Lunch 2.0 @ Google Chicago

Hats off to Google Chicago for hosting today’s Lunch 2.0.

Having no idea what to expect (except, um, food), I had to check it out.

Free lunch and “no time-share pitch to sit through!”

I learned (among other things) that Google has a decent-sized presence in Chicago, a lot of it engineering. If I understand it correctly, Google’s summer of code comes out of Chicago. (I also took away a nice Google lunch cooler. Thanks!)

It’s always nice rubbing shoulders with the tech community, too: learning what’s going on, talking shop. (I’m guessing 100 people were there.)
