If you happened to see my presentation Saturday at WordCamp Portland, here’s my companion post with links to the slideshow, the UStream video, and the resources I referenced during the talk itself:

Slideshow is up on Slideshare (without fancy transitions, sorry – couldn’t preserve the Keynote ‘bling’ added by my 10-year-old):

Video is up on UStream (thanks, Dale Chumbley!):

I’m getting incredibly pumped up about WordCamp Portland this weekend.

Sure, I may be speaking. Yes, I’m a sponsor (and am helping to facilitate the beer acquisition and delivery, woo-hoo!) But I have to shamelessly say that WordCamp Portland will absolutely, positively rock it.

And not just because we’ll be tapping the kegs just before dinner, either!

See, I was lucky enough to have dinner last night with Lorelle VanFossen after our planning session last night, and I know her presentation will leave my own humble offering in the dust. I know Justin Kisner is helping to kick off the pre-conference festivities by turning Beer & Blog over to all things WP. I’m hearing nothing but good buzz about the event.

Plus? There’ll be beer there!

If you’re going? Do check out these last minute tips, or follow @wordcampdx on Twitter. Don’t forget to tag everything wordcampdx if you’re liveblogging, Twittering, Flickr-ing, or what have you. And do say hello to me, will you —I’ll be manning the registration table.

And if you didn’t register? Sadly enough, you are out of luck – the wait list is loooong and we’ve had close to zero cancellations.
