This week we have a variety of "Special to Santa Cruz Tech Beat" articles. Sunbank, TimeBank, Girls in Tech at UCSC, Idea Fab Lab's open house. Plus more.

We might skip a digest or two in the next few weeks due to vacation but we will still publish hot news on our website and push it out via social media. If you follow SCTB exclusively by reading this weekly digest, it's time to start visiting our website, too. While you're there, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, G+.
