Gettin’ my nerd on at gdgt Seattle
Wednesday, July 28, 2010 at 5:49PM gdgt held gdgt Live in Seattle last night, a free, public, all-ages networking and preview event taking place down at Showbox SoDo for tech companies, bloggers, reporters, creative professionals, and simple tech aficionados alike. Blog founders Ryan Block and Peter Rojas hosted the event, which featured demos of the latest products from tech companies, booths with demos and samples galore, drinks such as the ‘T-mobile Rocket Cosmopolitan,’ and geeky swag for everyone that attended. Media were invited to attend a press conference before the official public event kicked off, and throughout the evening, Block and Rojas held a live discussion on stage with a rotating panel of commentators to discuss some of the latest trends and innovations coming out of the digital and consumer technology space.
A few of personal highlights (and, let’s be honest, a rundown of their swag) included checking out:

Gazelle.com - a site for trading in/selling used electronics, such as an iPhone 3G |
