Congrats BarCampers

BarCamp H-Town seemed to be a success. Marc Nathan of the Houston Technology Center phoned in to my show from the 2nd annual event and seemed stoked on a few dozen Red Bulls. Of course that is how technocrats roll.

Over 100 people attended the day-long event. The sessions went well. Who's ready for BCIII?

My boy McGuff the News Dog did a nice job of covering BarCamp with his unique yet wobbly video essay. I'll let him tell you more.

Note: Russell Holliman from Podcast Ready who appears in the story will be on my radio show this Saturday (1p-4p on The 9-5-0)

Saturday follow-up

Back in the saddle...Thanks to everyone for calling in with smart, intelligent questions like "how much fertilizer should I put on my lawn?" You sharpies may want to listen to my buddy Randy Lemmon on GardenLine.

Shout outs to Laurence Simon for hanging around the studio and bringing fresh-baked bread. See what happens when you bring the host some food? You get to co-host the show.

Steve Joyner gave us some ideas about home automation and media centers. Take a click to Houston Audio Video to contact him about designing, building and upgrading your home audio, video, lighting and security system.

Shot over the GRB after the show to do a little song-and-dance at the Houston Home Show. Everyone got HTT flashing logo pins and we sold cases of our smoking jalapenos and garlic. I'll be at The Woodlands H&G Show on September 8.

If you're hungry for food plus local technology information and networking, I will be the featured speaker at the NSTA luncheon this Thursday. 11:30am at Fox Sports Grill.

And for all you techies and wannabes don't forget next Saturday's BarCamp Houston. It's free and you'll meet and learn a lot of interesting tech schtuff. I'll pop by in the morning before my show.
