[Chicago] greetings from PDX, snapshots into our coding culture

Greetings Chipy, lurker here.  I jump in on rare occasions.

Last night we had a Tech Crawl and I'm wondering if Chicago has anything
similar, might be impractical:

(ya'll have a *much* bigger CBD)

Also of possible interest, these write-ups on Raspberry Pi presentations:

mascot)

(Portland has an interesting code school scene, I've been helping organize
the Flying Circus on Mondays @ <guild />).

My hope here in Oregon is to help rescue more high school math students
from the thraldom of TI-only and arm them with ARM chips and such.  I call
it Operation #CodeCastle on Twitter (@4DsolutionsPDX)

Learning math after algebra could be a lot less dreary with better toyz.
