  There's always the web 2.0 expo ... not purely hackerish, of course but there could be some worthwhile speakers and/or connections to be made http://www.web2expo.com/webexsf2009 http://www.web2expo.com/webexsf2009

    Thanks for the plug, Sean (skmurphy). I host Hackers and Founders (www.hackersandfounders.com), and we get together every couple of weeks to tip a pint and have a chat about stuff. About half of the people that attend are pretty active on Hacker News. If March 25 doesn't work for you, drop me a line, I might be able to schedule a meetup for you that works with your schedule. It would be a shame to come to Silicon Valley for a while and not be able to hook up and chat with interesting people. That's really why you're here. The New Tech Meetup: http://www.meetup.com/svnewtech/ http://www.meetup.com/svnewtech/ happens fairly often and seems to pretty popular. If you can't get in via RSVP, just crash it. A lot of other people do that and they don't seem to get hassled.

  I hate to shamelessly self-promote, but I've actually been working on an event search web app: http://www.gocerebro.com http://www.gocerebro.com It still has a long way to go (right now only about 10 other people know about this), but hopefully it helps. Any feedback would be welcome as well.

  Pivotal Labs does quality (and catered) lunch tech talks every Wednesday. They tend to be web/ruby-centric. Update/Edit: NoiseBridge has weekly meetups in machine learning, synthetic biology, and other subjects. https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/NoiseBridge https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/NoiseBridge

  If you want to catch up with an ex-pat Aussie for a beer or two while you're here, just drop me a line.

  Thanks for all of the great tips everyone. Should keep us busy :). Looking forward to meeting some of you at some of the events.
