Finally, the second iteration of BarCampBirmingham is a GO!
I was peeved beyond all measure at missing the inaugural BarCampBirmingham. I don’t plan to make the same mistake again.
BCB2 will take place from 9a-3p on Saturday, April 12th at the phenomenal Innovation Depot.
Just like last time, there will be a pre-event mixer from 8–11p on Friday, April 11th at the Jim ‘N Nick’s Bar-B-Q in Five Points.
For those of you who’ve never heard the term BarCamp before, well…check this out. And if you want to know Why? As in WhyBarCampBirmingham2, well…click here.
In the spirit of BarCamp, I’ve already started working on my merit badges…
- Made the banner above using current BCB2 logo elements. Anyone who wants to use it for BCB2 promotion is free to snag a copy.
- Made a couple of iCalender files for folks who want to quickly drop the mixer and/or BCB2 on their scheduling tool of choice.
I expect to be whipping up a few more trinkets and doo-dads here and there for BarCampBirmingham2 between now and April.

Sweet Mother of Moses!
This takes me right back to the early and mid-70s. First-grade, to be exact…
Better…Stronger…Faster!

Well…it’s been little more than Android-a-palooza here at the Funlab today.
I guess the robot horde was more than a tad pent-up, what with the interminable wait for a couple of other telecom-ish items to either arrive or drop from Microsoft, Palm and AT&T.
So when OHA offered up the Android SDK yesterday like a sacrificial lamb…
The mechanized wolfpack here at the Funplex pounced on it like, well…
A very pouncy thing.
But we’ve managed to get some quality time with the emulator, and grabbed some screenies for you to peep. So many that we’re starting a whole new Funlab series on installing and using the Android SDK.
Funlab 0.x, to be exact.
Try not to drool all into your keyboard.

Hey kiddos…
Here’s a first look at the Open Handset Alliance’s brand-spankin’ new Android mobile platform emulator.
Hmmmm…
Looks like the kind of cellphone that ASIMO, that crazy robot from Honda, would carry.
Lots more to come, so stay tuned.

Gonna be doing a bit of work on the ol’ Funcave tonight. Laying in the newest standalone version of the fantabulous Wordpress.
So if things look a little weird for a while, don’t worry. We haven’t been shut down by The Man, wrenched by The Monkees, or blown up by The Bolsheviks.
And BTW…
If me or any of the robot horde run into any of you self-proclaimed monkeywrenchers out there…
Expect to receive a serious asskicking. I’m not kidding.
