I can’t begin to tell you how much fun I have had this year being part of WordCamp events. I’ve attended 2 (Denver, San Francisco), organized 2 (Las Vegas in January, Las Vegas as part of BlogWorld in October) and have spoken at 3 others (Reno, Los Angeles, Portland). I thought that was it for…
I have lived in Las Vegas for the past 7 years and I have said on many occasions since then that I don’t think I could live anywhere else after living there. One weekend trip to Portland later and I believe I may have to amend that statement. In a word, Portland is awesome! This…
This year I have been extremely lucky to have been a part of some amazing conferences. After organizing WordCamp:Las Vegas in January, I had the pleasure attending two more excellent WordCamp events in Denver and San Francisco. To top it off, the amazing people behind WordCamp:Reno-Tahoe saw fit to invite me out to be a…
Last night on the Blog World Expo website they announced that WordCamp Las Vegas would be part of the Expo this year. Based on some of the responses I read about the news today on Twitter, it became obvious that there was some misunderstanding with regards to how much it would cost to attend WordCamp…
I’ve done a bunch of writing about WordCamp events over the past few months. Likely due to the fact that I’ve organized one (Las Vegas), attended one (Denver), spoke at one (Reno-Tahoe) and am currently sitting on a plane heading to San Francisco to attend yet another. As if that’s not enough WordCamp for one…
This morning I woke up early and hopped on a plane from Vegas and landed in Reno around 8:30. We quickly made our way to our hotel to drop of some bags and have a quick bite to eat before heading over to the Reynolds School of Journalism on the UNR campus to attend WordCamp…
I’ve always thought it would be cool to write my own WordPress plugins. Plenty of times I’ve taken existing plugins and tweaked them here or there to do a slightly modified version of their original intent, but never have I started from scratch and created my own plugin. Until now, that is. Last week I…
This year has already been a very exciting year for me as it relates to WordCamp. In January I organized WordCamp:Las Vegas. In February I took a photo safari to Colorado to attend WordCamp Denver. And now, I’m very excited to announce that I’ll be speaking at the upcoming WordCamp Reno-Tahoe event! WordCamp Reno-Tahoe will…
I still need a day or two before I tackle the process of writing the wrap-up for WordCamp:Las Vegas. But, there are some smaller stories that I want to get on to “paper” before I forget the details. This is one of those stories… I checked in to Palace Station around 4PM on Friday. Finished…
“What a long strange trip it’s been”, sang The Grateful Dead. I can’t agree more. It started back in September. I got the idea to host a WordCamp since nobody else in Las Vegas had done it yet. My initial thought was that once I announced it, others would come to be clamoring for the…
