Last night I attended my 2nd Refresh Phoenix meeting. And of course the after party, where there occurred, among other things, a rather odd moment…
tweet tweet “sittin in Ling & Louie’s when a man walks thru the dining room carryin a toilet. how bizzare!”
Of course much bathroom related commentary and humor ensued. But also reminded me of this:
Fellas, how’d ya like to use this bathroom? Would it boost your ego? Or make you self-conscious? I tend to like bathrooms, at least the cool and unusual ones. And I find the concept rather amusing. 😉
Now, fun stuff aside, I’d be remiss if I didn’t actually talk about Refresh, especially as it was demo night and there were some interesting, and fun (yes, more fun) stuff presented. As I was late, I only caught a few. Of particular interest (to me of course):
1) Erica Lucci (@EricaLucci) of Integrum Technologies presented Read Phoenix, an aggregator of blogs and bloggers in the Phoenix. (I’ll add myself one day, i.e. when I’m blogging with more frequency and value…perhaps when I publish a draft of a time map project that’s been incubating for two weeks.)
2) Brian Shaler (@brianshaler) presented XID, a tool for locating and engaging friends on multiple platforms by creating a linked list of a user’s web presence. XID is still in development, but Brian regularly provides updates on the XID Development Blog. (Def excited…can’t wait for launch.)
3) Matt Gist (@aparticularpath) and Matt Heidemann (@heidmotron) presented nehmehyeh, an app that allows users to record their moods everyday of the year. It’s a different spin on Flicker365 and other apps and groups centered around self-portraiture. (This may find it’s way into my time map project.)
There were doubtlessly other great ideas and projects demoed (check out the list on the Refresh site). I’ve heard a bit about DurtBagz and am disappointed I missed their presentation.
*If anyone can has other links I can attach to any of these folks, holla.
