Our pal David at Korporate Media lovingly crafted this video highlighting BarCampMilwaukee2, and I have lovingly uploaded it to Ourmedia.

In the time since the first BarCampMilwaukee held in 2006, we’ve come a long way. The folks at Web414 have become a great force behind events like these. Web414 also helped sponsor BarCampMadison in 2007 and the recent DrupalCampWisconsin. Our next crazy idea is MilwaukeeDevHouse with MKEDH1 taking place March 14, 2008. (And hopefully BarCampMadison2 in April 2008.)

We’ve built quite the tech community here in Southeastern Wisconsin, and BarCamps in Milwaukee just keep getting better. People are sharing, learning, and making new friends along the way. Enjoy the video… and we hope to see you at the next big thing.

Matt Gauger has posted photos of his guitar gear before, so when I commented on one of his photos, he mentioned the RPM Challenge, which is to record an album in one month. I’m in…

I’ve been recording songs and publishing them online for about a year now, and there’s even a category for them called audio (and yes, you can subscribe to it.) All in all I’ve been playing and recording for over 20 years, but there have been gaps in that where I went many years without recording anything at all. This will be a nice “forced creativity” project for me.

I still need to install iLife ‘08 for the latest GarageBand, but I’ll also be using Logic Pro 8 and the recording studio at Z2.

Since my songs tend to be less than 2 minutes, I will estimate that I need to record about 20 songs during February. I plan to collaborate a bit with the kids, and… well, whoever else happens to be around when I’m recording. It should be interesting… :)
