More Shmoocon projects

No, I didn't take up an entry for the hacker arcade. Maybe next year.

But, what I did do was take some inspiration from last year's attempt at a "shmooball launcher". Given my involvement with potato cannons, I figured this one would be a slam dunk, and infinitely better than the leafblower from last year's closing ceremonies.

So here's a sneak preview of my version during the dry fit stage. I've completeley glued and done some low pressure testing. I've got a few issues to resolve, but nothing major.

Josh, I'll see you at your presentation. I promise not to aim for your junks.

A busy Shmoo is a good Shmoo

It just goes to show not to give up hope. I heard back Saturday that I'm currently on deck as an alternate speaker. That means if someone bails last minute, or if someone has to back out, there is a good possibility that I'll be speaking.

Some is better than none, so I'll take it.

See you at Shmoocon!

I'm not really dead...

Lots of life changes...busy, you know the deal.

In any case, I submitted a proposal for the 2008 Shmoocon CFP, and we were supposed to hear back by January 10th, 2008. I haven't heard yet, and it is the 11th, so, I'm thinking I'm out. Certainly, I know the shmoos are busy and may be running a bit behind, so I'll still hold out a little hope.

Regardless of my speaking status, I'll be in attendance, and at the Podcasters Meetup

See you there!
