I’m getting ready to go on a big ol’ trip to Egypt, as most of my friends know. And, well, I have a confession to make: I love lists. They’re the only kind of organization I really ever use or need. My lists, they take care of me. Shot lists and set lists and tasks that need to be done. There is one kind of list that is nearer and dearer to me than any other though: The Packing List.
I know I’m way behind, so sue me. I don’t know, I’ve been kinda depressed. Luckily, I seem to be doing better right now. It’s 4:15 in the morning and I feel fine.
Went to this three(four?) weeks ago, and it was actually a pretty good time. The talks were a little on the basic side, I think because a lot of the heavy hitters in the OKC tech scene were absent (I’m looking at you, Grant). I gave three talks, and in one, it turned out my audience knew more about the subject than I did, so I got to learn some things.
The same day as barcamp (man, I was tired when I started that day, and near dead by the end), I went to my first banked-track roller derby match, between the Red Dirt Rebellion, and some team from florida. RDR lost, but it was fun to watch and take photos of, anyway. The long lens shots were with my trusty 500mm mirror lens. Manually focused pictures of fast movement at slow shutter speeds. That’s why I make the big bucks (somebody hire me please?).
