the lower cased one is just kicking butt these days. Now that it is official, I'll blog it. I was hoping that he'd have a post out already, but I'm not waiting. He was Scobleized about his application here even before the PDC results.
/cameraFlow Labyrinth was named one of two winners for the Coding my Way to PDC contest. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE LOWER CASED ONE. I'll hold down the fort back at work here while you are doing your thing out in L.A. But I'm gonna need some pictures . . .
Details were officially released earlier today. I remember the day he came up to me and mentioned that he would write this app back in 1998. Seriously, I don't remember the exact date, but I remember the conversation and it was less than 30 days from the contest deadline. The legend just gets bigger.
I just got back from a double-secret, ultra-sensitive geek-o-rama. Hosted by Scott Isaacs and his lovely and talented wife Kelly ("Her Royal Highness of the Order of the Geek"), this backyard cookout was a great get-together. Geeks, spouses and their children all gathered at an undisclosed location in Waukesha, WI for some summer fun. Good food, good conversation and fun playtime (for the kids) was the prescription of the day. Comfortable weather in the 80s with sunshine made this a perfect outing. My hat is off to Scott and Kelly for the great time. Thank you both.
More congregations of nerdiosity and geekology may be had at the Aug/Sep Milwaukee Nerd Dinner (as always, with 33% more nerd). As The Agile Developer is off in far-away lands (OK, someplace in upstate NY, but NOT doing time in the prison system), Dan Bartels has put together this little meeting for drinks, food and of course, .NET Geekery. Show up, make a pig of yourself, talk some .NET with some of the locals and just have a great time. Unlike the recent INETA meeting, where my buddy, Travis Feirtag spoke on C++, I promise that my brother will not be in town, so I will show up at this event. I should be easy to spot. I'll be wearing Green Bay Packer's Green and Gold Face paint and a rainbow wig. That and you'll find me in some corner using a TabletPC and mesmerized by this award-winning software.
