			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright" title="event calendar" src="http://technicallyphilly.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/calendar.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="256" />Yeah, so last week was a little thin for Philly tech events. You were bored, confused, even lost without a daily dose of tech goings-on.</p>
<p>Think of it as a savings account for all the cool stuff going on this week. You didn&#8217;t want to go out in that rain, anyway.</p>
<p>On Monday, hit up <a href="http://www.phillyrb.org">Philly.rb</a>&#8216;s Pub Night and don&#8217;t even say you&#8217;re sorry that you once were down with Python. Can&#8217;t we all just get along? <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/21329">Central NJ Drupal</a> will host an info session Tuesday to help you get involved with the Project. We call it the Project with a capital P because damn if they ain&#8217;t been working hard. Maybe it&#8217;s time to throw in your two cents.</p>
<p>Wednesday, Mike Welsh of <a href="http://www.newgrounds.com">Newgrounds.com</a> and ActionScript coder for Xbox Live Arcade&#8217;s best-seller <a href="http://www.castlecrashers.com/">Castle Crashers</a> will lead <a href="http://www.pfpaug.org/core/">Philadelphia Flash Users Group</a>&#8216;s discussion on AS3 game development. We never understood why Super Mario went 3D anyway, and we think Mike would agree.</p>
<p>We hate when this happens: a dozen blocks West, <a href="http://phillystartupleaders.org/">Philly Startup Leaders</a> will host a second can&#8217;t-be-missed Wednesday night event. Neat Company co-founder Rafi Spero will give his &#8220;Unplugged&#8221; presentation on the blood, sweat, tears and scanners that went into the company&#8217;s successful receipt organization software.</p>
<p>Last but not least, <a href="http://phillychi.acm.org/">PhillyCHI</a> will host a happy hour to celebrate all things human-computer interaction. Why a happy hour? Because it&#8217;s 5 o&#8217;clock and someone&#8217;s got a bad UI somewhere, that&#8217;s why. More details on all of these events after the jump.</p>
<p><em>All events listed on the event calendar are free to attend. Be sure to check our <a href="../events">complete calendar</a> for more information, or follow us past the jump.</em><span id="more-3859"></span></p>

<p><strong>Wednesday, June 17th</strong>: Is new-fangled &#8220;three-dimensional&#8221; gaming just totally not your style? <strong>Philadelphia Flash Users Group</strong> will host a discussion on ActionScript3 Game Development.
