At Bar Camp 4 – Singapore

22 November, 2009 2 comments

Just back from (yet another) trip to Singapore.

This time I was attending Bar Camp 4.

It is curious blend of formal and informal. It is quite structured in the sense that it is organised – time slots are assigned, rooms are alocated, a lunchtime was set and observed (more or less).

Sesions on the Wall

Preetam Speaking to Everyone

That was the main organiser – Preetam. He was very good. And very busy all day.

I attemded a few seminars. My favourites were: “How To Pose Like a Korean Filmstar” and “Design Thinking and True Love”. But I enjoyed all of them.

Although I am in person very shy, I made an effort to speak to people – and to be fair it felt like we were all making our best efforts to show IT people as sociable and friendly.

Jumbled Cube

I ran into a couple of Rubics Cube experts.

Getting there

Done!

You can’t see it here, but this guy was very fast, spinning the cube to solve it. He and his friend did a little presentation and talked about strategies for solving the cube – so I now I know what is involved – but still can’t do it.

And that was my Saturday!
