Timbuk2's rugged good looks have been adding urban flavor to the Silicon Valley's khaki couture since 1989. But with its pioneering Build Your Own Bag website and cheeky bag-in-a-box packaging, Timbuk2 isn't just a one-liner. Join former CEO Mark Dwight tonight at Ameriprise to learn how this homegrown boy created the brand that has made bicycle commuting hipper than thou. If the only accessory on your mind is the iPhone, here's an excuse to go the Apple Store in Union Square: Felice Frankel and George M. Whitesides will be discussing On the Surface of Things: Images of the Extraordinary in Science at 7:00 p.m. You can also experience the next phase in networks when Jason Hoffman of Joyent will be telling his favorite story, Learning from Early Success of One Thousand and One Rails Application, at Google. And tomorrow morning at Cafe De La Presse, Didier Lombard of the Orange-France Telecom Group takes you on a journey of the high-speed pathways of the 21st century during a breakfast for his book The Second Life of Networks.
