WordPress 101

BarCampKC is scheduled for May 9th and 10th in Overland Park, KS.

BarCamp is an international network of user generated conferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants — often focusing on early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies, social protocols, and open data formats.

Unlike other BarCamps, BarCampKC will have no actual camping out and all the sessions will be planned the night of the 9th during the meet and greet time.

If you are in the KC area, or want to come even if you aren’t, check out the BarCampKC page or the blog and put your name on the Wiki.

I will be running the audio equipment to record as well as live stream the audio for the Alternageek Tech Show either through TalkShoe or BlogTalkRadio. The links and stream will also be available the day of the event at Alternageek.com

Free Reusable Shopping Bags

I know, this has nothing to do with gadgets or computers but many supporters and pro-open source users are especially fond of ways to be green and I am certainly one of them. On those grounds I wanted to make sure that you stop by Wal-Mart on April 19, 2008 starting at 8am local time and pick up your free reusable shopping bag. Wal-Mart is giving away one million reusable bags as part of Earth Month. I have a love hate relationship with Wal-Mart but giving away reusable shopping bags earned this PSA.
