My son wrote this completely in his head while we were shopping in Stop & Shop yesterday after Podcamp. I heard him humming it and mumbling lyrics while we were walking through the isles. When we got home he immediately started playing the complete song. I heard him in the basement so I went down and asked him to play it again. I recorded this is with my phone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRjfdGTSyjs
NEW HAVEN, CT – October 12, 2010. The first PodCamp CT will take place Saturday, October 16, 2010, from 8AM to 5PM, at the Cooperative Arts & Humanities Magnet School in downtown New Haven and will bring the nationally-known PodCamp event to the state for the first time. Tickets are open to anyone and are $25 for the one-day event and can be purchased online: http://podcampct.org.
PodCamp CT is the one-day “unconference” that brings social media technology enthusiasts from all walks of life together to share ideas and make new connections. For the Connecticut event, the theme is “Connecting Where We Live, Learn, Work and Play.” The organizers are enticing those beyond the inner circle of social media to get fresh voices discussing the phenomenon.
"Podcamp is finally debuting in Connecticut and we’re looking to bring together leaders in business, politics, nonprofit, education, technology, the arts, and more - all on equal footing. The goal is 100 percent focus on having progressive conversations and making new connections about all things CT and the social web,” said Andre Yap, CFO and Founder, Ripple 100, and Co-Organizer of PodCamp CT.
“This event is not just for geeks. We need a mix of seasoned users and those just starting out. Boston, New York and the West coast may be considered the hot spots for social media but not anymore. Connecticut is right on their tails,” said Joe Cascio, a self-employed software engineering consultant and PodCamp CT Co-Organizer.
The event is unusual because it takes an “unconference” approach, by not permitting sales pitches or speakers. The content of the conference is created by the attendees who share experience and expertise and raise questions for others to help solve.
Watch us climb through a hole in the wall to then squish oranges on the floor while someone types on an old fashioned typewriter in the corner. Gotta see it to believe it! http://qik.ly/C3jKU
Looking back on this WTNH news piece the #getitdone crew did with Chris Velardi, it's hard to believe what has transpired in the last week! 30 sessions in 7 days. Bringing hundreds of people together. I was lucky to be at the anchor events each night and I was repeatedly blown away by the amazing people I met, the great conversations and idea sharing that happened. We all have a common goal of wanting to make the world a better place starting right in our back yard.
As I said in my interview: "The whole is greater than the sum of it's parts." has really proven itself to be true. Social Web Week has transformed energy into action and changed virtual to reality.
I wanted to post an Email that Andre Yap from Www.ripple100.com sent the Social Web Week Group this morning. He sums up my thoughts exactly. I am so excited that the #getitdone crew has been able to harness the energy that was formed from the GoogleHaven movement to make this world a better place. I have been blessed to meet each and every one of you.
"Many of us have known each other from the GoogleHaven days, and as we said then, the process is its own reward.
Social Web Week CT is proof of that. Look at how much we can look forward to in OUR SOCIAL WEB. When it comes to us, I have stopped using THE, and instead refer to it as OUR social web - our connections, our conversations, our collaborations, our community, all the mighty things we're getting done in days that would have taken years. It's clear to me now that social media and technologies are only as good as what we, the community, do with them.
So, big congratulations to all of us for being part of this, Our Social Web Week CT.". - Andre Yap @andreayap
