With the World Series only one game away from a potential winner I decided to go search through the Prints and Photographs collection from the Library of Congress for some old World Series photos.  This one shows umpires in the 1916 World Series game which featured the Boston Red Sox and the Brooklyn Robins.  Stats from this series can be found at baseball-almanac.com.

You can find many more amazing World Series photographs from the Library of Congress on the LOC Prints and Photographs site.


2nd Annual BarCampDC [Review]

October 27th, 2008

CDIAWow it has been one week since the second annual BarCampDC.  The camp was a total success and couldn’t have been done without our friends at CDIA who generously let us use their space!  We also can’t forget all the great talks and discussions that were held and everyone you attended.  We estimated that we had about 130 people who took part in talks from beer to creating iPhone applications.  Each attendee got a shirt, food, and some great new knowledge!  Even though we may have estimated a bit high on the pizza (always better to have more than not enough), we still had enough cash on hand to hold a amazing social hour (Open Bar) at McFadden’s.   I personally would like to thank Justin, John, Peter and all the other organizers and volunteers and sponsors who pitched in.   Such a great un-conference couldn’t of happened without you guys especially the sponsors.  So…When is the next one? Justin has posted a poll on his website asking when the 3rd Annual BarCampDC should take place. Please go and vote! This will help us in planning a time frame for the next camp.  Also suggestions and comments are always welcome. If you know something that we can do better please let use know! You can just drop those suggestions and ideas in the comments below.
Shirts!
Oh yea, I second what Justin has said.

All of this really shows how together we are in our goal of making the DC area one of the most kick ass technology and entrepreneurial centers on the East coast if not the country as a whole.
