Not Dead, Just Delayed
My blogging has gone south as I work to meet deadlines for projects that result in paychecks. Go figure.
And somewhere, in all of this, is the fanfare you HAVEN'T heard yet about the majesty that is (or will be) BootCamp Pittsburgh! NOW only TWO WEEKS AWAY!
(I knew there was a reason we aimed for late April -- it's because anything earlier would have been ludicrous, given how much else everyone else who's planning it also has to do at their "real jobs.")
BootCamp is like the training-wheels version of PodCamp, which means we actually need to put even more thought into the structure of the event than we did for PodCamp Pittsburgh last November. That event essentially drove itself. This time, we're the ones directing everyone else, shepherding people toward their own specific "track" of information -- Intro to Blogging, Intro to PodCasting, Intro to Social Networking, etc.
Our goal is to ensure that everyone who wants to learn something leaves the event feeling like they've accomplished what they set out to do, and then some.
Oh, and it's free to attend.
And now, if you'll excuse me, we (and, in most cases, I) have exactly two weeks to pull off what's going to end up being one of the most amazing events of the year for a lot of people. The team is ready. The flags are up.
All we need now are some energy drinks and an emergency futon to curl up on during emergency naps...

Maybe we can harness the power of local geeks this evening. Or at least drink in a sacrilegious setting until we stop worrying about our rapidly approaching deadlines.
