This morning I made my way to AlphaLab’s Open Coffee Club. It’s a chance to find out what the pittsburgh startup/tech/design scene looks like. I had a great time.

There were a couple people I’ve met before. I’ve seen Scott Connelly at technical conferences in the area. I’m pretty sure I served him coffee at the Pittsburgh Perl Workshop this year. I also met Joe Polk for the first time in person. We’ve been virtual friends for a while.

I also had a great conversation with a local designer, Cynthia Closkey. We have similar interests in expert systems, neural networks, technology assisted community, and related things. Although it’s clear she’s more experienced. I’ve only dabbled.

As for Open Coffee Club, I’m hooked. I also plan to attend DevHouse Pittsburgh from now on.
