In partnership with Utah Free Media, XMission will sponsor a live video broadcast from the event. You can access the broadcast at www.utahfm.org

Grant Sperry from XMission will present on Thursday, so please come and clap loudly for him!

The Library is located at 210 East 400 South in Salt Lake City. This class begins at 2 p.m. and usually lasts until 4 p.m.

Our instructor, Kyle Waters, will provide some info about how the web works and then dive into creation of basic and dynamic pages. You’ll leave with a great foundation for your future web developments (or at least, experiments).

Please visit the Salt Lake Public Library Website for registration information.

We offer other library classes on the second Wednesday afternoon of every month. Generally these classes are beginner-level, but we are always looking for intermediate and advanced instructors if you want to teach.  We hope to see you soon!

With screens and party locations for all festivals in Park City and downtown Salt Lake City, you are sure to find something to do this week.

Festivals:

Sundance Film Festival The grandest of the festivals, Sundance pulls in Hollywood elite for swank parties and some pre-release films.

Slamdance Film Festival This is likely the most true to form of the “Indie” Film Festivals. XMission is a proud sponsor of this festival.

XDance Film Festival All you need in action sport films! I’ve watched many of these films myself.

While you are experiencing the glitter and glam of the cinema elite, be sure to check out the free XMission wireless on Salt Lake’s Main Street and at the Treasure Mountain Inn located at the top of Park City’s Historic Main Street.

If you happen to use Twitter, here are just a folks talking about the events in PC and SLC:  @Slamdance @SlugMag @SlashFilm @Rejects @FirstShowing @ErikDavis @EricDSnider @XDance

Have a great week and thanks for visiting!

Their mission is to become the voice of social media technology — whether it be for business or personal use — in the Salt Lake area. Their goals are to expand media literacy, provide educational opportunities and promote ethical standards.

I believe this will be a great addition to the local scene and plan on attending. XMission is donating some schwag bags with goodies for the raffle.

Tonight is their first meeting: Thursday, January 15, 2009 @   5:00 pm

This is an organizational meeting/mixer networking event with an open invite. The group encourages you to invite anyone you know in the SLC area to attend. As they like to say, “Everyone is welcome!”

You can learn more about this group on their website: http://www.smcslc.org.

They are also active on Facebook , Twitter, and on LinkedIn.

Check them out and say “Hello” when you see me there tonight.

See you soon!

Tonight is the first-ever Ignite SLC event at the Leonardo. There will be some great talks, a paper airplane Olympics and a whole lot of fun. I hope you’ll join us.

The idea is that within the technology, education, community and business tracks, there will be plenty to talk about.

• HOWTOs will help others get started
• HOWTOs will help families use open source together
• HOWTOs will provide a stepping stone along the road to technology mastery
• HOWTOs will let those that are masters get together and make the products better.

The conference boasts an impressive list of speakers covering an extensive range of topics:
