Barcamp Ottawa kicked off this evening with a small mixer at the Fox and Feather on Elgin street. It was great to see so many friends, and meet new people. Bryce shot some photos, which I’ve uploaded to this flickr set, and tagged BarCampOttawa. This is a particular representative shot showing me, David Crowe with a beer in his hand (does it ever leave his hand?) and Sutha Kamal checking his email on his Treo (does it ever leave his hand?).
An evening of beer, geeky chat, and a winning hockey game! What could be more fun.
Speaking of hockey, it was a close game until the third, when the Sens creamed the Lightning. The last twenty minutes were very exciting hockey. For a little fun, here’s the This Hour Has 22 Minutes Locker-room Interview with the Sens. Enjoy!
Go Sens Go!

Is that a playoff beard?
Heh Heh. I was thinking he's copying his littlest brother.
Yeah… could be a playoff beard, or laziness….
