I’m involved with organizing two upcoming events in the Kansas City area for web developer/designers.

PreDevCamp – Kansas City

This is an event we just announced today that will be a “bootcamp” for developing on Palm’s new Mojo SDK platform, which is the development toolkit for the upcoming Palm Pre phone.

Website: PreDevCamp – Kansas City.

StartupWeekend – Kansas City

StartupWeekends are events that have been occuring nationwide for the past couple years, and it is Kansas City’s first chance to host one. These events typically take place over a weekend, starting Friday afternoon, and ending Sunday evening. During this event, teams of developers, designers, project managers, marketing peeps, etc… will break off into teams and at the weekend the goal is to have a company up & running with a prototype product built to demo to potential investors.

“Movin’ on up”

So I threw down the deposit today for my new pad in downtown Kansas City and can’t wait to move in. It’s the Waltower building at 9th & Walnut. I had the choices between a mid-level 1 bedroom, or a 2 bedroom/2 bath penthouse for $80 more, too good to pass up.

The new place is two blocks away from the new library (which is awesome) and 2 1/2 blocks away from the main building (Library Lofts) which has all my amenities; pool, fitness center, jacuzzi, sauna, tanning bed, clubhouse, pool table, putting green.

So I’m on the top level and the closest 3 of 5 sections are mine.

Unfortunately, Penthouse-polooza doesn’t begin until July 22nd. Gonna be tough to have to wait two months.
