BarCampOrlandoLogo As one of the proud sponsors of Orlando’s first Bar Camp, I was stoked to find Wes Smiths write up of the event in the Orlando Sentinel.

…later this month, 250 members of Central Florida’s nerd herd will convene en masse at a College Park restaurant for BarCamp Orlando. It will mark the first local gathering in a global wave of freewheeling jam sessions created to encourage interaction and innovation among often-isolated masters of the Internet.

Thanks for getting the word out Wes. Look forward to the new ideas, new friends and a whole new future for Orlando’s digital minions.

Twitter Blocks Ok so I’m not quite sure how to explain what the hell this Twitter app does, but I like it. Twitter Blocks essentially is a 3 dimensional visualization of your twitter follwerers and followees. It reminds me of the 80’s video game Marble Madness. By checking out Twitter Blocks I found JoeyPrimiani now I don’t know who the hell this guy is but he’s from Orlando and that’s cool and someone I follow is following him on Twitter and that’s cool too. So maybe you’ll find someone cool to follow so check it out.

napsI discovered 20MinuteNap.com recently. They serve up a different mix of nappable music everyday. Hop over to the site, turn up the speakers and press play. 20MinuteNaps will lead you into a Power Nap state without letting you drop into a deeper sleep that might leave you groggy.

I’m loving the mix of music. I’ve already discovered a couple of new bands and been reminded of some old favorites. I could see this becoming a welcomed part of my daily routine. Now if I could just stop paying attention to the new music I’m discovering long enough to take a real nap. Well you’ll have to see for yourself Give it a try.
