We've just settled into the new Simple Energy Headquarters! To mark the occasion, we are inviting our Boulder community to come join us for a beer, some ping pong, and a quick product demo.

Rather than bashing rival technologies, come learn and participate in the Tech Throwdown panel discussion. We're going to bring in some of the area's brightest technology talent to present Ruby on Rails vs the .NET MVC Framework. Each presenter will have 30 minutes to cover their topic, followed by a panel discussion with audience...

Back to Wednesday night, back to Denver!
The agenda should firm up as we get closer to the date, but here's the gist:

Steve Love will give an overview of some obvious and not-so-obvious ways to speed up your JavaScipt. Afterward, we'll pair up and have a friendly challenge to see who can best optimize a sample JavaScript file.

As Boulder Startup Week draws to a close, join the crew for a last hurrah at Napkin Labs. Drinks, dares and a ping pong tournament await you. (Yes, there will be a few more events tomorrow.)

Meet the team, see what we're up to and enjoy breath-taking mountain views from our office at 16th & Pearl. (1601 Pearl Street. Suite 200 - Enter by Foolish Craig's)

The kickoff party for Boulder...

Rails, being a volunteer effort, needs help to bring the next version of Rails to release. With the help of some Rails Core team members, we're going to see what we can do to move Rails towards the next successful beta, encourage more people to get involved with the Rails source, and have some fun.

We'll begin by getting everybody's...
