BarCampMilwaukee2 Moves Forward

Shirt

As of this week we have a month until BarCampMilwaukee2 happens, and things are pretty much on schedule. There is one big change of note though, it will not be held at Bucketworks.

Bucketworks moved into their new home just a few months ago, and they still aren’t settled. While it would have been a great venue for the event, we just couldn’t make it happen in time. A lot of people pitched in to help get Bucketworks ready, and I personally appreciate all of the effort, and hope people don’t feel it was wasted. The concept of Bucketworks (a physical wiki) is a great one, and Bucketworks will continue, we just can’t pull off having BarCampMilwaukee2 there.

That said, Bucketworks is still our venue sponsor and did find a new location! There are some photos and a video of the space, and we’ll have more details when they are available.

So it is happening, there is no doubt about that. We just moved it. Just like those people who move your cheese. Sort of.

So if you are interested in attending BarCampMilwaukee2 on Oct 13/14, 2007, please sign up on the site. I look forward to seeing you there. Oh, and sign up sooner rather than later, because it will help with capacity planning, and help to ensure that you get a shirt, and some food to eat. (And if you have money, we’d like it even more if you went to the donation page. :)

Milwaukee Sequential Numbers

2
People do all sorts of wacky things on Flickr, like taking photos in a certain area of numbers in sequential order…

Local Flickr user Czeltic Girl started a group called Milwaukee Sequential Numbers, which attempts to do just that (within Milwaukee County.) Taking a cue from the NYC Sequential Numbers gang, we plan to replicate that here in our own fair city.

I was lucky enough to get the number 2 spot, because, you know, I’m the sort of weirdo who already had photos of numbers in my stream.

Hmmm, maybe I should start a set containing sequential numbers of my own… :)

Biking to Work (Again…)

Well I managed to bike to work again. (I did it a few months back.) This time it was a 7.28 mile ride, which was slightly shorter due to taking a different route. I saw my lowest speed about 5 MPH and my top speed was 23.8 MPH. It took 42 minutes and my overall average speed was 10.2 MPH. I didn’t make any stops but I did end up walking up part of a particularly nasty hill.

The most embarrassing part was when a guy who was probably 10 years my senior passed me on his bike like I was standing still. I was probably going close to 12 MPH and he whizzed passed me. He did have a racing-type bike and the whole serious biker outfit, so I didn’t feel quite so bad. As usual, I didn’t bike home. The wife came to pick me up with the Honda and the bike rack at 9PM.

We also hit the Bugline Trail over the weekend. We took the kids, so we only went about 6 miles, but it’s a nice trail. There is a reason it’s called the “Bugline” though. We got completely bitten up by mosquitoes. We’d like to take this one again when it’s cooler out.

As long as we’re talking about biking, the Milwaukee County Zoo is holding it’s “Ride on the Wild Side” Family Bike Ride on September 16th, 2007. We might do this ride, depending on how busy it is that weekend.
