that is a nice offer. the only issue is public transportation and IIRC
bentley is in waltham and hard to get to on the T.

well, it would be a good topic for a tech meeting whereever it is
held. if someone knows the google api already, they could write up some
notes on it. i am not sure what kind of interesting/useful hacking could
get done in our meetings. we haven't gone beyond heckling code in the
area of group development. :)

on a related note, i learned of a group dev game at mac conferences
called machack. teams have 24 hours to come up with the coolest hack. i
was thinking of stealing the idea for yapc::buffalo. a google perl hack
would be a nice theme for this. if anyone is going to yapc and would
want to help organize/judge this, let me know.
