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.
We’re almost though August, Philadelphia, so be sure to get in those last minute runs to the shore. Just save your trips for Tuesday or Thursday as those are the lone empty days on our events calendar.
This week is full of bar room meetups as both the Build Guild and Philly.rb plan on chatting over brews. Though If you’d like to stretch a bit, head on over to University City to watch a documentary about the women involved in the ENIAC, the world’s first computer developed at Penn.
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).

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.
Philadelphia in the spring time: the sun, the birds OHMYGOD ITS A FLASH MOB.
Social media has been getting a bad rap lately thanks to Twitter-organized mobs, but that shouldn’t stop you from attending our social media-heavy event schedule this week.
First, learn about the intricacy of social media law, then take advantage of our wonderful weather of late by searching around Old City for charity. Lastly, spend an easy Sunday morning learning how to install Linux.
Below, Gabe Weinberg talks with Jimmy Wales, comic book classes and more.
