Minnov8 Gang 359 – Minnebar: The Superbowl for Geeks

April 23, 2016 By Steve Borsch

minnebar_main

This week’s show is from Minnebar, the “Superbowl for Geeks” held once per year at Best Buy’s headquarters in Richfield, MN. We take a moment to remember Prince who passed away this week, and the music selection is a ‘cover’ of a Prince tune as homage to this great musician.

Our special guest is one of the board members from Minne* (the organization that puts on Minnebar). He’s also Kipsu VP of Operations, Minnov8 podcast listener and friend of the show, and an all around great guy: Justin Porter. We talk Minnebar, what he’s been up to, and a bit about Kipsu on this podcast.

Hosts: Steve Borsch and Phil Wilson (Tim Elliott is off this week).
