Now that the technology conference March Madness is over, how are other mediums using that technology to achieve more?

• Learn how to videoblog, or just collaborate on projects with other vloggers at SuperHappyVlogHouse. The gathering commences with a Creative Commons talk at 4pm on March 31, and vloggers likely will produce content into the wee morning hours of April 1 at The Hat Factory in San Francisco. The NewTeeVee team will be onsite joining the fun.
• The Nonprofit Technology Network (N-TEN) is holding the Nonprofit Technology Conference, which focuses on “Reinventing Politics: Creating Social Change From the Ground Up,” from April 4-6 in Washington, D.C.

While all the other techies are at South By Southwest next week, strike out on your own and play in some other circles.

• Craigslist Foundation is hosting a Nonprofit Night on Tuesday March 13 at 111 Minna in San Francisco. Entrepreneurs’ knack for resourcefulness also comes in handy for nonprofits, and you’ll probably hear some interesting operating models.
• Yelp Elite Parties have become so notorious that they have transcended being a tech event and have graduated to full party status. The next one is on Wednesday March 14 starting at 8pm at Mighty, 119 Utah St in San Francisco. Not Yelp Elite? Psst, it’s open to the public after 10pm.
• Get a taste of a different art scene here in the Bay Area. The 25th Annual San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival kicks off on Thursday, March 15 with an opening gala at the San Francisco Asian Art Museum. For the techies unsure what to see, Year of the Fish is a rotoscope animated fairy tale, in the same artistic style as Scanner Darkly.
• If you’d rather stick to the educational tech events, register for the Web 2.0 Expo taking place April 15-17 in San Francisco. The program will spotlight experts, leaders, and under-the-radar innovations, and in the spirit of Web 2.0, there will be ample opportunity for attendees to connect, contribute, and collaborate. Take advantage of special GigaOM $300 early bird discount by entering code “webex07mk7” when registering. Just remember, the code expires on Monday, March 12.
