I remember attending my first LAN Party back in the mid-90s - a small group of us; maybe 8 to 10 people at a friend's house. We played Quake 2 for about 10 hours... It wasn't so much the game-time that got us together - but it was the food, the friendships and the competition that pumped us up!
Laptops are helping more people do more of what they love in more places around the world.
That’s what we learned while collecting stories and footage from the UC Berkeley campus, Malaysia and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. We mixed those stories with data collected by Intel computer performance engineers.

The Traveling Geeks have hit their stride in the UK, where they’ve been meeting with movers and shakers turning to technology innovation as a way for improving start up businesses, education and government agencies.
On Monday, they met with my colleagues Perveen Akhtar and Tristan Wilkinson, Intel’s Public Sector director working to help the UK government leap ahead with its plans to bring better broadband to residents across the country. Here Tristan talks with Intel Insider and Traveling Geek JD Lasica.
The idea of a bucket list was unknown to me before the 2007 film with Jack Nicholson & Morgan Freeman in which a list is created of things they'd like to do before they 'kick the bucket'. That idea now seems to be everywhere. Even Kathy Griffin was talking about it in one of her most recent episodes of "My Life on the D List" when Kathy encourages her mother to create a list. Intel is doing something very similar with Mighty Girl blogger Maggie Mason in which we will sponsor several of her 100 Mighty Life List items over the summer. Maggie's list was originally developed about a year ago. At some point, someone at Intel was made aware of this fun list and wanted to get involved (Intel is a Sponsor of Tomorrow you know). Maggie accepted and the kickoff happened late last week with Maggie crossing off 'Redesign Mighty Girl'. She's also successfully taken and captured video of her debut in tap dancing!
From now through September, Maggie will cross off at least eight more items. What those eight items will be is a mystery so I'd encourage you to check in often on her progress. I will say that you'll likely be surprised at what she's doing. I'll do my best to get photos and videos and post them here too.
What is at the top of your bucket list? I need to think about mine a little more... perhaps a trip to the Greek Isles?
Sure it’s nice and sunny these days in the San Francisco Bay Area, but almost everyone I know has been bitten by the travel bug.
If the UK is one place you’re thinking about, then check out the Traveling Geeks, as dozen bloggers meet technology innovators, startup companies, educators and online networking enthusiasts from London and Cambridge to share best practices for online communication.
The Geeks are in the UK from July 5-11, and Intel is co-sponsoring the trip as an extension of the Intel Insiders program.
$80,000 in prizes are up for grabs.
When gamers get together - great things happen! I’m going to give this site a shot and try my best to frag some of the finest in gaming… that’s right, I’m going to be online - hoping to get some frags!!! Destructoid has brought back Friday Night Fights!
The games are ON, and the competition starts Friday July 3rd (here in the US) I’ve never tried Quake Live - so this should be fun!
Although, I’m not doing very well on the “Cosmic Cannon” game… (no laughs please!)
You can find more data on Friday Night Fights using Twitter #fnf hash tags, or even add @Dtoid into your favorite Twitter apps… plus you can add @Toadster too if you want (I’m pretty chatty lately about technology!)
In the words of Duke Nukem… COME GET SOME!
