BarCampMadison: Time Lapse Video

Time Lapse Bot was at BarCampMadison on August 28, 2010 and had a blast! He took over 2,700 pictures and then compiled this video for us to watch. You missed the event? See it happen in less than three minutes by watching the video.

BarCampMadison: My Vegan Girlfriend

While waiting for BarCampMadison3 to start we captured this conversation between myself and my vegan girlfriend. We had quite the talk about the farmer’s market, vitamins, religion, Morrissey, and of course, Veganism.

OK, this is actually a conversation between myself and Vegan Soundboard, an iPhone app that was being controlled by Matt Gauger. We recorded it on the Zoom H2 Handy Portable Stereo Recorder.

I ended up using Convo Droid to record a number of sessions at BarCampMadison3, but I figured I’d get this out first, as it was actually recorded before the official start of the event. Also, it’s funny.

Vegan Soundboard

You’ll probably love this so much you’ll want to download an MP3. (And for our freedom loving friends, enjoy an Ogg file.)

Also, if you want to get all of the audio automagically downloaded podcasting style, subscribe to the feed. I’ll add in the BarCamp sessions as I get them edited and published.

BarCampMadison Wrap-up #2

At BarCampMadison there were too many good sessions. Too many! It was often hard to choose what to take part in. I suppose that’s a good thing…?

Blake Hall‘s session Drupal – Intro, Development, Bootstrap your site seemed way to short. Drupal is quite a system, and he expressed concern about what and how much to cover in just an hour. More Drupal! As I’ve mentioned, I’m interested in getting together a group of Drupal folks sometime this year, maybe as a DrupalCamp, in the Milwaukee(ish?) area. Depending on how many people we’d have, I think I may already have a space for it. (Of course we could use a sponsor or two!)

Christian Wilcox‘s session Repurposing web data was another good one that could have gone longer. This could have expanded into a couple hours of working on code after the session. Of course, there was so much to do at BarCamp, it would have meant missing out on other things. :(

Again, perhaps holding some sort of mashpit fully separate from BarCamp may solve the problem of people wanting to flex their code muscles and expand on the ideas they have.

As usual, BarCamp’s help get the creative thoughts rolling, now it’s just a matter of applying them.

We Must Adapt

Just a note for any one toting around an Apple laptop, be it an old iBook or a new MacBook: Get a video adapter!

More than a few times in the last year I’ve seen someone show up with an Apple laptop, and then look at the VGA connector on a projector, and have an “oh shit” moment where they realize things won’t plug into other things.

Even before my (pre-owned) iBook arrived, I had tracked down the needed VGA and s-video/composite video adapters on ebay. (I got both for under $20.)

I tend to carry my adapters around with me, and even offered one up at BarCampMadison to someone. Of course Apple in it’s infinite wisdom likes to change things each year, so my adapter didn’t work. (I ended up just letting the presenter use my iBook, though I warned him if it wasn’t interesting, I’d take my iBook and leave.)

For the modern folks, it looks like the Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter is pretty cheap, around $20. That should work for the MacBook and 12-inch PowerBook G4. If you have some other model, track down what adapter is used and order it today so you’re ready for the next user group meeting or BarCamp presentation.
