Here’s Annunciation WordPress guru Twenty B’s posing w. a local Banksy piece.

Won’t Bow. Don’t Know How.

David Simon’s new HBO series ‘Treme’ debuted last Sunday, and I got to watch it recently. It’s always tough to see New Orleans portrayed by the outside world, but Treme does so relatively well. Gorgeous cinematography, great music and vibe – so we’ll try to forgive the heavy-handed cultural name dropping and awkward references. All in all, I’m gratified to see our story being told by such a capable team. Looking forward to episode two.

Boom.

Twenty B’s took this picture from the Moonwalk here in New Orleans on the Fourth of July. I like it because it looks like the Crescent City Connection is blowing up.

Our friend Erik ‘the k is black‘ Kiesewetter has launched an updated portfolio here, and it’s (as he’d say) ‘bangin’. He’s a great talent and we work with him often. Ask him about his Bike® Shorts.

Eye-Con at Barrister’s.

Wow, really incredible paintings from Scott Guion’s Eye-Con series showing at Barristers Gallery near our offices.

Blown away by this neat shot of a Marigny church. Part of a New Orleans Flickr Group here. This one by Monde Noir.

Neighbor Off His Meds

Our office neighbor is an odd bird. Relatively cordial when he’s on his medication, he occasionally goes off the grid and takes to letting his house collapse around him, throwing trash all over the yard and street, and wandering around naked. Most recently, something he was doing was enough to alarm the NOFD. Another day in paradise.

Banksy in New Orleans??

Rumors and evidence of possible Banksy work (or closely derived from his work) seen in New Orleans, on the 3rd anniversary of Katrina. Small photoset here.

NOLA BarCamp.

There’s talk of organizing a BarCamp here in NOLA this coming January. Details to follow!

BarCamp is an international network of user generated conferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants — often focusing on early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies, social protocols, and open data formats.

The name “BarCamp” is a playful allusion to the event’s origins, with reference to the hacker slang term, foobar: BarCamp arose as a spin-off of Foo Camp, an annual invitation-only participant driven conference hosted by open source publishing luminary Tim O’Reilly.

The first BarCamp was held in Palo Alto, California, from August 19-21, 2005, in the offices of Socialtext. It was organized in less than one week, from concept to event, with 200 attendees. Since then, BarCamps have been held in over 31 cities around the world, in North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Australasia and Asia. To mark the one-year anniversary of BarCamp, BarCampEarth was held in multiple locations world wide on August 25-27, 2006.

UPDATE: I believe the date is narrowing to the 5th and 6th of January. Please visit the wiki that has been set up for up-to-date info!
