It’s Valentine’s Day, it’s the warmest day we’ve had in a very long time, and it will be positively Spring-like by the end of the week. While that’s a lot of temptation to take it easy somewhere outdoors, there’s also a lot of excellent temptation to head out to a local bar to catch some great technology events this week. Like an answer to the epic battle of humans vs. computers! Plus other great events. A roundup of the ones that caught our eye are below, and you can find a full schedule at DC Tech Events.
