I can't believe that we had another bar camp. It seems like just a few months ago that I was at my first bar camp.  Wait that was just a couple of months ago, and now I was one of the organizers. It is good to see the community in action. I love to hear random thoughts of from awesome speakers. One of my favorite presentations was that of digital life. This lecture was the idea of code self replicating to find a more efficient version of itself. It was almost as scary as it was interesting. I am still a little scared by thought. Here are some pic from that lecture.

I also got to present.  A chance for me to spread the good word of Virtual Earth and windows live.

If you haven't come to a BarCamp you should go. Feel to email me about ways to find out how.

What a awesome event. I am never seized to be amazed at how great the microsoft events are. Their marketing department are truly top knoch.  Most of the general sessions were just that pretty general, but what they did for the early adopter was open up a bunch of chalk board sessions where all the program directors were there really drilling into the metal. It was awesome.  here are some pics of the event. Dont miss it if you have a chance to go in your town.

Some Pics of the keynote

and of course the after party.....

Hey all,

Just attended the Microsoft Public Sector Developer Conference. It was really good. I guess since I have been using 2008 since beta bits came out I had stopped realizing all the great functionality that came out of it. The begging of the day is pretty power point intensive and not really great at showing the goods, but informative non the less. The following demos were really good. Marc does a great job of making the hard look easy. It has to be grueling to deal with a bunch of devs for that long. But he continued to put on a great show even even with the normal demo failures with ease. Great job.

It never seems to amaze me how much great free training Microsoft give out. It really keeps my interest peaked.

Great job team! A Pic of Marc Schweigert Taking the time to give the heads up to a dev. The team was great at answering question before during and after the event. You cant beat the price FREE!
