Geeks Who Give is an organized event of Philadelphia’s tech and creative scenes to give back to needy charities and the communities around us. The first event was held at the National Mechanics bar and restaurant in Old City, Philadelphia PA. Many many boxes and bags of non-perishable food items were collected for Philabundance.

Get in touch with both Geeks Who Give (on Twitter) and National Mechanics (on Twitter) for up to date event information, the next Tweetup and a good time (tee-hee).

A “Tweetup” is a community event, organized on the social status updating service, Twitter.

Fall Colors In Wissahickon Valley Park

Yesterday, Sunday Nov 09, I went walking through Wissahickon Valley Park in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia PA with a friend. The fall colors were vibrant and beautiful although the sky was somewhat cloudy.

This scene (I’ve captured it the past few years) always reminds me of a water color painting.
