Hello from WASHINGTON state!

Just wanted to see if any other forum members live in washington. I live in Everett.

Originally from Maple Valley, I now reside in puyallup. I think we are a few washingtonians amongst this vast website!

lol one my other forums there are many Washingtonians on it surprisingly. I think it was 26% of the people who participated in the poll said "Yes" they were from Washington.

You know i do already Seattle.

Weather in Spokane has been just plain cold. Last week it snowed/hailed a bit, this week it has been finally warming up. Hoping it's warmer tomorrow because we're going paintballing :-D

When? That my friend we don't know...

Hello all,
I am in the hospitality business and organise events for a number of blue chips – in short my company is the best in the business.
I get good rates on hotels, restaurants and have excellent connections for all things conference throughout Europe. So if Italy, Spain, Portugal, South Africa, Uk or Ireland is a possible venue for the proposed event, I will be happy to get involved. I am a big fan of XDA.
Work is on going on our website just now so I am aware that a number of pages need updating... its in the hands of the HTML engineer... link in my signature if ya wanna have a look at what we do.
Best,
J

This would be pretty cool however i've never seen it work out in any other forum. I think the best thing to do would be to create a poll and see where most people are located. Say there's a bundle in California, then we could have one in LA or some place close to all Californians. Same thing for other states, countries, even cities, etc. We could then all share our experiences. As for me, i'm in Southern California, hence the reason i used it

More or less this event might take place in the US or somewhere in Europe...only few asian are here...

It is a nice idea. Make it a convention and invite some guest speakers to show off the future of mobile devices, have reps from HTC and others perhaps like Sony, Motorola, Nokia, Jabra, etc... showing off newest gadgets and gear - Workshop seminars and stuff like that. It could be a fun time to meet some of our members in person, talk, show off our devices and envy the other person's device and a good learning opportunity as well.

it won't be an eyeball anymore. It will look like a convention, a meeting, etc. And that will be boring because everyone should be formal. Just an "ORDINARY' but "GRANDacious" eyeball.. exclusively fro XDA-DEV members and if you like we can invite M$ as our guest speaker..LOL
Just a regular GRAND EYEBALL, just to meet each and everyone here at XDA-DEV. No paper works, no signing up just beer and phones and girls too...

Agree with the poll
Starting form there we can see how many would like to attend and where most people is located
But I must say that I agree with Daveshaw that the best place should be where all this started: Amsterdam!
So who is going to create the poll?

Yeah, Amsterdam would be great! And there will be raffle promos and HTC Devices giveaways courtesy of all xda-dev's moderators and admins... Come one let's make this happen.

Great poll!
LOL
Last option looks pretty cool!

hehehe if that last option wins...you got to pay my expenses going to your place!

just a cent from a newbee, i hope this great idea will happen sooner...
i agree however that safety, next of course to resources, is definitely the issue needed to be considered by anyone else. but who's safe nowadays? i dont think there's a better place than our own abode (just be sure our better half is out.. lol)..
a little clarification though about Philippines vis a vis Abu Sayaff (ASG). ASG concentrates mostly in northern part of Mindanao and now being relentlessly pursued. on the otherhand, there are great places in the Philippines particularly in Luzon & Visayas, although as i've said cant be considered safer that our homes. But on the brighter side, your 1$ to Php47.++ is quite noteworthy of consideration.... more than double the fun i guess
Btw, considering the "safety" issue as quoted, i voted for the last option (peace orb...)
cheers...

Post facts about your country

Cool idea for a thread, so:
My country has 2 names: Palestine and Israel
It is where the three religions came to earth: Islam, Christianity, and Jew
Some parts of it are divided using a huge wall to separate the Israeli parts the Palestinian parts.
We have a lot of Mosques and Churches there.
Jesus Christ was born in a city called Bethlehem and it's where most of Christian tourists go.
I think that's enough for now

Cool idea
I´ll fill it later

good for u , living in a warzone u can play tdm in real life

Post facts about kwait

In england we are all awesome.
We have a queen who has pretty much no power over england.
I live there.
I am awesome.
England = Awesome.

I live in the U.S.A.
We stick our thumbs in everyone's pie and expect thanks for it.
We as a nation are broke but continue to spend billions to help bail out other countries.
We have almost no export except for wheat, corn, soybeans, and rice.
Although our nation was built on religious freedom and immigration we are trying to thwart both.
And our president is just a big a dumb ass as the prior one.
But with all that being said I'd still rather be living here then anywhere else in the world.

I live in the U.S.A, where private citizens can build massive arsenals of weapons while listening to gangster rap. I love this country so much!

for guys in the US say something about your state that will be good

Mmmm,
I'm from Belgium; and we have all.
We have a King, who coast lot of money but don't have power (Just for the chow)
We have a Prince who is waiting to replace his father, bet even the king knows he isn't ready.
Fore the moment still after 207 day's we don't have a government
We have three language communities
The dutch community would like have much.
The France community won't nothing, but thy don't will give something.
The German community; well it's not clear what thy will.
We have a large government deficit; but we saved our banks to sell it to a other country.
Because our country have a large deficit thy decided to sell our public buildings, but now we rent them
We have a minister who is always tired, and he has the power of pensions
Every year our government says that we need to attract foreign companies to settle in Belgium. But in the last years there are more companies who left Belgium.
Our telecomunicate, electricity and gas products are among the most expensive of our neighboring countries.
But I think it's funny here, certainly if your job is Stand up Comedian, our government/country gives you enough stuff to talk/laugh about.

French fighter jets deployed over Libya

So, the west is finally in Libya helping the rebels over there.
http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/africa/03/19/libya.civil.war/index.html?hpt=T1
I believe this is great, as long as air support is the only thing we're supporting with. I know, we are not the world's police, but when such a genocide is taking place I believe it's right to help the people of Libya.

Yeah I think it's about time the UN/US/UK/France did something about this. Colonel Gudaffi (spelling?) is totally messed up in the head. Does he honestly think that attacking even more now is going to help the situation? And more does he think that Pro-Gudaffi people take on the western world? Let's hope it ends well with little or no deaths to be had to those risking their lives going over to help the Libyan people.

I'm shocked at this.

I find it interesting that France is actually getting involved considering they didn't want to have anything to do with the US' involvement in Iraq...maybe they have some interests of their own in Libya?

No politics.

Learning Geography

I searched but didn't find any thread like this...
There are many people here who would travel to different cities, states, countries...
And not everyone knows about everything!
Yes, there's Google, you can search, check reviews...
But wouldn't it be better if we could have some 1st hand information here?
So that someone traveling somewhere new doesn't get harassed unnecessarily...
Also, we could have posts describing the specialties of your region/zone...
Anything social, political, cultural facts...
This could help a lot of people when need be...
If there's anything wrong in it, mods feel free to close the thread... but i just hope we could help each other with a lot many things this way...

The UK is the armpit of Europe. If you come here you will get ripped off by everybody, not just taxi drivers. The beaches don't have sand..or sun for that matter. We specialize in going out on weekends playing catch the STD and throwing up on pavements.
Most of the population think Eastenders is the height of cultural entertainment and our politicians take it in turns every few years to see how hard they can screw the working man over.
You'd be better off going on a camping tour of Pripyat than taking a holiday in the UK.

I'd talk about my City...
Kolkata (earlier Calcutta) is an old Indian Capital City ( Now the Capital Is New Delhi)...
When the British ruled India, calcutta was their capital... So there are some pretty old British monuments, architecture etc...
It is a lazy city... The average summer temperature has been on the rise, it goes to a max of about 45 degree Celsius...
A drop in temperature below 20 degrees is supposedly winter time here!
We have great rains in July-August that floods a few regions...
The population of the city including its suburbs is about 15million! Wherever you go, you'd see people people people!!
There are some nice places to visit, i'll try getting some pics sometime later...
People in general are nice, but you see, there are every kind of people everywhere...
Politically, the communist party was in power from the 70's till a year and a half back...
It's an old, lazy life-style city, will glimpses of sparks during the festive season!
Will post some pics of the festivity that went on last week... it's majestically beautiful
If anyone plans coming to Kolkata (Calcutta), do drop a message to me for sure!

After a day LARPing around in hundred acre woods near Boarhunt, we went to the Ship Inn for a drink, when one of the guys said "Don't look, but that guy at the bar used to be in the Monkees"
Of course we all turned around then realised we didn't have a clue what anyone in the Monkees looked like, so Davy Jones was safe.

Bergen, Norway. The wettest place in the universe. We like to spend our time in front of computers, and being social means to spend $300 on overpriced beer and pizza. At summer time, a million eggshell white norwegians like to migrate to the south of the equator with our best buds, the swedes, and getting drunk and smashing things (much like the brits). We repeat this twice a year; summer and winter.
We also love to whine about everything.
Welcome!

Montreal is Europe in North America. Living here sucks, because the premier of our province (equivalent to governor of a state), is practically openly racist toward the English. Other than the language feud, and the education riots, its a pretty nice place to visit
