Went to BarCamo in Austin this weekend. It ws a pretty cool event and I was thre pretty much from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

If you've never herd of BarCamp, it's basically what is called an un-conference. It;s like a conference, but not as formal and let's the people there choose what will be presented.

I got to hear about a lot of cool stuff from Quipit to Clip Marks and met some cool people along the way.

At one point, a rep from Microsoft opened up a $1,000 beer tab for everyone, although I had to waste it on Sprite. The same guy also gave everyone that was there early a licensed copy of Microsoft's new Expression Studio, which is supposed to compete with Macromedia's (now Adobe) studio.

Anyway, I also got a chance to spread the word about an unconference I'm planning called PodCamp San Antonio.

It'll be on May 19, and if anyone is remotely interested in podcasting or wants to learn more, you can learn more by visiting podcamp.org.
