-The latest trend amongst the geeks? NOT twittering/blogging/tumblring/facebooking their social interactions. Though it's really hard to actually keep a social media famester party on the DL; props to them for trying (it's so cute). One meetup that didn't care about being found out: the"Meet the Tech" wine and cheese event last night, brought to you by the lovely ladies of nonsociety and pals (left). [Nonsociety]

Internet Week's still going on?! You betcha it is. These dorks have years of partying to catch up on- am I right? Last night, after the "popular nerds" -um how's that for a paradox, gathered to watch hear Their Omnipotent Leader Barry Diller speak at the Rockefeller center, they moved onwards down to Webster Hall to mingle with the plebs (Gawker commenters and the likes), at DIGG's Diggnation party. (MC HAMMER CAME!) From here they moved on to M2 for Thrillist's party, or maybe Gawker's rooftop soiree.

-Okay, so if the reasons Julia Allison was fawning over Randi Zuckerberg (like an Adrien Field to a Rambin-owned fur coat) weren't obvious, it should be quite. clear. now. Honestly, I don't know what everyone is so worked up about. Look, we got this video out of it didn't we? Happy Friday. [1938 Media]
