Things I learned at the Nashville Geek Breakfast
Another fourth Thursday, another fun Nashville Geek Breakfast. Here are a few things I didn’t know before I darkened the door at Noshville this morning:
- Marcus owns what appeared to be a vintage “Yo! MTV Raps” T-shirt. (Wow.)
- Mitch is a new dad. (Congrats!)
- Jackson’s Statzen made TechCrunch’s top 150 out of 1,000 competing startups. (Nice work.)
- Chuck and I run in the same online circles, but not in the same direction, until now.
- Paul’s resume is better suited for a Twitter update than a resume, or so he claims.
- One way to make the trip from Alabama to Tennessee is via Arkansas, Ireland and Los Angeles. (Welcome, Ben.)
- BarCamp Nashville’s Web site is up and running. (Go register.)
Check out the photos from today’s breakfast. It was good to see everyone. See y’all next time.

Thanks Rob! It was great to meet everybody and be warmly welcomed into the geek fold.
As far as my route to Nashville goes, its really more convoluted than just going through LA. Last year I was in Belfast, Northern Ireland while my wife went to school and before that we both went to school in Arkansas (why?). So its strange to be back close to home!
Cheers

You’re welcome, Ben. That’s a circuitous route, to say the least, and well worth a post update. Glad you’re back in more familiar environs.
