We are the Peninsula and South Bay Bicycling Group (PSBBG)! Without exception, we aim to be a clean fun group - no drugs, alcohol, or flouting of California vehicle code on these rides, other than rolling through a stop sign at your own discretion.  We do not welcome cross-posts or suggested rides with other groups which do not follow these guidelines. This group is for experienced group-riding road-bike riders. Owning a road-bike is a requirement to join the group, (as opposed to mtn bikes, hyb …

The popularity and use of DRUPAL has grown by leaps and bounds; thanks to the vibrant community it has developed around it. The South Bay DRUPAL meetup is another effort in building and strengthening the local Drupal Community. Please join to discuss new and exciting Drupal-related stuff or just socialize with like-minded people!

This group is an experiment, and partly a selfish one. I just finished grad school, moved out to the city, and finally have had some time to really explore what it is that I want out of life. And, shit! This stuff can be *difficult* to grapple with. For example, how do we achieve true happiness? What does "success" mean? What are the implications of mortality on daily life? Can we care more about the rest of the world than we currently do? Where the *hell* is Waldo? If you're in your twenties …

We love listening to interesting stuff. From String Theory to Seventeenth Century Scandal and everything in between. We're foodies at heart, love the New Yorker, dabble with Freakanomics and have been known to indulge in a bit of RadioLab. There is just so much out there and finding it might be quite overwhelming. Also, the cool people making these amazing audio bytes (Audio/Podcast producers) need hints on making their programmes, what their listeners really thought and maybe some inspiration …

This group is for members who enjoy electronics. Whether it be circuit design, PCB design, digital design, analog design, or firmware, come out and show us what your working on, because we will be bringing our stuff!

Well, let’s just dip our toe shoes into the water, here, and see if there’s any balletomania afoot, for a new meetup now. Amid the epoch of “Black Swan" at the movies, and with the Giants having won the World Series (yes, whipping through 32 fouetté turns is almost as hard as hitting a Lincecum fastball), and now the first book ever published about the entire history of ballet (“Apollo’s Angels,” by Jennifer Homans), and, ta-dah, most important of all, with the world-class San Francisco Ballet …

Please join if you enjoy sharing or wants to learn more about a new economy, a new way of life where people share their time, objects, space and resources for a better world. This is an economy where peers, neighbors and people help one another meet basic needs, providing access over ownership. More connection --> less stuff. This group will facilitate bringing all of the sharers out there together to hang out, attend events, dinners, and meetups to tell stories and meet others who have the same …

This is a crazy idea I have.  To create a kind of virtual, old-fashioned neighborhood of friends to do stuff with when its more fun to be with someone than alone. I have no idea if anyone else has a need for this kind of community, nor have I thought through the details of how to make it work.  I need folks to show interest, share ideas, and share in leadership. Purpose: Create horizontal community that transcends age and interests.  Community for the sake of community.  There is nothing wrong w …

Hello Everyone! So I don't know what's going on but the people that I have met lately through daily interactions have been completely opposite of the type of person I am. I really do get along with everyone, but recently I haven't met people that I have a lot in common with so I thought I would take this approach to meet great people. I love doing random fun stuff throughout the week, hiking, exploring anything anywhere, trying new things (because that new thing could turn into something awesome …

Want to connect things to the internet? So do we, so much so that we made a company to make that sort of stuff rather easier and more accessible than it was before. To help people get started, the plan is to have regular hackathon type events so they can play with imps in a setting where there are other people doing the same sort of thing. Soldering will be encouraged, but you really just need some imagination. If you don't know what an imp is, see www.electricimp.com

So I'm sitting in this three-day, 13-hour-a-day Landmark Education self-improvement seminar in San Francisco, and all I could think about was escaping through one of the (hermetically sealed) windows and making a dash for Nob Hill, the only thing resembling a steep incline in the area. It was during the dinner break during the final day of the seminar that I conspired with Paul Schutzman and Mai-Ling Garcia -- two of the very cool people with whom I'd made a connection during our three days of c …

This group is for people who love to build, ride, break then repair, tweak some settings and ride their scooters. I am also personally out to make what I call "The Police Magnet" "The God Scooter". Something so powerful, everyone on earth will want one from us. It's also for casual meetups, dinners, talking about design, testing in a friends garage one day then maybe going on a road trip the next. Scooteringging, is a safe, effective, cheap, and environmentally nice way to get from point A to Po …

Too much stuff you don't use? Join the club. Trade your unwanted stuff for stuff you want!! Simply RSVP, show up, and swap! This easygoing, no fuss group will get together every couple of months (or more often depending on interest level) at a public park, community room, coffee shop, someone's house, etc. to bring stuff to trade.

This is a group for Indian women looking to hang out and make female friends. Most of us have moved here and left friends and families behind which leaves a big void in our otherwise busy lives. The aim of this group is to help desi women foster lasting friendships. Also, we'll have kick-ass 'kitty' parties! Here are a few guidelines if you're interested in joining: 1) You don't have kids. If you do, you're welcome to join but this groups meetups are not the best place to talk about them. Consid …

i regularly want to know if one product is better then another, or if i should be buying the top shelf margarita instead of from the well, or maybe its the other way around. whats the best tasting cheddar, do i truly like coke better then pepsi or do i just say that? do Nips really suck compared to Cheez-Its and what makes those 10 different kinds of Gin at the store taste different? the only thing that keeps me from answering this question is money and memory. i don't have the money to order 22 …
