So I got back from the first bit of BarCamp LA four hours ago. Mack Reed has better coverage over at LA Voice, so I'll just leave my first day report at saying I enjoyed it.

But earlier today I was mentioning that I had a demo I wanted to get ready. Definitely wasn't ready to go at 4pm, but that's no big deal since I'm not presenting until 4pm tomorrow (err... today). And I'm proud to say it's ready. And if I do say so myself, it's cool.

I wish I had time between now and then to put together a cool presentation to go along with the demo. I may just hack something together in the time right beforehand tomorrow. Now, though, I need sleep.

Eric Richardson lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works on payments infrastructure for Cash App.

Past lives involved streaming audio for Southern California Public Radio, running a hyperlocal news site for Downtown Los Angeles, working on custom mapping code, and writing Perl at the Jet Propulsion Labratory.
