I went to my first meet up earlier this evening – Geek Girl’s Tech Talk.  They basically had a panel of women who worked within the tech industry in startups.  It was pretty interesting being able to listen to the experiences of these people.  It was also cool to meet other women in the industry.  Although, I felt a little odd since nearly everyone I met was an entrepreneur and were CEO’s or something flashy with their own company.  I also need to get some of my own business cards so I stop handing out my company affiliated cards.  It’s cool to talk to people and hear about what they do and their businesses.  Although, networking really sucks the life out of me.  I find these scenarios to be difficult to handle and somewhat uncomfortable.  I’m not that social.  A few times I found myself standing by myself – gah, that’s lame.  But anyway, networking is so important and I can totally see the value in it.  It’s pretty huge.  I was able to provide some of my insight and expertise (if you will) to this one lady who just started her business in November.  I liked hearing things about the tech industry and networking is pretty important so I think I might have to attend these things more often.

Things I need to do:

• Get personalized business cards
• Fix my website
• Be more social
