I thought that the sessions today worked really well. Korny's
presentation on the Raphaël JavaScript Library was interesting, and
Alec's ideas on startups were gold - it was refreshing to hear someone
talking about tech startups who was not directly influenced by Paul
Graham/Y Combinator.
If you are interested in technology-based startups (and you are in
Melbourne), you should check out:

startup ideas)

http://thehive.org.au/ - Monthly networking and presentations (the
podcast from the recent session with Steve Sammartino from Rentoid
would be worth listening to)
There were a few more people than expected (approximately 25), so we
might have to grab the main area in the JDS office next month.
