I just remember Superman - "Clark" Kent. I don’t understand why people have difficulty remembering your name – it’s quite simply, really. I just remember Superman – “Clark” Kent.

I feel bad for taking so much credit for all of your awesome work j/k I still find it odd that people would really think I was you in the first place. You do awesome stuff and I am still a follower and a big believer. Looking forward to your work at Telerik. Next time we cross paths, I am taking you up on that beer. Please don’t be sorry.

Yes I agree. I hear a lot from people about not being able to do something in fear of what their company might think. For me that is a cheap excuse. There is so much out there to go do, why not get involved. Getting involved in the larger community is easy. You just have to commit the time to doing something in it. Thanks Chuck. Yes I agree.

It's sad to see that your cohort in crime is moving on, but at the same time, it's good to see that he's making a move for the better for himself.

I have a couple Miller's that I blow holes through metal all the time. 68' SS and 70' Camaro's. 70 has been a 12 year restore job. But one day... I am seeing people start to explore node and ask a lot of good questions as to where it fits. It's not "the answer" cause nothing is that, but it's an answer to a number of things. The people I have seen have turned to it looking as if it was some kind of scale holy grail, which usually means they have other deeper problems. But the async nature node forces you down a different path from the start. At #NodeSummit we say a ton of great startups using node as part of their backend. It was pretty neat to see what they all did. Cool Stuff. You can see some of them here: http://angel.co/nodejam Personally I think it's cool. I'm excited and continue to invest my time learning about it. Now you’re speaking my language.

That density does play a big factor. There is just great pockets of people all over the place and connecting them better such that we could raise the "relative "density would be nice. User groups, conferences are all great ways but it never feels like it's enough. Meeting once a month is great but density with frequency is also important. Since GeekBook.com is parked, maybe one day I will have a more original idea to better way connect people such that we could all raise the local density and frequency. node.pdx looks great, just 2k miles away from me. I'm putting together a conference http://thatConference.com and would sure love to get some node folks involved. Thanks for reaching out. Very true and great point.

You see them around, you chat with them, you go to user groups with them, you invent the technology. There just isn't enough density in other places to really make this happen. In summary, AWESOME blog entry. Glad you had a rocking time! There will be another Node Summit and other Node Events (there is even one in a week that will have as many people and maybe more than Node Summit in Portland Oregon http://nodepdx.github.com). Not that I'm in charge of Node Summit myself, but I've heard through reliable sources there will indeed be a Part II. :) You mentioned that people think/feel tech only happens in “The Valley”, partly that’s because there (and also in the north west in general) you can surround yourself with true bad asses like Ryan Dhal, Scott Guthrie, Jason Hoffman, and many others.
