BarCamp rocked (and the AIMIAs was ok too)
Being the social butterfly that I am, I did two social events this weekend that contrasted significantly.
Friday night was the AIMIA awards – red carpets, cocktail dress and uppity trendy types. Very groovy and very not geek. None the less, it was a decent event.
Today I went to BarCamp. I’ve been talking about BarCamp for a while and it exceeded expectations.
It turned out to be a very cool gathering of tech geeks from all walks who just wanted to share in the goodness of geekdome. There was an awesome vibe of openness and I think everyone felt the same.
Check out this guy for proof.
Can’t wait for BarCamp Sydney 2!

And finally, my buddy Nick (have we hit “buddy” stage Nick?) has some links to videos he shot on the day.

Hey Michael,
It was really great to meet you and hey, if you had have made it to Webjam, we would have both been at the same three events that week!
Barcamp was a stack of really good preso’s and a lot of cool chats, apparently geeks *are* hot LOL :)
