Speaking at Ignite Seattle August 3rd

leelefever — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 23:07:16 +0000

If you live near Seattle, you should come out to Ignite Seattle 7 on August 3rd at the King Cat Theater, 7-11pm. I'll be doing a talk that night called "Where Goldfish Come From." Ignite Seattle (like other Ignite events) is a night for speakers to present for 5 minutes using 20 slides that display for 15 seconds each. It's similar to the Pecha Kucha format. I'll be one of over 10 speakers that night.

You might ask - goldfish? Why goldfish? Well, goldfish happen to be a very important part of my life. Here's a quick description from the Ignite website:

Everyone knows goldfish and koi, but very few have ever thought about where they come from – how they are bred, raised, transported, etc. I know these things like the back of my hand. Since 1968, my family in North Carolina has owned and operated one of the largest fish hatcheries in the US. Blue Ridge Fish Hatchery raises and sells goldfish and Koi – millions of fish a year.

I hope we'll see you at Ignite!

BarCamp Seattle is this Weekend! (June 13th & 14th)

leelefever — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 23:37:00 +0000

If you live in or near Seattle, try to make it BarCamp Seattle this weekend. Common Craft is a sponsor - I'll see you there.

What's BarCamp? I suppose you want an explanation in Plain English? I'll try, but here's the Wikipedia page.

People have gotten tired of the normal conference format. Speakers on a stage, everyone else quiet. Everyone knows the best stuff happens over lunch or in the hallways. BarCamp is an event that happens in cities around the world that offers a different, more open and free flowing take on conferences - known as an unconference. People (often geeks, entrepreneurs, artists, etc.) come together for 2 days. During that time, participants volunteer to contribute in some way. Often these are workshops, talks, demos, discussions, etc. BarCamp is all about having fun and doing what feels right.

Here are the details:

Sat Jun 13, 10am-5pm.
Sun Jun 14 10am-1pm.
