Technically Philly is a news site covering technology, startups and venture capital in Philadelphia.
We’re torn, Philadelphia.
On one hand, we dread Labor Day as we are enjoying this summer way too much to see it end. On the other, the unofficial start of Fall usually means more events and this post becomes much easier to write.
This week is all meetups so take this week easy guys, you’re gonna need it come October. After the jump, Mac users don’t leave their home, Hive opens up and Linux users gather.
If you like white space this is the week for you.
Not only are two of our highlighted events design-related, but our barren calendar features plenty of white pixels. As we near the end of Summer 2010, it looks like the event planning world is taking a break before we’re in Fall.
However, just because our calendar is bare, it doesn’t mean there aren’t quality events to attend. On Tuesday attend the first ever Force.com meetup in the city. Or, if your more of a front end person, read books with the UX book club instead and then swing on by the graphic designers meetup.
With 15 events on Wednesday and Thursday alone, this week’s events calendar is likely too full for even the most ravenous tech junkie.
If you want to save a little time for other things (you know, like sleep), you may want to pick and choose this week. To help you out, we’ve chosen three events you won’t want to miss.
We’ve built up your anticipation, and DreamIt Ventures Demo Day is finally here. Check it out on Wednesday, along with the first-ever Philly WordPress Meetup. Then join Philly Startup Leaders on Thursday for their first annual TECH Cocktail Philadelphia.
If you can manage to pry yourself away from the gut-wrenching saga that is the 2010 Phillies, this is a great week to be out and about in the tech scene.
This week stretch your creative muscles at the Guitar Effects Study Group on Monday, learn to “connect the dots” with social media at Philly Net Tuesday and chat about venture capital at the Philadelphia Union game on Thursday (a little break from baseball may be good for your sanity, anyway).

Before you begin contemplating popping the cap off of a fire hydrant, consider this week’s tech events calendar. This week is packed with events you won’t want to miss. Although we can’t promise anything, there will likely be free air conditioning, too.
This week get the low-down on what’s hot and new in Mac on Tuesday, check up on the folks at Hive76 on Wednesday and join Technically Philly at the Supernova Forum 2010 on Thursday and Friday.
Update: PSL Happy Hour has been moved to a later date as the PSL BBQ.
If you haven’t joined in the mad dash to the Jersey Shore, don’t fret. We have a packed calendar of technology events that are just as good as some funnel cake. Okay, maybe not funnel cake. But definitely better than salt water taffy.
Our events are stacked early this week, dear reader. On Monday see what the kids at Indy Hall are up to at their third ever town meeting. The next day mingle with the smartest entrepreneurial minds the region has to offer at the Philly Startup Leaders happy hour. Then, enjoy a proper breakfast on Monday as you talk about helping the world through business.
It’s cool people. Don’t fret. We’re bringing the Flyers back home for the next one. Chill, dog.
And hell if it isn’t a good time to be in town. Philly Beer week is already raging (if the PBC truck at Liberty Lands park on Saturday was any indication), and there’s some great technology events around town, too. Grab a beer. Head on over to one of the community happenings. And do a night cap from your favorite local brewery.
This week, Twitter’s in town, there’s fun to be had at Agile Philly’s hack night and there’s an evening dedicated to process improvement. We’d make fun of that, but geez, we love productivity as much as the next guy.

For those of you that follow along with our events highlights, you know we like to pick the top three goings-on to share.
But this week, there’s so many great, free technology happenings that we can’t pick just three. Wednesday alone has—count ‘em—seven events that all seem promising. That’s half of the 15 organized events this week. On a single day. Better take off Thursday while you can and see our breakdown after the jump.
Thursday, Verizon Wireless hosts a free, all-day wireless industry conference that looks put together. Sunday, we at Technically Philly will be in Cherry Hill to talk tech. Come on out if you’d like to heckle us, represent Philly’s vibrant tech community or talk shop with us after the event. And now, for the marathon…
All events listed on the event calendar are free to attend. Be sure to check our complete calendar for more.

Update: Edited Hive76 event.
I hope you left next weekend open, Philadelphia, because our event calendar should give you plenty to do this Saturday.
First, you can head to the hometown of our very Brian James Kirk for BarCamp Harrisburg 2. It’s Technically not Philadelphia, but the attendee list tell us that several people are making the trip.
Though if you don’t feel like spending a lot of time on the turnpike, stay local and help Hive76 make a video game in three hours. But if your weekend is already stacked, head to Center City to discuss the city’s burgeoning social entrepreneurship community.
Hey, at least it ain’t snowin’.
If you can stand to brave the rainy and cloudy weather this week, head out to some of Philadelphia’s technology events.
This week, Next Fab Studio will let passersby through its doors for an open house and lecture from University of Pennsylvania professor Peter Bressler. After UX Book Club on Wednesday night, network with PhillyCHI at its free happy hour in Old City. Finally, join Philly Startup Leaders for its second Cigars & Startups event. It’s way gangster.
