BarCamp LA 3 Next Weekend!
Posted by Jason Cosper | Filed under BarCamp LA, Events, Geekery
Heads up! The 3rd installment of BarCamp LA is coming up next weekend (March 24th & 25th, 2007) at Little Radio Warehouse in Downtown LA. For those folks who’ve never been to a BarCamp before, it’s a completely free conference (with meals, snacks and beer) where the schedule is open for the attendees to give presentaions on topics they are passionate about. Want to talk about Microformats or web frameworks? Great! Is teaching folks yoga or how to mod their Wii more your speed? That’s totally awesome too!
As with most 2 day BarCamp type events, everyone’s encouraged to stay overnight — so bring your sleeping bag and your laptop — if they’re so inclined. If they do, they’re in for a geekfest that’s guaranteed to last until the wee hours of the morning at the very least.
So if you’re going to be in the LA area that weekend, I’d really love to see you there. Feel free to sign up on the wiki and throw your name on the list at Upcoming.
Making Change
Posted by Jason Cosper | Filed under General
Life’s been this wonderfully weird flurry of events (both expected and unexpected) for a little while now. Quite a few changes have been happening behind the scenes, but I don’t quite feel like sharing them right now. It just doesn’t seem like the right time or place to do so.
So what’s the use of me posting then? Well, I just wanted to tell the people who care enough to read this site that I’m in kind of a transitionary period right now. And I don’t know where it’s going to take me, but I’m excited to find out. I guess I’ll just know when I get there…
I’m Not Even Supposed To Be Here Today

I don’t even like first person shooters all that much — but when I swung by the office to drop off my weekly groceries, I ended up getting roped into a LAN game of Quake 3. Despite the fact that I totally suck at first person shooters, I have to admit that it was actually kind of fun.
Why Quake 3? Well, it’s one of the only games that the Mac, Linux and Windows people in the office can all play without too much trouble. If it’s cross platform, who really cares if it’s 8 years old?
I’ll probably stick with my DS Lite in the long run. Still, the occasional pick-up game might be nice to blow off some steam every now and then.
