Florida Creatives – Creating a Community of Innovation

Politics

• State of Sunshine - An irregular view of politics in the Sunshine State

Last year at BlogOrlando we had a session called 'The Orlando Scene'. The concept was to bring together folks for different backgrounds to talk about things like cow-orking, start-ups, etc. It's a year later, so what's changed? We gathered some of the local area leaders to talk over what's going on in Orlando.

I have to step up on my platform, and call all of my Orlando pals to hear my speech regarding our "City Beautiful".

Varick reminded me. Anyone up for another gathering? Perhaps somewhere new, undiscovered, untapped, unrefined, unknown, well-known, well-designed, well-managed, well-thought-out, inexpensive, expensive, big, small, in house–with a mouse?

Perhaps we can try to meet up before the next PKN event.

Location(s)

Creative people from Jacksonville and beyond will, for the first time on The First Coast, present their work in the 20x20 Pecha Kucha format at the first of four First Wednesday Art Walk Pecha Kucha Nights at MOCA. Actual show time is 8:20.

I thought about writing something profound, something with substance, something that would invoke a reaction for an action. I thought about it. Briefly.

But then–why not just sum this little shindig up;
If you combine things that were previously considered unrelated–then this a group to meet with.

We have not planned an initial meet-up but, we are looking. Chris Wojda ( http://www.brewgroup.org ) will also be meeting up for Likemind and BrewGroup sessions.

Here I am again. Unmotivated, unsuccessful, unpublished, undesirable, uneducated, unmarketable, unemployed me.

I applied for at least 50 jobs online today. The only phone calls I got back were from the phone company who had to change my service for me because I can't afford frivolous things like Caller ID, some credit card collection agencies and my mother.

As of this posting, mostly the Orlando pages are populated with content. Some pages don't yet exist - feel free to add links and information as you see fit, and try to follow the structure laid out by other pages. Don't feel offended if your content is edited or moved - that's the point of this system.

Help documents are coming soon.
