New Media Brew-ha-ha!

This Saturday 5:30 at Red Light Red Light in Winter Park (map) we’re having a casual gathering of local new media mavens. Basically it’s a happy hour or what I like to call a ‘think and drink’ for anyone who likes to play with digital media and the web.

PodCamp LogoThe goal of the meeting is to catch up with friends, both new and old, share a pint and discuss the possibility of hosting a new media / digital media conference this year in O-town.

There are a lot of us creating and digesting digital media content in Central Florida and it would be so cool to bring everyone together for a BarCamp like event that gives us the chance to shoot the digital breeze and see what new and innovative things the community is up to. Mark and Ryan have mentioned that the popular PodCamp conference focuses on the New Media Community so we can discuss whether that format best serves the community.

So if you Digg new media and want to StumbleUpon a tasty new beer come by Red Light this Saturday at 5:30 and join the discussion.

Cheers.

P.S. Ryan just set up an Upcoming Event Info and RSVP page - You don’t have to RSVP but if you want to or need more info check it out.

iPhone App I Love - Scenario Texas Holdem Poker

Scenario Pocker iPhoneIn response / comment to Erik Hersman’s excellent guest post about iPhone Apps over at iPhoneMinds.com I’d like to add the truly incredible and dare I say beautifully designed Scenario Pocker for the iPhone.

I really love this App. Works equally well on WiFi or on Edge and if you enjoy playing Texas Holdem you’re going to love playing this standing in line, driving on I-4 and during boring classes. Anyhow thought I’d chime in to say thanks Erik for a nice post and point out a new app to ya if it hadn’t crossed your path yet.

One thing I like about it over other iPhone web Apps is the speed with which you can play. I’ve noticed that Bejewelled has lost some luster for me since the touch response is a little slow due to the web nature of the game. Scenario Poker avoids this somehow even on Edge. Ok enough - obviously I love this app.
