@rentzsch: yup, I'm sold. Awesome tech+community.
I attended C4[2] back in 2008 where the crew from 280 North gave a presentation on the Cappuccino web framework. I have mixed feelings about Cappuccino, the technology itself seems amazing but it's a big leap from "normal" users web app experience. I plan to spend a weekend with it and try it out for myself.
Getting noticed may be the first step. Even if the road is long, you need to make the first step.

Clint : Really? So playing D&D is geeky and not nerdy?
Blake : yeah, nerdy is smart and technical
Blake : geeky is socially awkward and obsessive about the aforementioned geeky things
