Pete Freitag blogged an apparent association between beards and successful languages . This one may be pushing it, but just to be sure I don't jinx anything, I'll keep mine. :-)
Adam Howitt just e-mailed me to tell me about (and invite me to) CFLunch. As per Adam, "I run a CFLunch meeting every other Wednesday for ColdFusion developers in the loop area.
