Fukuoka Geeks and Fukuoka-IT Join
Fukuoka Geeks and Fukuoka-IT will be joining to form the premiere social network
for people interested in Information Technology (IT) and Geeking out in Fukuoka.
Fukuoka-IT will be having two meetings a month:
Geek Night (Gaming, Anime and other fun stuff)
Every 2nd Friday of the Month
Evenings at Starbuck’s next to Junkudo Bookshop.
Tech Night (Up Your Skill Set)
Last Saturday Evening of the Month
Place to be announced (though AIP Cafe is most likely)
To celebrate and to get to know each other better we’ll have a mixer at a restaurant
downtown on March 27th. I’m not sure where yet, but I’m thinking Three Kings.
Fukuoka Geeks Meet Up
Feb 1st
Fukuoka Geeks
We are starting a meet up group called “Fukuoka Geeks”. It will be held at least once a month and all are invited to attend. The first meeting will be held Friday February 19th. The location is to be decided (TBD) but should be somewhere in Tenjin. It all depends on the number of people interested.
We want to get the Fukuoka Geek Community together to talk technology. Doesn’t matter if you are a big geek or just a little geeky, come down and meet. We hope both Japanese and Gaijin will come so get ready to speak a little Japanese (or English).
When: February 19th, 2010 (Friday)
Where: Tenjin (TBD)
Who: Anyone that is interested in technology.
More details will follow.

Apple Store in Tenjin Fukuoka, Japan
May 22nd
Not sure if most of you know or not but Fukuoka is lucky enough to have it’s own Apple Store!! The Apple Store in Fukuoka is located in Tenjin, which is basically the shopping district. Tenjin is where everything happens! Great Shopping, great food, great drink, great people watching, and a lot of other stuff. I had to make a quick trip down there to buy a new power cord for my MacBook since I left the other one at one of the schools I work at, and I didn’t have time to go get it. It was one of those days when you have a lot of free time and need to get a lot done, but don’t want to have to “stop by the office” if you know what I mean.
