Last night (2006.07.25), I finally got my act together enough to attend another BarCamp (or TorCamp or DemoCamp), after having been to only one of them before and after having judged a DesignSlam (DemoBarTorDesignSlamCamp). A mere 45-minute ride on two streetcars delivered me somewhere in the kill zone of the venue, No Regrets at Mowat and Liberty in deepest Village Liberté.
By show of hands, one-third of attendees at this DemoCamp8 were first-timers. I saw fewer than ten wymmynz out of maybe 60 total. There was, as ever, a 15-minute time limit (unequivocally imposed by a buzzing clock) and a no-PowerPoint-or-anything-remotely-resembling-it rule. (“If you’re working in PHP6 and you want to write your own presentation language, go for it.” Apparently this was almost exactly what happened one time before, where a guy hacked vi to run his presentation, complete with graphics.) The last guy up, whom I’m not even going to name, used a Web page and gave a presentation, not a demo, totally busting the no-PowerPoint-manqués rule. (Someone loudly muttered “Shhh!” as I yelled that to him after his time was up. Let’s not appease the cheaters, people.)

If there’s a book vaguely related to Internet-related business staring at me at the library, I’ll borrow it. Or, in the other case below, I got it for free by buying a box of Clif Bars. [continue with: Two business books →]

My, what a busy month it’s been for Failed Redesigns. But before I explain how, let me address my still-numerous critics. [continue with: Unfailed Redesigns →]
