Kristine 3.0

A couple of weekends ago Ashley Brown, Adam Raven, and myself hosted an interview with Kristine Gloria for our podcast. At one point in her interview she mentioned Austin 3.0, but never really expanded on what that is exactly. Austin 3.0 is a website that Kristine and her friend Joey Lopez created as somewhat of a social website. They are interested in the "techie" and "geeky" things going on around Austin and want to know more. This description was taken from the website

Austin 3.0 is a website created by Kristine and Joey to give the younger Austin Geek a place to see what is going on in Austin. We hope to create more communication between the various geeky groups around town and help create a greater young Austin geek community

So who is Kristine and why does she consider herself an "Austin Geek?"

Kristine has been a geek since the earliest days of her first Juno account. Her geek background includes a vivid memory of receiving a Turbo C++ book in seventh grade from her father.She is approaching her sixth year in the live capital music of the world and is a relative newbie to the Austin tech scene. She now dabbles in the following: media/cultural studies, high tech public relations, outdoor adventures, impromptu swims, constantly reading and networking.

And what about her friend Joey?

Joseph Lopez has been in the Austin Tech Scene since 1999 when he arrived as a pimple faced freshmen at UT Austin. He would frequent Smartchip Computers back in the day (Pre-Fry’s era) and many other hardware shops that worked out of warehouses. His Current Ventures Include: Concert Sound (A local high-end audio store), Small Buisness Website Building, Personal Multimedia Production and many more roals with other fellow young austin entrepenures ventures.

So if any of you "Austin Geeks" want to know what's up, check out their website Austin 3.0.
