On October 14, I'll be giving an extended version of my July 21st Perl Mongers s/2 years/5 minutes/ of Photography lightning talk for Strange Loop's Strange Passions track. Alex tells me we'll be getting our hands on video thanks to the lovely InfoQ, so I'll have that and slides posted as soon as it comes my way.
Be sure to also check out Matt Follett's Perl 6 Talk, which he'll also be giving at Strange Loop.
Dr. Kevin Scannell and I will be giving a talk on November 10th to the Math/CS Club, starting around 4pm, to discuss Accentuate.us, a new system allowing you to type quickly and easily in over 100 languages. Video is not yet confirmed, but I'm looking into it.
Yesterday I made my first attendance at the St. Louis Perl Mongers, and boy, what a great group! The meeting space, graciously provided by Announce Media, was nothing short of gorgeous, the Jimmy Johns food sponsored by Cofactor Genomics was easily classified as "yummy!," and the people attending were amazingly nice. I can say without a doubt that the talks mirrored the awesomeness of the group. I won't bother trying to highlight my favourites because I genuinely found something that I liked in and learned from each.
This lightning talk session made for the first talk I've ever given. Titled s/2 Years/5 Minutes/ of Photography: A Lightning Talk about Photography by Michael Schade, I discussed what I've learned over my past two years of photography and some of my beliefs. You can check it out on YouTube below, with each audio segment synchronized to its respective slide (we don't have video of this session, unfortunately).
Now that you know about the existence of such a cool group, I bet you are wanting to attend the next session. Am I right? Yep, I knew I was, so I'll go ahead and spill the details:
When Wednesday, August 18, 2010 at 6:30 PM (the third Wednesday of each month)
Where Announce Media
6665 Delmar Blvd
St. Louis, MO 63130-4544
I'm looking forward to the next session and being able to meet up with these guys and gals again. I can say without hesitation that it was a pleasure making their acquaintance.
