Out And Back Southern Utah
Gina and I had to pick up our Daughter from college today. We made a few detours along the way. It was nice to get out after a crappy previous few days.[pe2-gallery album="http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/base/user/117805269367460608808/albumid/6009739274202595281?alt=rss&hl=en_US&kind=photo"...

Late Night Salt Lake City Photowalk
Gina and I went out for a really late night photowalk. It was more like a photo drive. Wanted to get something from the Salt Lake City skyline, but didn't really know where to go. Stumbled upon this area above Memory Grove park. Seemed as good as it was going to get.[pe2-gallery album="http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/base/user/117805269367460608808/albumid/6007844124458546561?alt=rss&hl=en_US&kind=photo" ]&nbs...

Salt Lake Comic Con 2013
Comic Con in Salt Lake City was certainly a success for sponsors and more or less for fans. The mother of Comic Cons in San Diego California had approximately 130,000 attendees, and Salt Lake, a first year con, had nearly 80,000 attendees on the final day. By noon on Saturday, the fire marshal threatened to shut the Salt Palace down because of potential...

54 Hour Startup Weekend Ogden
I attended Startup Weekend in Ogden Utah November 1st-3rd, 2012. Check out the website, it's a very cool global meet-up.
I've read for years about small groups building products over a weekend, getting some recognition, and some even getting funding to push the product further. I had a hard time believing they had a product worth investing. And...

Check out the website, it's a very cool global meet-up.I've read for years about small groups building products over a weekend, getting some recognition, and some even getting funding to push the product further.

What I experienced at my first Startup Weekend was the complete opposite.OverviewStartup Weekend is like a tech conference with a rocket...

Utah Open Source Conference 2010 Wrap-Up
This year's Utah Open Source Conference was a great event. I'm still amazed this conference can pull off three days, but it some how does just that. I'll admit that on the third day, I'm pretty tired, and my brain is in information overload.
Clint Savage (@herlo) and crew have done an excellent job brining Open Source into the spotlight at least...

The Importance Of People Versus Technology
People are where it's at. Technology is just a vehicle.Today is April 1st. Typically people see today as the start of Spring. A time to renew. A time to access our plan for the year, and make some course corrections.PodCampSLC 2009 just wrapped up a few days ago. Having the opportunity to meet people I have only interacted with through technology was awesome. I think it is vitally important for people to meet face to face. You can't hide behind a screen. Venture out. Meet up. There are so many things going on out there, you...

WordCamp Utah 2008 Wrap Up

And there were plenty of people in attendance.I have to give thanks to Joseph Scott for pulling off such a great event.Here are some pictures I took at WordCamp. I'm using the NextGen Gallery plug-in instead of Flickr. While I use the gallery feature to store pictures, audio and video, I didn't use it to actually show a gallery of photos.After some struggle to get the gallery manager to...
