As a cofounder (Mike) of the Mountain Maryland Tech Network, I can tell you that there are a lot more “techies” in Western Maryland than you might think and there’s a program this Tuesday in Hagerstown on SBIR and STTR tech funding.  Good stuff if you own/manage a technology business or are thinking of a start-up.

Here’s a link to an interesting piece by Steven Doctor, Ocean City area fish biologist. It deals with salt water fish mysteries but I thought readers might find it interesting.  I wonder if DNR ever encounters any “surprise” species here in or around the lake?

Talking about (mostly) saltwater species, here’s your reminder that it’s Shark Week! A very popular week-long series of shark-themed programming on the Discovery Channel in its 30th year!
