Meetup Group Description Updated on 7/26/11.

App Day events are just like hackathons except we aim to launch products at end of day. While hackathons are product oriented, I like to think App Day is people/team oriented. My goal as the organizer of App Day is to build powerful product teams so to improve my own skills as a developer. But the only way to achieve that is to surround myself with talented, committed individuals who would make it their goal to build me up and make me better as I do the same for them. We Must lift each other up …

You thought I was going to say "Because the bible says so"... NOPE!!! What is science? Good science includes evidence that is testable, demonstrable, observable, measurable, repeatable, etc. So why do we insist on holding onto hypothesis like evolution when all we ever observe or demonstrate prove evolution is impossible. You won't find anybody saying "because the bible says so" in this discussion unless it comes from an evolutionist! lol No, here Young Earth Creationists pose hard facts already …

Are you having a difficult time losing weight or keeping it off once you've lost it? Research shows that a support system increases the effectiveness of any weight loss plan.

There is no denying that we are all different. We ALL want to find the right companion to spend our lives with but we all have a different idea of who that companion would be.

And, what if that special person is also looking for the right person to bring happiness into their life and they are not willing to put geographical limits to such an important search? My reason for my f …

But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man - for precisely the same reasons." This group might be for folks who are mad enough to believe that there is more to life than accumulating stu …
