Miami Vice, CSI Miami, these are the things that I refer to when someone talks about the location. I look back to what I have seen on television. Today as I sat on the front steps of a location in Coconut Grove, Florida, (I was told I couldn’t call it Maimi) I had visions of those times looking at blue water, people in shorts and beautiful weather.
I was trying to live stream a radio show using blog talk radio while attending barcamp. If the show itself was archived and turned into an mp3, you might be able to listen on the sidebar. If not who can tell. I had a great time down here at Barcamp Miami and Wordcamp Miami. The wifi and the Internet? It did not have such a great time. This is becming all to familiar a complain I hear in the world of tech conferences. You have hundreds of Internet users all converging on a single space and they have no way to handle the crowd. I am not going to beat that dead horse. Suffice it to say many curves were thrown at the organizers, yet they seemed to still make it a hit.
I do want to talk about how great the weather was, how wonderful the attendance was and how great I was at speaking. Okay, the last part is not necessarily true but I keep getting better at talking what I love to say the least. The weather and the company was great.
You get that many people in a room that all love blogging chances are the person at the front talking about blogging is going to be cheered. This was the case with all the sessions i saw. Everyone loved what was discussed. So much information and so little time were some fo the commentsI heard, and others still said they too would love to give information they had learned to the group. This is the perfect excample of why barcamps are so well received by attendees.
Sitting on the front of the location on the sidewalk talking into the microphone was very fun and not something I had done before. I hope to get a chance to do the same tomorrow. I am going to post some of the pictures of where I was sitting and of course it will not give the full expereince of sitting on the porch on a sunny Sunday afternoon watching the day go by and taling about what I love, but imagine it and you can hear the birds and feel the sun on your face.

Jim, met you Word(Bar)CampMiami09 – I was the guy who thought you might be the “other” Jim Turner. Liked your presentation style – it was probably better without those pesky slides, anyway. Best part was when that guru (JB?) asked you about getting ranked in google, lol.
