A Work in Progress

November 16, 2008

As most of our friends know, Daphyn and I moved out of the NYC area and back to Harrisburg, PA last month in preparation for the little one on the way. We settled on a house right off of Mountain Road a few weeks back, and have been busy with painting, moving, and working with contractors on a variety of changes. Here’s a few pics I was able to take while moving items out of the storage area (below). It’s getting there . . .

The house's exterior.

My newly-painted office. Yup, it’s bright.

The dining room prior to painting and the installation of hardwood floors.

The floor in-progress. The floor is done as of this writing–next comes the priming.

BarCamp Harrisburg

Bar Camp Harrisburg

I’ve just posted the signup page for BarCamp Harrisburg, a proposed unconference for Web designers, developers, and Web enthusiasts in the Central PA area. Here’s what a BarCamp is, if you’re unfamiliar with the term. My simple definition: It’s a free, open-source conference on a specific topic where attendees participate to determine the topics and schedule.

I’ve attended quite a few of these in the NYC area (I’m heading up to MobileCampNYC3 this week) and have not only had great learning experiences, but have found these events to be wonderful networking opportunities as well.

We (Dave, Dan, and I) have spoken with a few possible venues in the Harrisburg area, but have concluded that a more definitive attendee list will help with venue and budget decisions. If you’re interested in creating or contributing to the Web and are in the Central PA area, definitely sign up.
