Welcome! We are a diverse group of open-minded people with interests that are somewhat unusual.  Our hope is for the Geek Club (Peninsula Chapter) to be a place for meeting like-minded people with which to go on adventures or just hang out.  Most of our events are very laid-back, so don't be afraid to jump right in. Our group definition of geeky is fairly broad.  Anything off the beaten track:  anime, computers, science and science fiction, cult films, unusual art processes, fighting robots and …

I recently attended my first conference for women in technology (the Grace Hopper Celebration) and was blown away by how exciting it was to be surrounded by so many smart, awesome women in tech. Join up if you want that experience (on a smaller scale, of course) here in Silicon Valley! I'm picturing this as a group where we can get together socially and meet other women who share our passion for computers and technology. We could also meet up at events like She's Geeky or attend tech seminars.

Where else but the Bay Area could you start a moms group full of engineers, programmers and techies of all stripes? This won't be your typical mommies group! We will promote family friendly tech events and other ideas for sharing technology with your kids or getting away for a while with other tech oriented women. Events we promote may be all over the Bay Area, but many of them will be worth the drive.

Good people, good times, D&D.

Ubiquitous Media is the messy collision of ubiquitous computing, augmented reality, physical computing, personal sensing, transmedia and urban systems.
