Slighty delayed (Put together quickly (Haligan)) by michaelb
These last several weeks have been very busy, starting a new job, a huge structure fire behind our place, Carol’s horrific car wreck and making preparations for her extended trip to China.
Several weeks back I started working with the Greater Louisville Association of Realtors as their MLS Director which places me responsible for their MLS system and all IT systems and services. I’m pretty excited about this because I see some great opportunities of taking the way normal people (non web 2.0 junkies) use this data and make it more accessible and empower them to do more with it using things like microformats, feeds and a few other tools.
[UPDATE] I’ve been saved from office work and I’m now the sys admin and chief technical tentacle at Laughing Squid.
The other exciting thing I’m working on is looking at creating a Coworking space in Louisville. I’ll be meeting with the Assistant Director of Economic Development, John Fischer to talk about this idea in very near future. I really think this can be used to help grow the local development and creative community and I’m looking forward to help create such a space. So if you are in the Louisville area and are interested please drop me a line.

Next weekend in Louisville is the fifth annual
Forecastle Festival, a two-day public event featuring music, art and activism. Sleater-Kinney and The Apples in Stereo will be co-headlining the show and this will be one of the few remaining performance for Sleater-Kinney before their announced
indefinite hiatus. Started by JK McKnight it can best be described by his own words:
It’s a cause worth fighting for, as it carries the promise of establishing an activism-centered festival in the mainstream of America. There’s a sense of purpose, will, duty, and renewed urgency given the state of world affairs. Inspiration is equally drawn from a great deal of young people who have volunteered their hearts and minds to this noble cause, and seek only to better themselves through independent music, emerging artists, and a progressive environmental agenda.

Plus, this weekend tickets for the
5th Annual Lebowski Fest go on sale and tickets for the main event (includes bowling, shoe rental and Garden Party concert) go fast.
