Went to BarCamp Philly last weekend and had a great time. Gave a talk on my failed attempt to revolutionize the online interview. Attended some cool sessions on social networking for offline communities and career transitions between independent and corporate environments.

My favorite part was the fact that, at the beginning of the day, everyone wrote down the sessions they wanted to give on index cards and posted them to an actual physical bulletin board (see above). Only then did a guy post them online. I dont know if this was the most efficient way to do it, but there was something refreshingly low tech about the method.
