Time Lapse Bot
Behold… Time Lapse Bot!
No, this is not a wikibot… it’s the Time Lapse Bot, built out of old, recycled material, it is capable of doing time lapse captures using a sophisticated Apple iMac Computer, with an XLR8 InterView USB Video Capture Device connected to an old JVC Video Camera sitting on an old chair base which allows it to easily wheel around (within the length of the power cord.)
I actually spent $0 putting this all together, if you don’t count the fact that I paid about $499 for the video camera 10+ years ago, and $99 for the InterView back in 2005. Pretty much everything else was somehow attained for close to nothing. I could add wifi to this thing if I had a USB hub lying around, which might make it just little bit more neat-o, but hey, It’s a work in progress…
I’ve been testing it a bit this weekend, but the real test will come at BarCampMilwaukee4.

BarCampMilwaukee4 Shirt Concepts
Our old E-Pal HeyGabe got appointed the T-shirt Czar, and with that he put out the call for t-shirt designs, and I have heeded the call, and the results are below.
This is a number 4 blasting off into space by the power of BarCamp!
This is a robot based on an original drawing by Madeline Prodoehl. People seem to like robots.
Keep in mind, HeyGabe is the T-shirt Czar, which, I believe, means that he has the power to choose what shirt design is selected. I mean, maybe you can influence him, but don’t quote me on that.
(Thanks to Shannon Palmer for providing a Creative Commons licensed t-shirt template for use in these mock-ups.)

BarCampMilwaukee4 is happening!
Mark your calendars… October 3/4, 2009 at the Chase Commerce Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Venue sponsor Bucketworks has worked with Mike Doro to secure us space for the event.
The web site will be up soon at barcampmilwaukee.org, thanks to Jeramey. (And a special thanks to Distance Software for hosting the web site.)
Our E-Pal Gabe from Web414 is working on the t-shirts (don’t worry, not the design, just the logistics!)
Ashe and I are getting some sponsors… and doing that general “organizing” thing.
Sponsors? So far we’ve got Microsoft, Hentzenwerke Publishing, MyMilwaukee.com, and Fresh Coast Ventures offering to help out. (And yes, we could use a few more!)
And you? Well, we hope you’ll be there to make it happen with us.
