BarCamp In Charleston
This past weekend I attended the first BarCampCharleston. I must say, this event was as fun and enlightening as I thought it would be. Thanks to all that put the event together. And special thanks to the Lowcountry Innovation Center for hosting the event. If I ever do a startup, I’ll be looking there for space.
One thing I discovered was, it really sucks that you can’t be in two places at once. While I enjoyed all the sessions I attended, I regret missing a couple of the other cool ones. I think my high school drum skills would have helped me in the Rock Band Challenge. Also, there were a few times that I thought, “what the @*&% are they talking about?” I really need to do a lot of tech reading in my spare time. Apparently, there is a lot I need to learn about Github and Amazon Web Services.
In another session, I finally got to see how @jaredwsmith does his weather tracking magic. Who knew there were so many free tools to track weather? Also, thanks goes to @bank_daddy for sending the Google Wave invite. Now I feel like a hip techie.
BaconCamp, the last session I attended, was a bacon lover’s dream. Ted, from Ted’s Butcher Block brought in a couple hundred samples of bacon. Let me tell you, that stuff you get at your local grocery store does not compare. I still have applewood bacon flashbacks.
Now that I’ve attended a BarCamp, I can really see the need for BarCampBank. I don’t know if we can get 130+ attendees, but I’d sure like to try. So what do you think, BarCampBankCharleston in February 2010?
