Technology Bytes is a weekly call-in radio show at KPFT every Wednesday evening (available via podcast in case you forget), and they typically hold a monthly Geek Gathering at hangouts around town here there is feasting, fun, and WiFi merriment.
They used to regularly hang out at Kaveh Kanes for Geek Gatherings, but Kaven Kanes is no more. So for May, they have selected Tropioca as the site of the Geek Gathering:
This Friday August 4th is the monthly Technology Bytes Geek Gathering. We'll be at Tropioca @ 2808 Milam, just South of Downtown. Tropioca specializes in bubble tea, coffee and smoothies. They also serve up desserts and free WiFi. For those not in the know, a Geek Gathering is exactly what is sounds like. The geeks from this show as well as a bunch of our listeners all descend upon a single location and geek out over gadgets, technology and the latest geek humor.
If you have not experienced in person the greatness of the throbbing vein in "Fighting" Jay Lee's forehead as he repeats the mantra of "Spyware!" you have not yet lived. You want to live, don't you?
I myself will not be there, so that's added incentive to attend. I will be busy feasting on bread, garlic, brie, and the inevitable stench that follows (ie. The Astros playing the Mets.)
And if the Houston Metrobloggers don't appreciate my two or three posts a month to their site because it doesn't meet some kind of imaginary quota, they can kiss my hairy ass.
What do I get out of it? Maybe ten, fifteen hits back to my site a month. And I'm not about to game or abuse that posting right to drive traffic towards myself for no reason.
Besides, every little bit helps, right? It's two or three posts towards some goal that they will never reach because they always get beaten by Portland or Los Angeles. Get over it, folks.
I'll probably post about Blue Man Group coming to Toyota Center at some point over there. And, of course, The Cats Meow at MFAH.
Or not.

Was someone over there complaining about your output?
I would think they would appreciate the participation from one of Houston's best-known bloggers.
