GeekFest 2008 There are some minor schedule changes, so I thought I'd repost the GeekFest line-up: If you're anywhere near Florida August 1-3, St. Petersburg is the place to be. For the nominal fee of $100, you can hang out with the APhotoADay community, which is having its annual gathering. The weekend is jam packed with some incredible speakers. So, if you're looking for some inspiration and motivation -- don't miss it:
