    Attended my first (as well as DC’s first) BarCamp. It was an awesome experience. Not only did I learn a lot, but I met a great crowd of people. It was fascinating to discover a small but thriving community of similar web-heads, and would kill to do the things some of them do. Who knows,…

    After finally coming out of my post-grad shell and seeing what’s out there in the working world, I found out about, and subsequently signed registered for, Barcamp DC. Barcamps are un-conferences, a concept where, instead of attendees shelling out a ton of cash to listen to a few highly paid people at a conference organized…

    When I was on a technology and entrepreneurship-geared trip to Israel in late 2005, I was struck by one thing in particular.

    Facebook Platform is awesome. Late one night, a couple months ago, my girlfriend and her best friend called me up with an idea for a Facebook application (this was just after the Facebook platform, a way for people to make mini-sites that live within Facebook and are used/shared by people with Facebook accounts). I initially…

    Living here for six years, I had never seen any kind of entrepreneurial community. After graduating, I kept up that assumption. And wow. I was so wrong. So very wrong. So unbelievably wrong. I’m an idiot. Too bad I found out about this too late so I’m on the waiting list, and for this I’ll…

    Search Engine Optimization has become one of the more recent hot topics in the web world, based around how high up a site appears in search results (namely Google). A lot of companies will pay insane amounts of money to make sure they show up. I believe that it’s best to leave it to organic…
