Last night we held the August 2006 incarnation of the Geek Dinner at Los Hermanos in Lindon, Utah; right back where we started in November of last year.  After enjoying our meals we lent an ear to Senatorial candidate Pete Ashdown.  Some of you may not know of Pete directly, but you've probably heard of the company he started years ago called XMission (especially if you're from Utah and haven't lived in a cave for too long).

I encourage you to find out more about Pete's stances on issues as he presented them, they make a lot of sense - especially when it comes to technology.  Pete has the unique position of understanding technology and the internet (unlike Ted Stevens misunderstanding of the 'Inter-Tube') and a great desire to serve the interests of Americans.  We could definitely use (a lot) more people in the Senate et al that understand technology.

Anyway, hope to see more at the next Geek Dinner.  I'll announce it here when we figure out what's happening next.
