BarCamp

I'm at BarCamp right now, kinda kicking myself for not having come out here earlier (I got here a little after 4pm today). So far I got part of a session about SVG, and a service called Pandora which is basically a music streaming service that makes recommendations based on music you like (and finds matches from less well known artists --the so called "long tail"). One interesting little tidbit I got out of the Pandora session was about naming; apparently nonsensical names are memorable than the sensical ones. Right now I'm catching the tail end of the Women in Tech session where, it sounds like they're talking about creating an Open Source mobile-based geolocation-yummy service thinggy.
