I’ll be there. I hope to see old local blog friends and meet new ones.

Metropolitan Coffee & Tea
(across the street from Vroman’s)
Saturday, November 10
10:00 a.m. – noon

(Advice is free. We offer no guarantees, other than that we’ll probably be happy to see you. We’ve been happy to see everyone we’ve ever met through office hours. It’s fun to meet people.)

Boo! This is Gavin posting that we’re having office ours at Wheatberry today from 10:15 or so until noon-ish. They have wireless. I’ll be hacking.

Office hours are on for Saturday, October 13!

We’ll be at Metropolitan (across the street from Vroman’s) from 10 a.m. to noon. Wireless is free at Metropolitan. I’ll have my laptop with me. If you want help with your existing blog, help starting a blog, help figuring out what RSS is, or if you just want to hang out and visit, come on by.

Also, Pasadena Art Weekend starts tonight with Art Night Pasadena (free admission to Pasadena’s art venues and free shuttles between locations).

No office hours this Saturday. (I’m working on a big project over the weekend.) I’ll be back online and in the swing of things again soon, though.

Office hours for Saturday, September 15 are cancelled. Sorry for the short notice! One of our family members got sick and we need to take this weekend off.

Office hours for Saturday, September 15 will be hosted by Susan Kitchens of 2020 Hindsight.

Last weekend was the first of the new office hours — the kind where you can come with your blogging or RSS questions and get help and ideas from me and the other bloggers around. (For free!) You can also just come and hang out and drink coffee and meet neighbors.

People came with great questions. We tackled adding badges to a blog sidebar, learning how to resize images, and setting up Google Analytics on a couple of people’s blogs to track stats. Someone was planning a new business blog, and we talked about whether Wordpress would be right for it, and about hosting Wordpress on your own server versus using the free hosted version. People helped each other, and there was a lot of just hanging out, too.

Susan brought the Economist’s Who’s afraid of Google? article.

Ed Padgett from the Los Angeles Times Pressmens 20 Years Club came to visit and brought us copies of the SGV Tribune and the LA Times, since I’m turning into a paper reader.

Metropolitan opened at 9:45 a.m. that day, which was odd since their posted hours said they opened at 7:30 a.m. It got me thinking, though, that 10:00 a.m. really is a more sensible time to be up and out on a Saturday morning, so next time — September 15 — we’ll start at 10:00 a.m. Come on by with questions, ideas, food for thought, or just your neighborly self.

Office hours for Saturday, September 1 will be at Metropolitan (across the street from Vroman’s) from 9:00 a.m. – noon.

Wireless is free at Metropolitan. I’ll have my laptop with me. If you want help with your existing blog, help starting a blog, or help figuring out what RSS is and how to use it, come on by. Also, please feel free to come by just to visit!

Beginning this weekend, Eye Level Pasadena office hours will be different.

They’ll be every other week on Saturday mornings from 9:00 a.m. – noon, and they’ll be at local coffee shops with free wireless. I’ll have my laptop with me. If you want help with your existing blog, help starting a blog, or help figuring out what RSS is and how to use it, come on by. Also, please feel free to come by just to visit!

I’m still deciding which Pasadena coffee shop to start with. Any suggestions?

Every other weekend, Gavin and I station ourselves at a Pasadena hangout for an hour or two. Come on by and say hi!

This Saturday, August 18, Eye Level Pasadena office hours will be at Euro Pane Bakery again from 9:00 – 10:00 a.m. Hope to see you there.
