WordCamp Ed – The Very First Edition
Since meeting Dave Lester in the not-so-recently held WordCamp New York, I had been eagerly looking forward to participating in WordCamp Ed – organized by the fine folks at Center for History and New Media [@ George Mason University] and supported by kind-hearted sponsors. Though the thought of not attending did cross my mind several times [gas prices, driving distances, etc.], the pleasure of having a day to spend in an academic setting with like-minded & passionate geeks/educators was a bit too much to overcome, and as such, I am very glad to have made the trip 🙂
(Word)Camping in New York City
Considering the fact that I have been using / playing with / hacking this beautiful piece of Open Source Software called WordPress for as long as I have been, it did surprise me quite a bit that it took me so long to attend my first WordCamp. Then again, I shouldn’t be that surprised – geographical remoteness of Paradise played its part to some extent. Having gotten into the city a day earlier, I had the opportunity to (eat &) walk around in parts of it (that I had never seen before – including Central Park) with a new found friend (and a long time citizen of Packers nation). Much of the evening (and night and early hours of Sunday) was spent hanging out with some friends that I have known for a looooong time and some that I got to know hours earlier.
