Last’s night’s Boston WordPress Meetup was great, with a lot of people attending. Videos, slides and other notes will be available soon.

In other news, TEDxBoston is this Thursday. Stay tuned for a new Live Blogging system that I am currently putting in place.

Lunches are a la carte [Yes again] but will probably be sandwiches, soup, salad, etc. with some type of veggies and/or fruit!

Dinner: Monday-Friday (for the Mrs.): Roasted Garlic Onion Jam Pizza (I didn’t make this until Sunday night), Grilled veggie kabobs, Falafels; Monday-Friday (for me): on the road so I’m hoping something somewhat healthy (except for the pizza last night at WordPress)

As I stated earlier, I have been neglectful due to real work as well as organizing the Beginner’s track for WordCamp Boston.  Check out the new site and don’t forget to register before December 15th to get the reduced price.

Tonight, I’ll be attending MegaTweetup at Microsoft NERD in Cambridge.  This is a huge social media event that is bound to break records and should be an awesome time.  I won’t be live blogging but I hope to get some pics.  And all proceeds go to Dana Farber Cancer Institute so hurry up!

Finally, there is PAX East 2010.  As an avid gamer (PC), and an avid comic reader (Penny Arcade eXpo), I am really looking forward to this 3day event.  I’m hoping to get a media pass and live blog a lot of the sessions so stay tuned in March for this awesome 30,000 LAN (local area network) party (LAN parties are people who  network computers to play games).

I’ll be on vacation from December 18th to January 3rd so I will be working on updating the site and the look.  So stay tuned for the new TNMS!

We are advancing rather rapidly here at TNMS and will start Live Blogging events that we can attend. We will start with the first event which will be the WordPress Meetup at Microsoft New England Research and Development Center in Cambridge, MA on Monday July 27th. The next will be TEDxBoston on Tuesday July 28th. Each page will auto-refresh every 2 minutes so if you want to follow along on updates, you can! It will be like you are there… only not!

This page will not be posted on the bar, but there will be updates on what is “Live!”

We’ve been doing some upgrades. You can now use your FaceBook, or Twitter account to login and make comments or posts. You no longer need to register for an account… unless of course you don’t subscribe to either service.

You can also become a fan via Google Connect!

Hope you can take advantage of our new system and we are always here to answer your questions!

Over the past 2 weeks, we have added 2 additional writers to our wonderful team: Eric and Erwin (my brother). You can find out more about them in our “About Us” page… although Erwin hasn’t given me his yet… I’ll need to go home and beat him up!

In other TNMS news, the Forums hit a snag last night and we are working on a new formatting solution so please bear with us some more until we resolve this issue.

Thanks!
Kurt
