Glad that you learned how to drive, spinning donuts in an icy Kroger parking lot? Yes, fellow ex-Chicagoans, we DO understand! So if you were born in Chicago, grew up there, went to school there, lived there for a little while, …

Perhaps you have seen me on MTV or heard my number 1 blog talk radio show, join us for some fun and a magical time. Walks With Thunder teaches many classes throughout the West Coast. "My beginner's classes help many take control of the "gifts" we possess, opening the suppressed power of our lives that sets some apart from the norm. When you take control of your own hidden powers, you don't have to be victims any longer." Walks With Thunder lives his life according to what he teaches. He is …

Hello and Welcome! Lets get together in homes and community spaces to get work done while getting to know one another.

You should join this group if you think a home is more than just a house that is ready for a Martha Stewart photo shoot. You should join this group if you want to work toward creating a world …

I realize that I need a meeting management application which doubles as a content management system. Meetup has a lot of great features, but I want to position a book-style table of contents in the top left corner of each webpage - where it remains visible at all times.

America is in Trouble. Rising National Debt, low Educational performance, crumbling Infrastructure, lack of political will and direction. Is America now in a long term decline? If so, what can be done to 'fix America'?  I look around and there are not many SERIOUS discussions on what Underlying forces are driving the Issues we face as a Nation. This group will be the polar opposite of Glen Beck style crazy. The nation faces real issues and needs real solutions. Not more smoke and mirrors for …

If you're a rails dev, you already know, there aren't a whole lot of resources out there for us, not like there are for php, that's for sure. I thought it would be helpful for all of us railers to interact, learn, share, network, and hang out. As far as I know, our RoR group is the biggest and one of the most active in Seattle. We have laid back hang-out style meetups weekly, and every 4-6 weeks or so we try to hold an educational/networking meetup where we can all get together, network, and lea …
