New Media ‘Think and Drink’ at Red Light, Red Light Saturday Jan 5th at 5:30pm

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.

I Guess I’m Middle Brained

Twirling GirlWow this images is really screwing with my sense of reason. OK so basically if you see the dancer in the image rotating clockwise than you are a right brain kid. Counter-clockwise just the opposite - you’re a lefty.

Here’s the rub she dances both ways for me. If I look at her she dances counter clockwise, but if i read other text on the screen she dances clockwise. Suffice it so that my brain is really wigging out. Please comment as to how you see the image. This is important for my sanity.

I find that I can focus my thoughts and change the way she twirls. What the hell!!!!! If all else fails move closer to the image and you can notice her change directions. Please someone explain this to me. Hopefully Snopes has something on this. Am I loosing my mind?
