    <title>Happy Hour and Startup Showcase</title>
    <link>http://HackerNewsDC.org//news/item/2011-02-18-Happy-Hour-And-Startup-Showcase.html</link>
    <description>&lt;p&gt;Mark your calendars for the next Hacker News DC event:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What: &lt;strong&gt;Happy Hour and Startup Showcase&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br&gt;
When: &lt;strong&gt;Wednesday, February 23rd - 6:00pm to 9:00pm-ish&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br&gt;
Where: &lt;strong&gt;Ragtime in Arlington&lt;/strong&gt; (near the Courthouse metro stop)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This will be another Happy Hour, but with the addition of something
shiny and new: We're going to pause conversation from 7:00 to 7:30 for
a startup &quot;showcase&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We'll hear from the following startups:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Three Rides&lt;/strong&gt; - Plan exciting motorcycle routes online (&lt;a href=&quot;http://threerides.com&quot;&gt;http://threerides.com&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Resume Everywhere&lt;/strong&gt; - Post and manager your resume across multiple job sites (&lt;a href=&quot;http://resumeeverywhere.com&quot;&gt;http://resumeeverywhere.com&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Atombox&lt;/strong&gt; - Store and manage your GTD lists (&lt;a href=&quot;http://atombox.net&quot;&gt;http://atombox.net&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stock Yoyo&lt;/strong&gt; - A free and enjoyable way to learn about investing. (&lt;a href=&quot;http://stockyoyo.com&quot;&gt;http://stockyoyo.com&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Citrrus&lt;/strong&gt; - Mobile technology company (&lt;a href=&quot;http://citrrus.com&quot;&gt;http://citrrus.com&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Huge thanks to SB Nation for sponsoring appetizers for the event.&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>We Have A Website!</title>
    <link>http://HackerNewsDC.org//news/item/2011-01-02-We-Have-A-Website.html</link>
    <description>&lt;p&gt;We now have a website for our group at
&lt;a href=&quot;http://HackerNewsDC.org&quot;&gt;HackerNewsDC.org&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This site is intended to augment--not replace--our Meetup page in a few ways:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://HackerNewsDC.org/&quot;&gt;front page&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href=&quot;http://HackerNewsDC.org/sponsors&quot;&gt;Sponsors&lt;/a&gt; page serve to recognize and thank our sponsors.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://HackerNewsDC.org/projects&quot;&gt;Projects&lt;/a&gt; page showcases startups and side projects by our members.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://HackerNewsDC.org/about&quot;&gt;About&lt;/a&gt; page provides background information and answers frequently asked questions about the group.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All other information, scheduling, discussions, etc., will continue to reside on the &lt;a href=&quot;http://meetup.com/JoinHNDC&quot;&gt;Meetup.com page&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;We Need Help&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Our logo is decidedly &quot;meh&quot;, and the website layout and graphics are uninspired. (I'm allowed to say that, 'cause I made them. I'm an Erlang hacker, not a designer.) The text likely has speling and grammatical error. And we need more pictures taken by somebody with a fancy-shmancy camera.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you'd like to help, email &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:rusty@hackernewsdc.org&quot;&gt;Rusty&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
