Layover...er.. something
Well, I can't go for very long without seeing Christy, I miss her too much. I decided to take a mid continent stop. I just flew in this morning from San Fran and I leave tonight for NYC, but I get to hang out with Christy all day. Woo!
San Fran
I came to San Francisco this weekend for
BarCamp. And for some meetings. And to visit SXSW
buddies. But most importantly, to visit Justin. I love this city!!! Its totally geek heaven. I realized what a bad blogger I am. Everyone I meet here updates their blog like 6 times a day and uploads to Flickr hourly... I need to get on the ball.
BarCamp was amazing. About 200 folks coming together to share ideas and projects and geek out. Met some really cool people and ate and drank lots of free food. I will be organizing a BarCamp Denver very soon. Email me or leave a comment if you would like to help out.
Met with Jamie, the guy we are doing the
World Cup Ringtones with. We had never met in person before doing the deal but something about the phone calls felt very comfortable. We were right. This guy is super nice and has some great stuff going on.
Justin is living with his brother until he finds a place to live (probably with Jordan). I'm glad to see Justin loving the city. He seems to have really found a group of awesome people. It all really makes me want to move out here.
I am heading to NYC in a couple days. Woo!
MTV's Real World in Denver
From what I've heard from friends, having the Real World film in your city kind of sucks... Mobs of drunk folks following the cast and crew around...bars/clubs/restaurants being closed down so the realworlders can roll thru...
Obviously there is a plus side to having exposure to your home town...
Well, either way, they are here for the next 6 months or so, and
id345, never missing an opportunity to play around with some technology, created
Real World Spotting. The system is pretty sweet. You can text spottings into the system (303-875-5114) and they appear immediately on the site. They also come to my cell phone. I can then respond back to the system and verify the spotting. This adds a point on our google map and alerts all users to their current verified location. You can also send a "?" to our number and it will return the most recent verified place.
I encourage you to try it out...do what you will with the info, get on TV, flip off the camera, hit on the cast members, etc :)
