Mash Pit is in full force, and we're just about wrapping up our various projects. I am going to be going out to dinner with our pal Rael, but the rest of the Mash Pitters will be having dinner at Zagora on Guerrero, and then after that a group of us are going to have drinks at Lone Palm on 22nd Street, right across from the place we had the event. Come by!

UPDATE: So, MashPit, as you can read on the description on Upcoming, was a single day of hacking by a small group of 12-15 people. In the morning we discussed what human problems we would attempt to solve and then broke up into three groups. My group, which included Niall Kennedy, Chris Ratcliff, and Josh Kinberg built a thing called WhuffieTracker, an ego surfing tool which aggregates (or will aggregate, when it's working!) all blog posts, comments, links, tags, photos, conversations and bits of attention focused on you you you. What could possibly be more interesting? Cal Henderson, Alex Russell and Matt Mullenweg built a collaborative localization tool (I'll find out if it's up anywhere, it's cool) and Chris Messina, Nima Dilmaghani and Brad Neuberg built a thing called "Event in a Box", which pulls together a bunch of tools to make planning an event easier.

In all, it was a great day. Tomorrow I'm going to pull together a bunch of half-finished posts about the creative process, and add in some of what we learned today doing Mash Pit. Thanks, Chris and Brad, for putting it together!
