We’re two weeks away from our Fifth Anniversary Web Innovators Group event on November 29th, I wanted to share the demo’ing companies presenting that night, as we’ve just put together the program. The doors officially open at 6:30pm at the Grand Ballroom in the Cambridge Royal Sonesta, with the “Main Dish” presentations to the entire crowd starting at 7pm:
• FanSwarm (Ayeah Games) – Doug Levin
• HowAboutWe – Brian Schechter
• Moontoast – Blair Heavey & Marcus Whitney
Following those presentations, each of our “Side Dish” demonstrators will have an opportunity to give a quick 15-second overview of their service to the audience followed by a showcase of their company at tables spread throughout the periphery of the skyline suites room during the unstructured networking portion of the evening:
• Ginger Software – Miki Feldman-Simon
• My-Take – Rich Armstrong & Todd Hoskins
• Penmia – Puneet Gangal
• SocialSci – Leon Noel
• Smashion – Daniel Ruan
• Woopid – Brandon S. Kane
All of the above companies were selected amongst dozens of applicants looking to participate in the program. Unfortunately there was not space for other qualifying startups; if yours was not chosen, I’d encourage you to reapply for the next event.
Everyone who is interested in web and mobile innovation is invited to attend the event. Please RSVP (and find additional details) on our event page (http://webinno28.eventbrite.com/) if you plan to join us so we are able to print name tags and appropriately size the rooms.

If this were my cell phone, I might just disconnect the battery to power it down, but since the battery for an iPod is located inside, I can’t remove it and put it back in. At first I figured I either had a lost cause on my hands, would have to reset it old-school style with a paperclip, or just wait for the battery to die. I figured out that having a frozen iPod is actually a pretty common problem, especially in the larger capacity iPods, because these have hard drives like a frozen computer might, instead of the flash-only (like a USB jumpdrive) and more stable memory on smaller ones. I also figured out that since Apple knows this might happen to people every once in awhile, they’ve included a pretty neat and easy solution to it. All you have to do is:
