BarCampMadison is happening right now. So far I’ve met a lot of cool people, lead a session, participated in sessions, ate some noodles and pizza, and built a thermonuclear device. Ok, so we didn’t build a thermonuclear device. Yet.

We also gearing up for Wii Fight Midwest happening later tonight, and since we have access to a pool, we’re hoping an aqua-hacking session of some sort takes place.

Not much on technorati now, but Flickr is seeing some good action…

As you probably know (since I tend to go on about these things…) BarCampMadison is tomorrow. Wait, it’s after midnight, so it’s today… in less than 10 hours, which means I have to leave for Madison in about 7 hours. Which means I can still get 6 hours sleep. Good night campers, see you tomorrow…

Yeah, that’s fishing, not phishing! I thought I had seem some odd BarCamp sessions before, but at BarCampMadison, someone has one titled Fishing (NOT PHISHING): A Geeks Hobby. Hey, this is Wisconsin after all…

Here’s a brief description:

71% of the earths surface is water and in that water there are fish for that catching. My goal with this session is to introduce some of my fellow geeks to hobby I find extremely enjoyable, that gets me outdoors, and doesn’t lack for technology.

Honestly, that doesn’t sound like your typical BarCamp session…

(Oh, on a somewhat related/unrelated note, a big thanks should go out to Chad Dickerson of Yahoo! for helping out with the sponsoring of BarCampMadison.)

Ok, with less than two weeks to go before BarCampMadison, I think we’re really on a roll.

As of my posting this, we’ve got 99 people signed up (I’m sure this will break 100 shortly) and 39 sessions planned.

Some of the interesting topics: Drupal – Intro, Development, Bootstrap your site; How To Burn Your Business Into The Ground – Lessons in Entrepreneurship; How to get Angel and VC funding for my new venture?; Cyberpunk Philosophy.

It’s not all heavy lifting, there are also things like: Nintendo DS Meetup, a possible LAN party, and (if all goes well) Wii Fight Midwest!

If you haven’t signed up for BarCampMadison yet, do so now!

I worked up a flyer for BarCampMadison….

BarCampMadison Flyer #1

It is my belief that every BarCamp should have robots…
