At Bar Camp 4 – Singapore
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!
James, thanks for coming to the barcamp. We plan to do many more mini barcamp on specific topics. Do look out for these.
Glad you liked my Design Thinking session. Great that you made the effort to speak to people. I used to be super shy too, but after lots of practice and pain, I’m a little less shy now
