Here you go: the rest of New York's Digital Technology Week, both the official and the unofficial. The Silicon Alley Insider, by the way, has a great list of some stuff going on around the city on Tuesday night that I missed in my earlier recap, involving Diggnation and a Natalie Portman nude scene. W-T-F, Wes Anderson?

WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 26
-- 11:30 AM ET: Guitar Hero III is unveiled in an event space near Times Square. It's invite-only, but knowing these things, some of the PR will spill out into the streets of midtown.
-- 8 PM ET: Tune into ABC to see if Mark Cuban got voted off Dancing with the Stars.

THURSDAY, SEPT. 27
-- 8:00 AM-5:30 PM: Digital Media Wire's Millennials Conference at Scandinavia House
--1:00 PM-7:00 PM ET: The big event of the week, the DigitalLife
-- 7:00 PM ET: Center Networks holds a mixer for the Web 2.0 crowd at the For Your Imagination studios.

FRIDAY, SEPT. 28
-- 8:30 AM-4:00 PM ET: Ypulse Tween Mashup conference at the Jacob Javits Convention Center
-- DigitalLife continues at the Javits Center (11:00 AM to 7:00 PM)

SATURDAY, SEPT. 29
-- 12:00 PM ET: The Mega Meetup in Brooklyn's Prospect Park-- a confluence of multiple New York-based Meetups to celebrate the Scott Heiferman-founded site's fifth anniversary.
-- DigitalLife continues at the Javits Center (11:00 AM to 7:00 PM)

SUNDAY, SEPT. 30
-- DigitalLife wraps up at 6:00 PM ET.
-- 6:00 PM ET: Most bars in the city are going to be open for quite a while longer. Go have fun. And if you're underage, go play Halo 3 instead.

With the DigitalLife Expo, several other conferences, and a whole bunch of tech press from all over the place in town, it's rather fitting that the municipal government has decided to designate September 24-30 as "Digital Technology Week." But because this is New York and we're used to weekends that start on Wednesdays, the tech hubbub really starts, well, tonight. So get that workday wrapped up!

FRIDAY, SEPT. 21
-- 6PM ET: Startup Weekend kicks off at Polytechnic University in Brooklyn

SATURDAY, SEPT. 22
-- 3 PM ET: OneWebDay lecture in Washington Square Park, featuring Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, Rocketboom founder Andrew Baron, NYCWireless' Dana Spiegel, and more.
-- 10 PM ET: OneWebDay and iCommons party at For Your Imagination studios
-- Startup Weekend continues at Polytechnic University

SUNDAY, SEPT. 23
-- Startup Weekend wraps up at Polytechnic University

MONDAY, SEPT. 23
-- 8 AM ET: MIXX 2.7 expo, held by the Interactive Advertising Bureau and part of the city's Advertising Week, kicks off at the Crowne Plaza Times Square hotel
-- 6:30 PM ET: The monthly Web 2.0 Social Networking Tech Meetup at Slate Plus bar (54 West 21 St.) Sun Microsystems is sponsoring and providing refreshments
-- 6:30 PM ET: NewTeeVee's first-ever New York "Pier Screening" hosted by Om Malik et al. -- RSVP required
-- 8 PM ET: It's wholly unrelated to Technology Week, but this is when gazillionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban will make his first appearance on Dancing with the Stars

TUESDAY, SEPT. 25
-- 12 AM ET: Halo 3 hits shelves. New York's official launch party is at the Best Buy at 29 5th Avenue
-- MIXX 2.7 and Advertising Week continue

We'll post Wednesday the 26 through Saturday the 29 in a few days. Chances are, more opportunities to mingle with fellow nerds will surface.
