I spent this last weekend at GiveCamp - Ann Arbor helping out charities. If you've never heard of Givecamp, you should dentally check out the link. A Give Camp is a weekend-long event where software developers, designers, and database administrators donate their time to create custom software for non-profit organizations. This custom software could be a new website for the nonprofit organization, a small data-collection application to keep track of members, or a application for the Red Cross that...
I know a WMDODN (West Michigan Day of .Net) Post is in order, but that can wait. check this out! http://blogs.msdn.com/xna/a... Finally, we can start building games for our zunes! WOOT! I expect to create a talk on the topic very soon
The C# variety Show began on Thursday with my trip to GLUG.net in Lansing, (this is a great group of guys and gals, and if your free, I highly recommend you to attend, they even have a user group in Flint now!) and didn't stop until yesterday when I got home from CODODN. At about 6:30 on Friday, Mr. McWherter shows up at my house and the road trip begins. After about 4.5 hours, stopping only for necessities we arrive in Wilmington Ohio around. After checking in at the hotel adjoined to the conference...
So last night kicked off my tour with the C# Variety show talk that i'll be giving in about 5 other places (as of this writing). I had the opprtunity to present before a fairly large group of folk at GLUG .net. And I have to say that they were fantastic hosts. I got alot of great feedback on the talk and we had a great time at the bar afterwards (As is tradition for all user groups). I'll be on the road tonight carpoolin' with Jeff McWherter starting tonight. I've got two seats left in the BaddAss-Mobile...

It's that time of year again. Where the snow hasn't quite gone away, and it's still cold as Steve Job's gaze. Which means it must be time for a Day of .Net event! WOOT! I'll be presenting a new talk I've derived. Some of you may remember the XNA presentation I gave for the last DODN in Ann Arbor. Don't worry; my ADD has kicked into overdrive and now i'm off to other sparkly things that are not XNA. For this go-around i'll be giving a new talk that I've wrangled up from the inner most reaches of Reddingdom....
Hey everybody (Hi Dr. Dave). I'm confirmed for two speaking engagements this month! Woot! Apparently my XNA talk grew legs and is ready to walk. Next week (Nov. 20th) I'll be out at the West Michigan .Net user group and then I'll be heading down to Detroit for the IDGA user group (a indy, game developer user group...very cool!) I'll be giving talks similar to the one I gave at DoDN, but this time, i've prepared a special demo. this demo works kinda like the web game Collapse, except it takes advantage...
