BarCamp Orlando One Week Away!
Posted by derekbender | Filed under Announcements, News

BarCamp is set to take over Wall St. in downtown Orlando next weekend. This time the community tech event will be spaced out over 2 days: April 5th, Dev Day and April 6th Media Day.
BarCampOrlando is a community building event which happens twice a year to brings together people from different backgrounds to share and learn from each other. There will be people who know Java, .NET, Ruby, PHP, and other technologies coming together for Dev Day, and there will be people who know film, music, photography, graphic design, podcasting, and even other new Media coming together for Media Day
I’m looking forward to the weekend. I’ll be attending both days where I’m sure I’ll hear some great talks. My company, NFi Studios, will be sponsoring the event along with the community’s top technology businesses. Check out the BarCamp Orlando website for more info.

One of my favorite films, The Royal Tenebaums, is also one of his films. So I was surprised when The Darjeeling Limited didn’t live up to my expectations. Read the rest of this entry »
