Seattle Tech Startups

Right about now is when I realize how great it is to live in Seattle (where it's 50°F) compared to living in Chicago (where it currently feels like -25°F). Another reason I love living in Seattle is the community built around technology and startups.

I want to pimp the guys at Seattle Tech Startups. Over the last few months, I've been able to meet and hang out with a couple times. Unfortunately, I don't get to hang out with them enough. Oh, and it's all free.

STS is a group of people who are working on great startups in the Seattle area. Each month there's a meeting where typically someone presents on an interesting topic and afterwards everyone discusses and then heads to a bar. I encourage all Seattle techies to check it out.

STS was started by Chuck Groom and Gaurav Oberoi, the founders of BillMonk, which if you didn't hear, was just bought by Obopay. Congrats, guys!

UPDATE (10:12AM): I should also note the mailing list is full of gems, so sign up!
