It’s the waning hours of the last day of the month, and your chance to not only particpate in a contest to win some cool stuff (including an incredibly stylish WearPittsburgh t-shirt) but also help drive some nice donations to the contest is fading.  Go to Burgh Baby’s site now, register a comment on her contest post, and then start clicking on as many pages as possible in the short hours remaining.   Revenues are determined by page views so the more you read, the more money that’s generated.

With her touching observations and perfect pitch humor about raising a child, you’ll be instantly hooked.   She truly defines the passion and the purpose of a Mommy Blogger, which I began to fully appreciate after WoyGirl arrived.

So… what are you waiting for?

So much to do and so little time - there’s a cornucopia of events happening over the next two days that you should check out if at all possible!  If you go, we’ll probably run into each other there!

Open Coffee Club: Interested in learning more about connecting with investors?  Are you an entrepreneur or prospective entrepreneur? Then you should check out Open Coffee!

The Open Coffee Club was started to encourage entrepreneurs, developers, and investors to organize real-world informal meetups to chat, network, and grow. This is a place to meet people, find out what’s going on nearby you, and then take part. Imagine it as a big open lounge where people come and go, talk to others in their industry, and informally showcase demos of what they are working on. The main goal of Open Coffee is to make investment more transparent to entrepreneurs, and to move away from the formalized “pitch” to an open conversation. Investors can give entrepreneurs really valuable feedback, and this environment is meant to foster that in a pressure-free way.

Open Coffee is happening Wednesday, October 1st (that’s tomorrow!) at AlphaLab (my workplace) at 2325 E. Carson in the Southside.  The coffee and conversation starts flowing at 9:00 AM so if you’re interested please stop by!

Pittsburgh Tweetup: If you are a twitterer and are around the Strip that evening, come by the Firehouse Lounge where two women have organized Pittsburgh’s first Tweetup!  It’s another opportunity to meet and network with those that you might be connected to in Pittsburgh’s rich social media community.   The Firehouse is a really cool, cozy bar that lends itself very well to social events. Check it out from 7:00 to 9:00 PM!

DevHouse Pittsburgh 5: Are you a developer or just seriously interested in technology?  You need to check out DevHouse Pittsburgh (also happening at AlphaLab) on Thursday, October 2nd!  DevHouse is a laid back collaborative event where  information exchange is the standard.  Lightning talks about various technologies and frameworks abound, and coding sessions can break out at any moment.  Food, drink, fun, and wifi will be provided in a great open space!  Things get started at 6:00 PM and run until midnight.

Don't we all?!?

The good Father Spoon sent me a link today, and the minute I saw the URL I hurriedly opened it.

Yes, it’s a website that’s all about sandwiches. With ratings. And a nifty logo.

Call me a sucker, but this website and my website were destined to intersect. It also reinforces the importance of having a good sandwich.

One sandwich that caught my eye had an awesome finish to the recipe:

6. Add a friendly helping of arugula on top of the portobello slices and drizzle the entire sandwich with a little balsamic dressing. Don’t use too much!

7. Eat your sandwiches immediately! Notice the cheese melting and dancing with the portobello! The balsamic and the arugula sing together!

Well said, Ben.  Well said.

We Love Sandwiches has now found a hallowed place in my Google Reader.

Look at the hair!

From the “too much 80’s awesomeness for words” category, it’s been announced that The Greatest American Hero is being made into a movie.

Stephen J. Cannell, creator of the cult ’80s TV series The Greatest American Hero, confirmed to fans that a feature film is in the works.

“We’ve written a screenplay, and we’ve hired a director, and we’re in the midst of putting this together for the future,” Cannell told an audience in Hollywood on Sept. 7 at the Screen Actors Guild’s 25th-anniversary reunion.

This was one of my favorite TV shows growing up, and always thought it would be cool to get a superhero suit from aliens.

But the fact that it would need an instruction book?

Come on… that’s just ludicrous.

(Thanks to I Watch Stuff!)

You’d think for 16 years of futility there would be more blood.

That’s a professional sports record of consecutive losing seasons for those of you scoring at home.
