Anita Rowland passed away last week, on December 10th. I never personally met Anita, but if you had any awareness of the Seattle blogging scene, you knew who she was. She has an enormous local presence, organizing the Seattle Blogger Meetup (one of the first in the country), as well as local Sci-Fi conventions like Potlatch. This week’s meetup will be held at it’s usual time and place, though folks will be gathering to remember Anita and plan the next steps for the group. You can read tributes by some of the people who knew and loved her over at her husband’s (Jack William Bell) blog.

Saturday House is hard to describe in a single sentence. It’s based loosely on the concepts behind the Sudbury Schools, but in an adult setting. People come together for a whole Saturday every week, working on projects together or by themselves, having conversations, or just working. Saturday House is not a geek event, per se, though it was founded by geeks, and get rather geek-centric (lots of laptops, Python, board games, etc). The group has been gathering in some form for almost 6 months now, rotating among people’s homes (including my own). But now they’ve found a quasi-permanent space down in SoDo, and are thinking about using it to explore some concepts around co-working. Come down, poke around, check it out. Or sign up on the mailing list to learn more.
