Google Wave Wednesday
So tomorrow is the big day!!! When google releases 100,000 invites to us early adopters out there for the highly anticipated app Google Wave.
So when I get up in the morning I will jump onto my email and see if that coveted invite is there in all its goodness. If not and there is the option to send an invite to a friend I would love to get one from somebody to help feed my early adopter/wanting to play with the newest service addiction hehe.
So not sure what Google Wave is yet? Check out the info below:
Google Wave is an online tool for real-time communication and collaboration. A wave can be both a conversation
and a document where people can discuss and work together using richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.
Also if I do get an invite and there is the option to invite others you can be sure I will be sharing the option to my readers for those limited invites.
Here is to the excitement of Google Wave Wednesday!!

The Geek hits 20,000 tweets!
So with this blog post and the notification to twitter of it I will hit the magical number of 20,000 tweets!!! That is so crazy to think I have updated the service that many times.
It all started back in July of 2006 when i new service came on the scene called twitter. Since then I have met some awesome people, attended numerous bar/pod camps, social media club events, and had some pretty kool opportunities come my way.
Instead of typing everything here is a little video I made to talk about the journey.
Thanks again everyone for following me....here is to 20,000 more!

The Dogs of KC need your help! Kansas City Doggie “Food-raiser”
So Spay & Neuter Kansas City along with Volunteams.org have launched a doggie "food-raiser" which is geared towards helping poverty stricken people care for their animals here in the Kansas City area.
In 2008, SNKC distributed in excess of 10,000 pounds of dog food. Our goal is to raise at least that amount in one month. With your help we can. We’re asking to people to collaborate in teams to raise dog food. SNKC and Volunteams will be keeping track of pounds contributed by each team.
[side note] I have been challenged to collect 1000lbs of dog food during the "food-raiser" and I would love to reach this goal. lets smash this total everyone!!!
I think this is a great goal that with the help of social media services like blogs, twitter, facebook, ect ect it can be reached and help those pets out there who are suffering due to owners having to cut back in todays economic conditions.
So what can you do to help out? You can do a few of the following:
- pledge some money to me and I will purchase the dog food and get it to SNKC and you are done!
- take some food to SNKC directly or even give a cash donation to help SNKC reach their goal.
- spread the word by linking to SNKC, Volunteams, or my blog post.
here are some drop off points that you can leave your doggie food donations:
Brothers Pets
Located at 4015 Sterling at I-70 and Sterling
Phone: 816.358.6005
Spay Neuter Kansas City
1116 E. 59th Street
Kansas City, Missouri 64110
Phone: 816.353.0940
So there you go. If you are interested in helping me out to get the food to those dogs who need it either contact me via DM on twitter or email me at jeffisageek@gmail.com or if you decide to go your own route let them know you are donating on behalf of (jeff)isageek to help me reach my 1000lbs of food goal. Thanks everyone lets make a difference!
[update] you can also send me a donation right from twitter using twitassist.me

PubSubHubBub and RSSCloud : Adding Them To Your WordPress Blog
So if you follow the tech blogs around the interweb you will surely have noticed the talk of the real-time web and the part that services like PubSubHubBub and RSSCloud could play in all of this. I really has become one of the hot stories us geeks are talking about.
TechCruch has a story they put out recently "RSSCloud Vs. PubSubHubbub: Why The Fat Pings Win" where they looked at the pluses and minuses of each technology.
PubSubHubBub description on wikipedia - "PubSubHubbub is an open protocol for distributed Publish/subscribe communication on the internet. The protocol extends the Atom and RSS protocols for data feeds. The main purpose is to provide near-instant notifications of change updates, which would improve on the typical situation where a client periodically polls the feed server at some arbitrary interval."
ReadWriteWeb had a snipit about RSSCloud - "RSSCloud is an element that's always been present in the RSS 2.0 spec but has drawn new attention with the rise of interest in the Real-Time Web."
Now as bloggers we always want to get our information and blog posts out as quick as possible and for those of us who use WordPress there are a couple plugins that we can use to take advantage of both of these types of technologies at least till maybe we get a winner in the discussion of which is better for the masses.
The two simple plugins (which i have both installed on (jeff)isageek.net) are:
On a side note can I just say I love saying PubSubHubBub

BarCampKC – Sept 26th @ JavaPortKC
So its that time again!!! Time for another BarCamp here in KC. The 2009 edition will take place at the JavaPort on Sept 26th from 9am to 5pm. Now maybe you are like what the heck is a barcamp anyways well here is a little info for you to digest:
BarCampKC is a user generated conference in Kansas City that's focused on innovative technology, blogging, and business projects local to the area.
"User generated" means the people who attend BarCampKC are the same people organizing and presenting at the conference. In other words we hope that if you come to BarCampKC you'll also present something ("run a session"). If not, just be ready to listen to other presenters, contribute to their content, and ask a lot of questions. For more info check out this Wikipedia entry
BarCampKC isn't about sponsorship by any single company, headhunters trying to recruit you, charlatans trying to sell you something, or lecturers showing you how to do your day job more efficiently.
BarCampKC is about presenting on the projects you're passionate about, involving your friends and colleagues, getting inspired by others, and meeting some talented and creative folks you'd likely not run into otherwise.
To register for BarCampKC jump over the the Eventbrite page. Also there is a blog that will be updated with information soon about the event as well.
So who is going to BarCampKC? Will I see ya there? I hope so! Can't wait.
