Going Feral
While reading Jori Finkel’s piece in the New York Times on Machine Project’s LACMA invasion, I was struck by something that Margaret Wertheim said: I don’t know of any city other than L.A. with so many feral groups. Now while she was referring to the Los Angeles art scene, this sort of applies to the tech scene here as well.…

BarCampLA 4 Ahoy!
If it’s seemed a little quiet around here, it’s because I’ve been helping plan the latest installment of BarCamp in Los Angeles along with Crystal. A lot of hard work has gone into getting this off the ground and I’d love it if y’all could come check it out. If you know me, you probably…

Experimental Jet Set
For somebody who spends most of his free time jockeying a laptop, I’ve actually got a semi-busy social week ahead of me: Tomorrow night is April’s BarCamp LA Geek Dinner at Shakey’s in Hollywood. While I’m not so much of a fan of Shakey’s grub, I’m really looking forward to hanging out with the BarCampers…

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…

Sick
Sore joints. Stuffy head. Tired. Bloodshot eyes. Yep, I’m straight up sick… Of course this means that I’m not making it to El Cholo tonight. Sorry BarCampers! I’ll catch you next month, I guess.

BarCamp LA, The Weblog
The BarCamp wiki is great for coordinating planning and all, but I’ve got a theory that we can spread the word on BarCamp LA related events (monthly dinners, future BarCamps, etc.) better with a proper weblog. Check it out if you’ve got a second! P.S. If you’re free the weekend of November 11th & 12th,…

OPMLosAngeles
So I was just thinking — it wouldn’t be an altogether horrible idea to get together an OPML or XOXO list of the BarCamp Los Angeles crew’s blogs, would it? If someone wants to work with me on getting this done, let me know!

Geek, It’s What’s For Dinner
Just a quick note for all of you LA BarCampers who didn’t migrate themselves over to the Google Group… Plan to be in the Hollywood area the evening of April 18th, sometime around 8pm. Heather is trying get a Geek Dinner together. If you’re interested in joining us, please go RSVP. P.S. Does anyone else…

Overwhelming
What with losing my job, putting in my resume at a dozen places, driving 120 miles, watching “Dave Chappelle’s Block Party”, spending 3 hours trying to check into a series of hotels in Bakersfield, meeting my amazing new girlfriend‘s lovely parents, going to the deadliest mall in Southern California, driving another 100 miles, talking with…

Choices
Man, I need to figure out how to pull off doing both Lebowski Fest West and BarCamp LA. In fact, I almost feel like Jack Tripper did when he had a date with two hot girls on the same night. And while I know that was pretty much every other episode of Three’s Company, I’m…
