<p>At some point in my childhood, one of my four younger siblings coined the phrase <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=geeking+out">geeking out</a> to call attention to someone was uncontrollably excited. If one of us started geeking out the rest of us would be quick to call them on it. The only known cure was to hurl the offender into a pile of freshly raked leaves, a snow bank, or a sprinkler.</p> <p>Gregg Pollack, head of the <a href="http://www.orug.org">Orlando Ruby User&#8217;s Group</a> has now captured me geeking out in this video to promote <a href="http://www.barcamporlando.org/">BarCampOrlando</a>.</p> <p><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DsGWuXywZ6o"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DsGWuXywZ6o" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object></p> <p>Well I can&#8217;t deny it, I am very excited about attending <a href="http://www.barcamporlando.org/">BarCampOrlando</a>. Come geek out with us at <a href="http://www.tastecp.com/">Taste</a> on Sunday September 23rd and discover why Orlando is quickly becoming one of the top technology centers in the country. And no worries; there will be no leaves, sprinklers, and certainly no snow anywhere near Taste. Just a full bar, awesome food, and great presentations from some of the leading minds in Orlando (and me).</p>
