Luckily, the Internet is filled with people who think like me... Oh lord. http://www.divingtank.com/2008/06/13/niar-etalocohc/ I don't usually go out for social time on a Sunday night, but cmon, it's Internet week. Tonight's event is a Tumblr/Next New Network party down in that Tribeca-ish area that no one really lays claim to. Side note: when did everything below Houston become Chinatown? WTF. Tonight's even was fun. ... http://www.divingtank.com/2008/06/08/internet-week-2008-tumblr-party/ I try my hardest to avoid Times Square and that whole touristy rat run between the Port Authority and Bryant Park, but today we found ourselves at Dave & Busters on 42nd St. to meetup with the fellas from the Totally Rad Show. This event was low key, a nice subtle ... http://www.divingtank.com/2008/06/08/internet-week-2008-totally-rad-show-meetup/ Luckily, I didn't have to travel too far for tonight's festivities. After rugby, and appropriate showering, I walked over to Savalas on Bedford for an evening of cool beats in an air conditioned bar. Not a bad time, although the usual awkwardness of being the sober guy did eventually overtake ... http://www.divingtank.com/2008/06/07/internet-week-2008-rocketboom-party/ It's already becoming a tradition: Wiimbledone is the annual tournament, held at Barcade in Williamsburg, where competitors go head-to-head in Nintendo Wii tennis.

And in the tradition of all things Williamsburg, competitors are encouraged to get really into things. ... http://www.divingtank.com/2008/06/07/internet-week-2008-wiimbledon/ Out and about once again for Internet Week, this time to the an expo/networking event for Mashable in the Theatre District. Much of the same old crew but also a viable chance to meet some new folks. Wine and cheers were in full effect, and it overall it was a ... http://www.divingtank.com/2008/06/06/internet-week-2008-mashable-expo/ Whoa, I wasn't expecting this! Kevin and Alex and the rest of the Revision3 crew came to town for the first annual Internet Week, and decided the time was right for New York's first ever live taping of Diggnation. We packed into Studio B, right here in Williamsburg. The line ... http://www.divingtank.com/2008/06/04/internet-week-2008-live-diggnation/ The second part of the day was distinctively less violent than the rugby, but in much that same way, it was an alumni day. Meeting up with Jason, unplannedly, we watch the current troupe of dancers move upon the stage for a night. Afterwards, we poked around and took a few ... http://www.divingtank.com/2008/05/31/drexel-dance-ensemble-show-spring-2008/ I'm not one for traditions for traditions sake, but I do enjoy the annual ritual that is the rugby alumni match. This year, we had the honour of doubling up with the girls team for a double-header of old-on-young rugby madness. It's true, we may have lost a step over the ... http://www.divingtank.com/2008/05/31/rugby-alumni-day-2008/ Out to the Hearland Brewery with Jessica, Laura, and Alicia. Spending too much money.
