In just a few days, Florida Creatives will have been a regular event in Orlando every month for 3 years. This is a cause for celebration. I hope you can all make it out to the festivities. 2010 is going to be a big year for Florida Creatives, with the Brevard circle turning 1 year old, and new circles starting in South Florida and Lakeland. Come and meet some likeminded folks - people who are always learning, working to change the world, looking to create something new, or people who just like being social. Thanks for 3 awesome years of your input, ideas, friendship and support. This group is reaching a new plateau, it is entirely due to our members, whom we ask little of, but who give us so much. Admission is free, there is no sign-up form, there are no nametags, just come and be yourself, and the creatives will guide you from there!  It's not a user group, it's not an unconference, it's not a geek dinner, it's not a meetup or a networking event. Yet, people who enjoy these types of events will find a home at our table. The best way I can tie all these folks together is with the string of Innovation - that magic pixie dust that inspires us when we see it in others, rewards us when we achieve it ourselves, and pat our peers on the back when they can do it without bragging. Indeed, whether they be engineers, entrepreneurs, artists, actors, writers, or anyone else, the spark of invention brings us all to the marketplace, and has kept us coming back for over 2 years. For those keeping tabs, we've also got a Florida Creatives on the Space Coast as well, and a new group getting started in South Florida. Creatives are getting organized all over the state, and being a part of the movement is as simple as showing up and having a conversation.

The November/December Likemind is done the first week of the month, to avoid conflicts with holiday travel.

More than 3 years ago, I heard about these two marketing guys / geeks from New York who had started an event they held on Friday mornings for coffee and conversation. The first few were just the two of them, but as they invited people and the word got out, it grew until it started getting on the radar all over the world. Now Likemind happens in scores of cities on every continent, and Orlando has been on that list almost since the beginning. Likemind is before work (8AM), it happens downtown, and everyone is welcome. Bring a few friends, get some coffee, and tell us what's on your mind.  Likemind in Orlando could be huge - in a different way than the Happy Hours and Coworking have been. The point of Likemind is the exchange of ideas - it's not a networking event, it's a discussion. There are tons of networking events. They suck. There are tons of user groups. Their format is generally a presentation. We all know from the Cluetrain Manifesto, and from events like BlogOrlando and BarCamp, that conversations are powerful things. Groups in 60+ other cities all over the world will be getting together for conversations with their community - sure, they may not have 2+ years of these events behind them, but we do. One of the first reasons we started Likemind was to encourage the coworking scene locally - that's grown up and there are now several healthy groups in town. Attendance to likemind has been poor, and sometimes even I forget when it's happening. Likemind is too cool an idea to have it fall by the side of the road. The events in New York and London are huge, with 50-100 attendees every month. When I went in London, they said 80% of the people were newcomers every month. If we can be half as successful, we'll have a huge impact. You show up, I'll buy coffee and breakfast. Just like the old days. Location? (must have good coffee) The Drunken Monkey is a great place, and it's not right in the heart of downtown - I don't know if that fact will end up helping or hurting in the long run - we'll try it out for a few months. The coffee is great, the food is good, and the attitude is right. Plus, you can sometimes run into people from other circles there, which never happens at Panera or Starbuck's. A great thing about Stardust, Dandelion, Austin's or Drunken Monkey are the people from the Film, Theatre, Music, and Art communities in town who call those places their "third place", where they go when it's not work or home. Cross-pollination is going to be important to an event like Likemind. It's interesting to see how much of Orlando's Likemind is visible on the internet - Alex, Cory and Florida Creatives appear in the first 3 pages of google for "likemind", along with Piers and Noah (who started the event in New York), San Fran, Berlin, Italy, Austin, Milwaukee, Tokyo, and a few others. Orlando gets more hits on those 3 pages than the founders! Please twitter about it, grow the community, talk it up, put it on your calendar, and help Orlando leave a wake on it's way sailing to the top of the world.

Open Source Hardware - Makerbot, Arduino

rprice@ryanpricemedia.com (Ryan Price) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:49:00 -0500

If you pay attention to hardware at all, you'll have seen people building interesting tools for fun or profit with openly designed, hackable devices such as Makerbot and Arduino. We also see lots of popular media featuring open hardware, like this episode of WebNation from the Canadian Discovery Channel, filmed at a hackerspace in Toronto.

Hey, we have a hackerspace, too! We have lots of people showing off interesting stuff locally, such as a guy @mwilliams gave a presentation about BARduino at an Orlando Ruby User Group meeting: Physical Computing with Ruby and Arduino View more documents from orug.

Holga Mods Made Easy!

rprice@ryanpricemedia.com (Ryan Price) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:27:00 -0500

This section will show how I converted my boring standard Holga 120-S into the fabulous Super Purple Holga 120S Deluxe you see above. As you will see, the modifications are more than cosmetic. Besides the nifty purple exterior and white-wall lens, you will learn about four practical improvements I made to the camera. They were: 1. Removing the lens stop screw so the lens can be quickly and easily removed, 2. Adding a smaller aperture for bright light conditions, 3. Flocking the interior, and, 4. Adding a permanent velcro light-proof cover for the red exposure window.

This is an exciting time for toy camera enthusiasts. A new breed of toy cameras is emerging from dark shaded places around the world, a place where strange people must actually think that film cameras still can sell. But of course these aren’t your regular film cameras, they are toy cameras—targeted to the young, hip rebels of the photography world.

If you’re a Vegan or prefer to be eco-conscious when you shop then you’ll definitely want to pop-in to Artichoke Red, a new market that just opened on Ivanhoe Antique Row, north of downtown Orlando.

Orlando Critical Mass

Meets every Friday at the Science Center, then rides through downtown. I love the pedestrian who was pissed at them for "blocking traffic" and the hipsters who grumbled back at him. http://www.myspace.com From: liberatr Views: 668

while some of us are old enough to remember that once upon a time, these arguments always had at least some sort of ideological flavor to them, i.e. the throwdowns were at least rooted in some sort of real political issue (war, taxes, immigration, etc.) we’ve now got a whole generation that is accustomed to screaming at cultural enemies as an end in itself, for the sheer dismal fun of it. Start fighting first, figure out the reasons later.
