<em>Columbia City Theater<br />
4916 Rainier Ave. S (Columbia City)</em></p>
	<p>One of the best tech events of this past spring was hosted by Nathan Kaiser, CEO of <a href="http://www.npost.com">nPost.com</a>. Nathan has put together a follow-up event (more to come later this summer and fall), with a new batch of local startups that will be on hand to demo their products. The list includes <a href="http://catchthebest.com/">Catch the Best</a>, <a href="http://www.eyejot.com/">Eyejot</a>, <a href="http://www.timelope.com">Timelope</a>, <a href="http://www.homesavvi.com/">HomeSavvi</a> and <a href="http://www.homesavvi.com/">ClayValet</a>, plus one or two others. It looks like there&#8217;s still room on the registration page to sign up &#8211; the event is free, and if the last one was any indication, it should be a blast!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p><strong>Tuesday, August 21 @ 6:00 pm</strong><br />
<em> Raven&#8217;s Gallery Erotic<br />
406 Dexter Ave. N</em></p>
	<p>&#8220;Business Networking That Doesn&#8217;t Suck.&#8221;  That&#8217;s <a href="http://biznik.com/">Biznik&#8217;s</a> tagline, and I can vouch for it.  Having made a couple of brief attempts at being my own boss, I can only say that I wish Biznik had been around earlier.  But you, you lucky solopreneur&#8230; Biznik <em>is</em> here for you, and you should take advantage of that.  In fact, why not register tonight and head over to the <a href="http://biznik.com/events/2007/8/21/technology-happy-hour">Technology Happy Hour</a> at Raven&#8217;s Gallery Erotic?  (An unusual venue for a business networking event, perhaps, but there you go.)  The host, <a href="http://www.data-lodge.com/">Data Lodge&#8217;s William Fulton</a> says you don&#8217;t need to be interested in technology to attend, and in fact there&#8217;s already a diverse list of attendees filling up the RSVP list.  Funky, casual, low-pressure&#8230; what a great way to connect with potential business partners and clients.</p>

	<p><a href="http://www.refreshseattle.org/">Refresh Seattle</a> has been putting together some great events this summer for web developers and designers, and that trend continues for August. On Monday, <a href="http://www.bestkungfu.com/">Matt May </a>(developer and technologist for Adobe) will be presenting on Web Accessibilty. He&#8217;s actually breaking the hour down into three separate &#8220;mini talks&#8221;: 1) a brief overview of the subject, 2) the future of web accessiblity, and 3) accessibility hacks. After the event at the Ballard Library, everyone is heading over to The BalMar for drinks.

Josh Maher has announced the <a href="http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/239164/">next event</a>, which will be at the Adobe offices on Thursday, September 21st. It looks like they&#8217;re still fleshing out the details, but the topic of conversation will most likely be Flex. And of course lots of networking and meet-n-greet. There&#8217;s still about plenty of open slots, but that doesn&#8217;t mean you shouldn&#8217;t sign up fast!</p>
