Cool tools and Above the Clouds

In usual last-minute fashion, I'd like to announce the occurrence of a July 7th Social Tech Brewing gathering. After a brief hiatus in June to enjoy the first appearance of summer, we're back and ready to resume pro-social activities of all sorts!

This month, as an Ode to the Interweb, the gathering will feature a distributed and spontaneous discussion of "cool tools" that deserve your attention - from free and open-source PBXs and voice-over-IP phones to Web services and Wacom tablets - you're sure to learn about at least one new thing (or site, or something!).

I've asked a few folks to kick off the evening with short (bring the gong) monologues about their favourite new-new thing. And, as usual, the floor will be open for you to share your favourites too.

THEN ... AT 7PM SHARP ... WE'LL HEAD DOWN THE STREET TO THE ABOVE THE CLOUDS LAUNCH PARTY (http://abovetheclouds.tv)

Above the Clouds is an innovative, e-mail delivered, alternative travel show that explores concepts of transcendence through a series of Canadian interactive shorts. The producer, Mark Greenspan, is a friend of Social Tech Brewing and has invited us out for the launch.

More details are available (and please RSVP) at Upcoming.org (http://upcoming.org/event/21867)

5:30 - 7PM
