When Tim Hwang http://www.fabulousbitches.org/ was a senior at Harvard, he decided to stage a convention that would be the physical manifestation of the Internet, and that event, ROFLcon www.roflcon.org, succeeded in unleashing sheer ridiculousness upon the world. Being a geek and missing it is like being a hippie and having missed Woodstock in 1969, but now you have a chance to catch some of the scholarly lunacy if you couldn't be at the original convention in April at MIT.

ROFLthing is happening August 29 in San Francisco, and may soon be coming to your town, too. Click for all the details...
