It’s the last one.
The last movie from the last book.
The books-on-CD have been made. The author has moved on. It’s our last chance to celebrate this tremendous imaginary world that so many of us love.
Santa Cruz was out in full force. The line in front of the Cinema 9 started on Tuesday for a midnight Thursday show. Photos, starting from the back of the line at about 4 pm.
We know email is an important part of your day and how frustrating it can be when it’s unavailable.
If you’ve been affected by Cruzio’s email outages this week, our apologies. To bring our email back online as quickly as possible—and avoid any further outages—we’ve moved our email over to a different server. This will allow folks to send and receive email normally. Any saved emails will temporarily be unavailable, but should be accessible on Friday, 7/15.
We apologize for the unexpected disruption and expect this fix to resolve the issue.
If you want up-to-the-minute updates, you can: follow @cruzio_support on Twitter, subscribe to our RSS feed, or check out our Network Status page.
Cruzioworks hosted a New Tech Meetup session, attended by many of Santa Cruz’s geekiest citizens.

If you haven’t already, join at their website — it’s easy and free of charge.
The speakers:
Shane Pearlman and Hilary Bryant presented their group, the Santa Cruz City Technical Task Force. This committee consists of local technologists from a variety of backgrounds who volunteered to help the City find ways to streamline policies and procedures.

People we saw at the Techraising.
Everyone was pretty energized, even after a couple of late nights. I’m not good with names so I won’t even try to attribute all the photos… just the first few.
First up are the awesome organizers. (Lots more info about the techraising on TechRaising.com ).
Margaret Rosas, Andrew Mueller and Matthew Swinnerton are the forces behind the Techraising on May 20-22. We were lucky to have it at Cruzioworks, it was a blast.
It started with a line of people waiting to pitch their startup ideas.About 30 people had about 35 ideas (some got so enthusiastic they pitched more than one).
The ideas ranged from a new type of shell for pickup trucks to a video game that lets you create a wall from something you photograph — then shoot the wall to bits. (“Very satisfying” commented the presenter).
