Summer Field Trip
Topic: Secret for Now
Presenter: Joshua Blake
Our usual location at Excella HQ isn't available this month. So we've lined up space at the Microsoft Office in Chevy Chase on Wisconsin Ave. (Metro stop: Friendship Heights)
The topic is secret for now, so you know whatever we're going to talk about s going to be *new* and *very cool*. Josh is a renowned NUI (Natural User Interface) expert and even wrote a book on the topic.
We just wanted to let everyone know well ahead of time that we're not meeting in our usual place.
We'd say more about the meeting topic, but that would get us into big trouble. :)
Stay tuned for updates.

Terrible Traffic Tuesday
Parts.Common.Body.Summary.cshtml – The template for summary of a content item's body.I always dreaded the first workday after Labor Day -- Not for the reasons you think, but for the traffic.
Turns out this phenomena has a name: Terrible Traffic Tuesday or T3.
Tuesday's forecast is rough not just for weather. Traffic is likely to be brutal too.
AAA Mid-Atlantic calls it Terrible Traffic Tuesday, the day summer vacations are over and millions of people are getting back on the roads into some of the worst gridlock in the country.And this year could be even worse because the military's Base Realignment could put tens of thousands more cars on the region's roads.
Speaking of Traffic
Parts.Common.Body.Summary.cshtml – The template for summary of a content item's body.Speaking of traffic in the DC area, I just submitted an app called “DC Traffic” that should be available next week.
It won’t be on the Marketplace for Terrible Traffic Tuesday, but here’s a sneak peak.

Hack for Good Register for the VIP Hackathon on April 30 in DC
Parts.Common.Body.Summary.cshtml – The template for summary of a content item's body.The Pew Center on the States launched the Voting Information Project (VIP) initiative in 2008 to become the 21st century transmission line between election offices and voters. VIP answers voters’ most common questions -- things like “where do I vote?”, “who is on my ballot?”, and “how do I navigate the voting process?” The project makes official information available in places where voters are looking for it, whether online or on their mobile devices.
Now, in this hot-button election year, Microsoft has partnered with Pew to host a VIP Hackathon and invites you to roll up your sleeves to help make a difference. On April 30, 2012, join Pew, Microsoft, the Sunlight Foundation, and many others to unleash the potential of this amazing and timely collection of civic data.
What tools do you need to be a better citizen? What app would get your friends out to the voting booth? What data would benefit your local board of elections? Come mash, hack, and mind meld with other civic hackers and problem-solve these and other exciting questions.
