Steve's Recap of CodeMash 2013
Last week I was one of the lucky thousands of developers, designers, and business software types to attend CodeMash at the Kalahari Resort in Sandusky, Ohio. 2013 was the 7th year for CodeMash and it drew in technical types from all around North America (that’s right, even Canada). When tickets went on sale back in October the conference sold out in less than a minute, almost unheard of among development conferences. I was lucky enough to grab tickets for myself and a former colleague for our first CodeMash adventure.

Tweeting, Checking In, and Texting to Win
While I’m not a huge proponent of foursquare on the level of personal use (I can’t honestly say I think people care about me filling up my gas, or going to the grocery store, or flying to Topeka, Kansas), I am intrigued by the idea that you can check in at an event via your phone. Foursqare’s application in this sense allows users to check-in upon arrival and sometimes digitally receive cool stuff- like free drinks at a bar or a free appetizer.I’m not sold quite yet on this fad [...]
Events in a Social Media Society
My name is Jessica, and I am an addict…to my Blackberry. My friends make fun of me for being on my phone so often but my mobile device has been my most trusted and needed partner throughout this past year; helping me reply and send out hundreds of emails , answer phone calls, market my events on the go, and hold meetings while multitasking, while I am doing things like riding the bus or sitting between classes. I can’t imagine being an event planner sans smart phone in the world of [...]
