Presented 3 "Lifestyle Experiments" at BarCamp Vancouver 2008

I was fortunate enough to have been able to head into Vancouver for this year's installment of BarCamp Vancouver.
I'd stayed up all the previous night tossing some photos and thoughts together on the "Lifestyle Experiments" topics of 'Remote Working', 'Gulf Islands Living', and 'Sailing as Work Related Transportation'.
I was very grateful for the hospitality shown by Darren Barefoot and Julie Szabo. They permitted me to join them for their proposed talk to form a bit of a discussion panel.
They've set up http://laptopbedouin.com/ as a place to start talking about such things. Check 'em out and subscribe!
The crowd was great and had some great insights and questions. There was even one gentleman who had recently been to Galiano and was checking the place out as a destination for his family.
I got a lot of positive feedback after the talk as well, so maybe it's a talk that needs to be refined a little and actually given in full someday.
OH... here are the presentation slides, in Open Office format.
Ocean Racing meets Reality TV meets Disney

I think the only Disney film I've ever looked forward to seeing was Bambi, for it's June 20, 1975 release. I was four years old.
Well, I've got another to add to the list: Morning Light.
I'm not a movie-ista by any stretch, but I can imagine this film going reasonably well, or horribly wrong. Got any predictions?
UPDATE: Here's a humorous review and follow up comment.
How to use DeepRockDrive and it's unique Show Player
Submitted by Christian Nally on Fri, 2008-05-23 06:10.
Burt, (DeepRockDrive's director, not the Ernie's buddy), has built a killer description video on how to use the DeepRockDrive Player.
The coolness of the player is an important part of the experience, because these shows are not just about watching an act... they're about interacting with the band, and with the fans who are there.
Check it out!
