Just to be clear, Ignite Boulder is a great gig. If you have the time, I highly recommend you go. Let your brain open up for a while and have fun. If you really want to make it worthwhile, give a presentation. The view is much better and it is a blast, even if Jeremy tells the room your wife recently died. (She didn’t. That’s how crazy this room is.)

James (@jaggedpen) couldn’t make this one, so here’s Bryan (@bugfrog) talking about bar codes, QR codes, cell phones, and object hyperlinking. <–link–> As presentations go, Bryan would like to improve his skills, but everyone survived and enjoyed the beers. Did we mention there were beers? And dogs. 2 points and a bonus spin for the person who tells me which presenter had a dog walk across his presentation.

Be sure to check out all the videos as each one was unique and interesting. All of the vids (BTW the format with the vids and slides showing at the same time is great. Big thanks to Craig Kendall for shooting the video.) are available at the Ignite Boulder site. <–link–> Here’s a list of the presenters:

• Copywriting for your startup – Brian L Burns @brianlburns

• Swarm Intelligence – Brandon Geiger @brandongeiger

Ignite Boulder 3 will be announced soon. Hope to see you there!

On December 17, 2008, Bryan and James presented at IgniteBoulder at the Atlas Building on the CU campus. We decided to present on the QR codes that we have been working with for the past few weeks, sort of a primer for the Assassin Meet and Greet game we are building that uses the codes.

This was the second Ignite event in Boulder hosted by Andrew Hyde and Jeremy Tanner, and like before, the event was packed with great people from just about any discipline. If you needed a second opinion on something, you wouldn’t have to go far to get it in this room. And Jeremy was wearing a dress.

The videos of the evening’s presentations should be available soon, but until then, here’s a link to some great photos taken by Jared Kohlman of Pro Photo Rental.
