Next Tuttle: Friday, August 14

August 13th, 2009

We’ve been having a great time with Tuttle LA recently, with wonderful special guests, starting new projects together and even getting some work done. We’ve also been meeting more interesting new people who have been coming to join us for coffee, conversation and computer time at The Library Coffee House in Long Beach.

This week I know I’ll be getting a tutorial on using Amazon’s remote storage solution from Jen, and Jeb is planning on bringing phones for people to play with. I’ll be working on Geoff‘s new Tour Small blog, and we’ll also just be catching up on what’s new.

This Friday should be more good stuff. Why not join us? Let us know if you’re interested in carpooling and sound off in the comments and let us know you’re coming!

The details:

When: Friday, August 14, 2009, 10:30 a.m.

Where: The Library Coffee House in the sunny room on the right
3412 E Broadway
Long Beach, CA 90803

New Tuttle, New Logo

June 16th, 2009

Tuttle Club LA

As you’ll notice, we have a shiny new logo for our site courtesy of the very talented Vaughan Risher. He’s been a Tuttle LA regular for a while now and he decided to take it upon himself to give the Tuttle Club — yes, all of us — a look. He transformed the concepts of a casual coffee meeting and the exchange of ideas into the logo you see above.

There's never a shortage for mobile phones at Tuttle LA

I was away for the last Tuttle, but I heard there were lots of fun things going on including a demo of Google Wave by Jen Hanen. This Friday, we’ll likely be playing with Wave again, and Matthew Arevalo should be brining along a new iPhone 3G. Don’t worry Nokia fans, between Jeb, Jen and Al, there are plenty shiny new Nokia mobiles to play with, too. And if there’s something you’d like to bring or talk about, we don’t have any real agenda, so just come and chat.

So come join us for coffee, conversation and nice respite from the work week where you could still conceivably get work done. All are welcome to join. Let us know if you’ll be coming in the comments. We hope to see you there!

If you’re interested in carpooling, let us know and we’ll see if there’s someone in your area you can ride with.

Next Tuttle LA: Friday, May 22

May 18th, 2009

The last Tuttle was possibly the best one yet, with guests from overseas and some friendly new faces. James Whatley and Vikki Chowney were in from London — I actually know them from the Tuttle Club in London — and they set up shop with James fixing mobile phones and Vikki filming interviews about our mobile phone choices for The Really Mobile Project. Vikki was also the first one of us to actually test out one of the massage chairs — I sat in one for a bit, too, but didn’t put in money to turn it on.

Tuttle regulars Jen Hanen, Jeb Brilliant and Geoff Hickman were there, as were new friends Steve Cooper, the founder of Hitchedmag.com and tech editor at AllBusiness.com; Karen Blondell, who does strategic marketing communications and PR, Vaughan Risher, a graphic designer, and mobile enthusiast Al Pavangkanan.

We’ll be meeting again this Friday, May 22, 2009, at our regular haunt, the Library Coffee House in Long Beach. We’ll be in the strange room to the right of the counter with brightly painted walls and massage chairs, so let us know if you’ll be coming in the comments.
