Barcamp Tampa Bay - A First For Tampa
I have known about this event for some time as I was at the one of the original planning meetings for it. But, yes, the Tampa Bay area is finally hosting its own Barcamp. There was one over in Orlando, however I haven’t yet made it over to that one.
Barcamp Tampa Bay will be taking [...]

Gnomedex: Yeah, I’m Going Again
After thinking about it a couple days, I decided to give Gnomedex another go this year. So, it is scheduled for August 21-23rd in Seattle. I think I might check into getting a room right there at Bay Harbour. Last year, I stayed inland from the conference. It was about a 20 minute walk. No [...]
Open Suggestion to Chris Pirillo on Gnomedex 8.0
It looks like Chris Pirillo is starting to organize Gnomedex 8.0 in Seattle in August this year. I got an email from him yesterday where he is giving people who have attended in the past the chance to sign up early.
But, the question I have is this: should I even go?
I went to Gnomedex last [...]
Heading to BlogOrlando Today
This afternoon I am leaving for Orlando where I will be attending BlogOrlando tomorrow. This event is certainly a LOT easier to get to than Gnomedex. Instead of getting on a plane and flying 3,000 miles, I can get in my car and drive 80 miles. So, tonight I will be staying in a room [...]

The Art of Evangelism - Guy Kawasaki at Gnomedex
Guy Kawasaki is the original tech evangelist online. He came to Gnomedex and did a great talk. Guy is a fantastic speaker. He knows what he’s talking about, and he communicates in a clear and humorous way. He had the crowd in stitches several times. The topic of his talk? The [...]
Robert Steele – Open Source Answer to Everything?
Robert Steele was the keynote speech to kick off the first day of Gnomedex. He made a very interesting speech, although it was a lot more political than I was expecting. Essentially, he is a big believer in open everything, and he addressed a lot of our political problems to make [...]
Gnomedex - HP’s Party
I am freshly back from the pre-registration party at Gnomedex 2007, sponsored by Hewlett Packard. That means I spent some time talking to the reps from HP. The guy who is (I believe he said) the head of the design team for their notebook PCs. Interesting conversation. He was showing us their new tablet form [...]
