The Indy Code Camp is this Saturday, April 26th. I’ll post a recap once it’s done, but with 400 people registered and a lot of good sessions given by good speakers, it promises to be a good time.
I’ve put in a reservation with Champps for an after-party. We’ll be going Dutch, and would love to […]

The Indy Code Camp’s schedule was just published. If you were waiting to register until you could see what kind of content would be available, now is the time! We have 24 sessions with a wide range of topics. It should be a great day! I’m very pleased with the turn out of presenters and […]

Just a reminder that you have until Saturday, March 22nd to submit a session proposal for the Indy Code Camp before we make the final session schedule.
We’ve had a lot of good submissions already. This promises to be a good event full of great content. And don’t forget the door prizes!

Things are really coming together for the upcoming Indy Code Camp (April 26th). Something I’m very excited about, in addition to the great content by local presenters (we’ve had a bunch of really good session proposals submitted so far - submit one too), are the “door prizes” that we’re going to be giving away throughout […]

A while ago I mentioned a crazy idea about hosting an Indianapolis-based Code Camp. As I worked out that idea, I needed help. It turns out some others had been thinking about it too, and we joined efforts.
It’s my pleasure to announce that the Indy Code Camp is officially scheduled for Saturday, April 26th, 2008.
I’m […]

If you haven’t heard of it yet, just google “one laptop per child“. Or better yet, visit their website: laptop.org. The “XO” laptop is definitely a unique machine - check out some specs on the hardware, software, and interface. The software approach is admirable:
XO is built from free and open-source software. Our commitment to […]

I’m at Indy InstallFest 2007 right now - I’ve eaten some good food, had a few laughs with friends, installed VS2008 (thanks Microsoft for the free copy), and did my demo in front of the world. I demo’d creating a syndication service using a REST-based WCF service. I planned for about a 20 minute demo […]

I’m starting to take this crazy idea of an “Indy Code Camp” and slowly bring it into reality. But I can’t do it alone. I’m not asking people to make a huge commitment (that’ll be me), but rather I’m looking for people who can help in very specific ways, each of which is hopefully not […]

If you’re attending the Indy TechFest this year, you may have noticed that the schedule of sessions, as listed on the website, is hard to visualize (at best).

To help myself (and you) I copied the data into a spreadsheet that I can print off and bring with me. Just highlight the sessions you want to […]

I was reflecting recently on what I thought made up a healthy decision making process. I’m not a psychologist or anything, I just sometimes like to sit and think about weird stuff. Here are 3 components that I think should be equally employed when making a decision–none of this is new, it’s all […]
