Nerdcamp. (Wordcamp Fayetteville Recap)

I’m becoming a WordPress Junkie and have now attended two different Wordcamps within the last 30 days (#wcnash and #wcfay).  This past weekend I spent the day in Fayetteville, Arkansas.  The Wordcamps are probably considered Nerdcamps by those that don’t know or understand the WordPress platform for blogging and web site design.  They are a small group of people (50-100 people) that are dedicated to sharing their knowledge and learning more about the functionality of WordPress, who meet to talk techy stuff.

I got to know some great people while in Fayetteville this past weekend.  First, I got to know a fellow #sgftwitterchick, Jenny.  Jenny with a famous phone number.  We had an easy two hour drive across the border and there were no GPS errors like my previous Wordcamp road trip.  Then I met a kindred spirit, an evolved mommy who was absolutely hysterical.  And when I say kindred, I don’t mean in the mommy type way, but in the type 1 way as she told me a heart-wrenching story about how type 1 diabetes affected her life with someone she loved.  In addition to these fun, witty women, I also met Q-tip and his creative friend who let me in on their Google Wave for live blogging the event.  (Q-tip is not what you think, it is an alternative name I gave him to not use his real name on this blog. It is meant in the sincerest form of respect.) I’ve embedded the Wave if you want to read the collaborative group effort conference notes.

But only read it if you’re a nerd like me.
