PodCamp Boulder

Jeremy Tanner — Sat, 11 Dec 2010 00:55:26 +0000

PodCamp Boulder returns in 2011!

PodCamp Boulder 3 will be held February 4-5, 2011 at Boulder Digital Arts (1600 Range St, Boulder)

How’s it going down?

Starting at 7:00 Friday night we’ll get together over drinks and in front of a whiteboard to hash out the Saturday schedule. Knowledge to drop? Things you’ve been curious about? So long as it’s in the realm of creating / posting (Audio, Video, Photos, Blogs/Microblogs) , it’s fair game. We’ll wrap at 9:00 having decided both what sessions / panels / discussions will be happening, and when we want to be back in the morning. (9:00-5:00 Saturday) All are welcome. Invite a friend. Bring your gear, bring a good attitude.

Still not sure?

Three Years in Boulder

Jeremy Tanner — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 17:14:22 +0000

This weekend I fired up the motorcycle and rode until the sun fell behind the flatirons, 65º and sunny the day after Thanksgiving, I pretty much HAD to. But temperate winter isn’t much of a surprise here, I was reminded of why I moved out three years ago; wearing shorts hiking the foothills in mid-November, the trailhead starts a mile from my house.

While working in Detroit three years ago, I was invited out to Boulder by two friends who had made the move from Michigan 6 months earlier. It was time for a break, so I took a week off and flew into Denver. We drove into Boulder at night, I didn’t see the mountains (foothills) until I woke the next morning. Years later, waking up and seeing the mountains still puts a smile on my face, I wondered if it would fade. It has not. That week I attended Boulder’s New Tech Meetup (it was still 25 guys in an unused conference room) and the first Barcamp Boulder. I met startup founders, freelancers and others who liked to talk tech on the weekends. There was interesting work to be done. I took a few interviews. I was back 2 weeks later.

By living in Boulder, I can take a better vacation on my lunch break than I could in a weekend. Canyon ride to a mountain town, mountain park or just a bend in Boulder Creek that I can have to myself for a while. A little further out, Snowboarding, Mountain Biking, National Parks and Rafting. And a lot of people who’ll join you. As a small town, Boulder has short commutes; allowing one more time to spend with friends or family. A small land area allows for serendipity, running across friends while walking the pedestrian mall or the ease of getting a few people together for dinner / drinks, downtown is always just a few minutes away. Everyone here is from somewhere else. There’s not the same lock-in you find in towns where most have been friends since grade school. You become a local once you’ve been here longer than half your friends.

Wether it’s a girl, a job or a university; what brings you here won’t be what keeps you here, but that’s fine. If you want to be challenged and grow as a result of it, stick around a while. You’ll have either found new reasons to stay, or gained experience that allows you to go be awesome somewhere else. Myself? I’m still closer to the beginning of my time here than to the end.

Crunk Energy on Where The Fun’s At

Jeremy Tanner — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 19:07:20 +0000

So there are a lot of other great shows out there. We figured doing a “tribute” episode would be fun. Since it’s a bit early in the day for wine, we’re trying Crunk Energy Drink. There are also more ways to watch now. Andrew grabbed a domain – wtfatsign.com. Look through the previous episodes, watch this one larger or read the show notes at thefun.blip.tv. We’re coming soon to the iTunes podcast store. And blip.tv is providing rss of the full files for each episode so you can add us as a channel on Boxee or other media centers that accept rss. Tell us what we’re doing wrong, what we’re doing right and as always, send large bags of money.

Ignite Boulder

Jeremy Tanner — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 21:19:36 +0000

I’ve been off the keys for a while. I know. I’m back now. Excited inspired. Committed to bleeding off a bit less of my energy on Twitter. Now that that’s out of the way…

I gave the first of what I hope turns into many Ignite Boulder presentations a week ago. Ignite allows 20 slides that auto-advance at 15 second intervals making for a 5 minute presentation. Topics are incredibly varied, rules are, no spam, no pitches, be interesting, have fun. Sort of a Turbo TED for the rest of us. I presented Practical Party Crashing, a mini boot camp aimed at those about to rock (in a stranger’s house) That was the most fun I’ve had at a tech event in quite some time. Tseng, Tara and our Australian visitor John Allsopp KILLED it. I can see doing this quarterly in Boulder going forward. Below is most of my presentation. Big thanks to Chip for manning the camera.

Startup Weekend

Jeremy Tanner — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 17:58:15 +0000

Startup Weekend was a blur, with myself and ~60 other people taking an idea and making it a company (VoSnap) in 54 hours. Starting with meeting and narrowing the ideas down to a single one on Friday night, to Leaving the temporary space on Sunday, there was something happening every minute. Meetings every hour, (some with yoga), the temporary site going up (VoSnap.com), getting some TechCrunch love, and finally wrapping up the weekend with a pending beta release. Head over to the site and sign up to be emailed when the quick vote beta launches!

Victory!

…Over the Boulder DMV. This Story starts 2 months ago when I bought my motorcycle. When the milage was written in, the pen was low on ink, so a second pass at one of the zeros was made. Unfortunately, this voided the title as it was considered ‘Altered’. After receiving the second title issued to the previous owners in the mail, I found that the back had been signed twice. After a third trip back to the DMV, I was given a ‘Statement of fact’ sheet to have signed by the previous owner as to why he wrote his name twice and crossed the second one out. After getting the signed statement back, I was able to go back to the DMV today and get my plates… 2 months later.
