Ice Fest and Free MLK Day | 2017 North Coast Harbor Ice Fest and free Martin Luther King, Jr., Day at Science Center and Rock Hall. Not only did we appreciate the fun day, but we also want to thank North Coast Harbor for choosing our photos as winners in their 2017 Social Media Photo Contest. 

Hidden Figures | The Cleveland Public Library & NASA Glenn Hidden Figures event was an illuminating discussion. It was interesting to hear personal stories about the contributions of women of color working at NASA.

#NewYearsEve & #NewYearsDay #Thanks! | It was a good year for us. We have many people to thank for all the activities and events that we attended in 2016. This blog post includes our year-end thank-yous. We have created this blog post to remind us of the fun we had this year, and to show our appreciation.

TechPint Winter 2016 | As my way of thanking the TechPint organizers for their great event at the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland -- I really had a great time connecting with many people there -- I have created this blog post, which captures resources from the evening. 

Annual Holiday CircleFest 2016 | We had 360 Degrees of Holiday Fun at University Circle's 23rd Annual Holiday CircleFest, and wanted to share our photos of the day to thank all the sponsoring organizations. One of the great things about the day is the people who work at the sponsoring organizations.

@Flashstarts Demo Day 2016 - #FSDDay | I was very impressed with the Flashstarts 2016 Accelerator Class. At the Flashstarts Demo Day, the startup founders made their presentations. I also truly enjoyed meeting other new people and reconnecting to the people I knew who attended this event at The City Club.

PechaKucha Talk by Stuart O. Smith, Jr. | Although Julie and I have written blog posts about PechaKucha Night Cleveland, I had never done a PechaKucha talk myself. I was extremely honored to be invited to speak at a special, first-time-ever PechaKucha Night Cleveland Past Presenters Happy Hour!

Cleveland Holidazzle & Winterfest 2016 | We want to thank PlayhouseSquare Cleveland Play House for Holidazzle, and Downtown Cleveland Alliance, Cleveland Public Library, and Cleveland Public Square for Cleveland Winterfest 2016. We also appreciate the Cleveland Foundation's support of these institutions.

Creative Fusion Spectacular | When I heard that The Cleveland Foundation had arranged with Ohio City Incorporated to have their Creative Fusion Spectacular, I knew I wanted to attend to take a special tour of the finished neighborhood murals.

Akron Mini Maker Faire 2016 | The Akron Mini Maker Faire is a very impressive Maker event, and I always enjoy it. The library reported that more than 1,600 people attended!

Goodbye, WebSigCleveland.org! | Web Development SIG: So long, and thanks for all the free web development training! Today, November 19, 2016, the third Saturday of this month, seems like an appropriate day to formally announce that I will not be running WebSIGCleveland.org any longer.

For Freedoms: MOCA Cleveland Town Hall Discussion | MOCA provided a video of the full Town Hall, so I decided to gather it and other information, and create a blog post. A lot of good discussion occurred at this event, which I think is worth sharing with others.
