Brian Dorsey

Brian according to John: “Brian is an all around great guy who enjoys most things having to do with technology. He spends his working hours organizing a large media collection, and his free time rock climbing, bicycling, and otherwise tweaking with technology, usually involving python. We once shared a house together, and he tried to out-hermit me for most of a year. He’s also recently launched Noonhat, a random lunch acquaintance mediator, check it out at www.noonhat.com and enjoy lunch with someone new.”

Howdy. I’ve met a few of you at the SODO space. Who am I? I’m me. To the extent that’s defined by my interests, here are a few: Photography; software geekery in general, with Ruby with and without Rails in particular of late; miscellaneous art forms (letterpress, other print arts, glass blowing, etc); and being social. See y’all there!

Miles Van Pelt

A self proclaimed Thinker, Miles is one who loves exploring interesting problems. In particular, as Nelson has pointed out, “anything dealing with economics” gets him going, but there’s also physics, logic (both bivalant, and fuzzy), law, and really rules in general.

His other interests include, in no particular order, drawing, situated autonomous agents, painting, electronics, table top games, swimming, reading, programming, music (violin and trumpet), and food (both cooking and not).

Anders Conbere

I love programming, python, django, jabber, the web, and am in general easily distracted by bright shiney ideas of other people. Lately I’ve been caught up with the question of how best to distribute our social data on the net, how to start a company and make it work, how to fix financial data transfers on the web, how to bring people together physically via the web and more.

Derek Gaw

is.

Patrick Haller

An anti-commercial idealist and steampunk gentleman ( although that means I should occasionally dress like one ), I try to keep an open mind while trying to figure out how this world works, and then modeling it in an appropriate language (C, python, scheme, english, finance, etc.).

Geoff Froh

I’m an accidental technologist and non-profit careerist (see Densho). I’ve dabbled in government, academe and the occasional startup. I miss a lot of Saturday House because of this.

Dylan Rosario

Techie, inventor, and as many know me “SITH OVERLORD” who walks the dark side ;) Kidding, but I do really love the group, great place to geek out and discuss ideas, so Sat House is my kind of escape from the employees, family, and other things. I miss Sat House sometimes because I own a night club which i have to manage at night.

Fulvio Casali

Visited on 12-15-07 to talk about starting a Saturday House in Ballard.

Steven Bradford

First visit, 12-29-07, after reading the Seattle Times article. I brought the VR glasses paired with security cam for my out of body / Third person / VR device I’m assembling. I’m a video production instructor at Bates Technical College in Tacoma. But I live in South Seattle. I’ve been in film and video production since I went to film school at USC, mumblety mumble years ago. I’m not a programmer at all, but I’ve been using computers for a long time, and worked on some pioneering interactive video commerce systems back in the mid 80s.

I’ll definitely be making return visits. Next time I’ll work on fixing up my elderly web pages.

Distant Friends & Supporters

Perhaps it’s because they live several states (or even countries) away?

I'd Like To Attend

William Lai: By day I’m the founder of AllYourPals, a social gifting site in development. I also volunteer as project manager for Literacy Bridge, where we are building a $5 voice recorder/player for helping the one billion people around the world whose illiteracy prevents them from participating in the information revolution. I also guest star for the City of Bellevue as a Planning Commissioner where I practice and learn urban planning policy making. My personal blog is Ain't No Lai.

Gregory Heller: I’m a web strategist and Drupal architect/specialist. My company is CivicActions?, we change the world for the better. I’m also a tinkerer and crafter at heart. I like to build things, solve problems. Intensely interested in conservation technologies and strategies.

MattisManzel?:
Hihi, Lion is jones’ing for some “Hive mind” action! You bet! And I guess it’s not a shame to imagine a bit forwards …
I’m a wiki-fan born in ‘60 in Berlin. MattisManzel-wiki. Hi.
(section attend rather than far away as global real-time text work is possible. Simultaneous VoIP? even. Lion explains to you). Bon di to all!

David Cary Robots. And their machine vision. Visual Language. PCB layout engineer and firmware programmer by day, rogue WikiNode? builder by night. Dreams about high-availability wiki. Astonished at the bold heroic bravery of Sakura and the humble yet deep wisdom of Lion Kimbro. (Or was that the other way around?). A bit hesitant to start a blog or “join the Skype collective” or “join the Hive Mind”. website.

Steve Judkins
I’m looking forward to the time and space to have some great conversations and make new friends. I get excited whenever the conversation turns to user interfaces for cognitive maps, the future and social-semantic web, Internet freedom, complex adaptive systems, evolutionary processes, and how the brain works. By day, I’m the founder of MemeSpring working on a new way of searching and a social marketplace.

Neal Schindler
Neal is a writer and editor who loves movies and wants to get back into writing fiction. He’ll be doing just that in November – he’ll be a second-year participant in National Novel Writing Month, which requires the completion of a 50,000-word novel in just 30 days – and would love to have a good, social setting in which to work. He also wants to revive his blog and just generally focus on getting his life in better order.

Kendall Guillemette: web strategist, entrepreneur, developer. My company is called vigilanteweb. We run a couple of sites, and do consulting work. I am really interested in the state of the web right now. I think there are a lot of interesting things going on. Very interested in seeing and hearing what other people are up to in this space.

Chris Osburn has no idea what he wants to be when he “grows up”. Currently between gigs and happily collecting slide rules and calculators ([3]). Maybe I’ll host a hacking session on my own brain!

B. Sue Howard

Mel Chua is an OLPC hacker (and a hacker of other varieties and projects as well) who met Brian at PyCon?, and Lion via email/blog - will probably be dropping by during trip to Seattle on April 19.
