Colorado Tech Weekly brings you the top 10 information technology stories of the past week and the best upcoming local events every Monday morning!
I found out about a cool new place called Galvanize, so I found a lot more events to include. It looks like a good way to scratch my entrepreneurial and techie itches at the same time. I’m going to have to go check that place out soon. If you know about Galvanize, I’d love to hear for you.
