Livestream some 60s music and entertainment. Music can always add a fun touch to any decade-themed event! How about creating a virtual auction event themed around a type of collectible, like sports memorabilia or music memorabilia? Having the appropriate decoration, online branding, music, and food will be enough.

The only time I shut down this laptop is when I’m taking it somewhere, which is relatively rarely. I’m relatively happy, and, surprisingly enough, I don’t miss using the mac everyday. Here are the good things: Even macs get weird sometimes, especially if they’ve been on for a long time. I love apt-get/aptitude.

I'd pictured it as a room with a bunch of developers at tables, laptops open, showing off the ways they'd managed to build useful tools using the Facebook Platform or API. Last week I attended the Facebook Developers Garage in DC. Instead, it was largely a presentation by folks from the Facebook Platform team - Ami Vora and Ezra Callahan.

At some point, when I’ve saved up enough pennies, I’m going to buy a Mac laptop again. I think it can also work for the folks who perhaps use laptops as their primary machines, and don’t do anything except email and web. And, guess what? I’m giving up. And, of course, always, for developers.

I set up both on my laptop, and tried out some really simple app development. Symfony November 6, 2008 In my new explorations of PHP web application development, it seemed a good idea to get a look at both CakePHP and Symfony.
