge

I, like many geeks, love the Ycombinator programme. It was really the first of its kind, and was started by Paul Graham and his friends in 2005.
About YCombinator (YC)
What is it? A three-month long programme to help start startups. Founders (you) get ~$15-20k in “seed” cash so they can live without any [...]
