Pentathanerd, day 2: Foosball

Here are a few highlights and low blows from the medal round of Foosball – perhaps the most physically demanding of the Pentathanerd’s five sweat-free games.

Sports fans, we have you covered. It’s baseball’s All Star Break and most other leagues are in their off-seasons. Perfect timing for Pentathanerd. Mental training camp happens throughout the calendar year at The Nerdery, but you won’t see any of it on ESPN. Keep watching Inside The Nerdery.

Get your Dojo working

Tonight’s Twin Cities Web Design user group meeting here at The Nerdery features Dojo guru Chris Barber of CB1, Inc. Chris will do a show-and-tell on how he uses the Dojo JavaScript toolkit to build rich apps. He’ll cover: manipulating the DOM; event handling; cross-browser quirks; widgets; and the build system.

What: Dojo – JavaScript’s Swiss Army Knife

When: Wednesday, July 15, 6-8 p.m.

Where: The Nerdery

We’re pleased to host this user group, and all the more pleased when we know who’s coming (so we can order enough pizza), so please leave a comment on the TC Web Design website if you’re Nerdery bound (resident nerds, same goes if you’re staying).
