While at the University of Texas at austin, Todd Ross Nienkerk spent five years on the staff of the Texas Travesty, the largest college humor publication in the nation. The unique, meritocractic structure of the Travesty taught him every aspect of magazine production. Writing, illustration, photography, ad sales, distribution—Todd did a bit of everything, even spending two proud, lucky years as the Travesty’s editor-in-chief.
after graduating in May, 2005, with a ba in psychology and a bS in radio-television-film—at UT, radio and film are considered “sciences,” while psychology is merely an “art”—Todd spent a year working in an office, applying to various graduate creative writing programs and filing their all-too-speedy rejection letters.
Nuts to this, he told the voice in his head, and his friends and Todd started Four Kitchen Studios.
Here Todd shares a glimpse into the future with a presentation of a new Web 5.0 technology he has been working on in his...kitchen.

Christopher St. John stole this idea for his bar Camp Dallas 3 session. It was a good decision. amit Gupta and, indirectly, Dave McClure, James Levine and Paul Rademacher are excellent people to steal from.
Here's the idea: Get a group of geeks in a room. Have them yell out thirty or forty random words. Divide everyone up into teams of five. Each team picks two of the words and adds ".com" to form a company name. Give each team fifteen minutes to come up with a business plan, and five minutes to present to a panel of judges. Hilarity ensues.
For this go-round, the judges were Jim Young of Jambo and Giovanni Gallucci. The teams were LatexRobot.com (don't ask), g.littr.com (dumpster diving social network), UpTownish.com (high end dating for Dallas posers) and Toothbling.com (electronics for the mouth). The unanimous winner was g.littr.com, the strangely compelling and unsettlingly probably tool for those who live by the dumpster.
The key to running one of these things seems to be an absolutely ruthless approach to timing. Keep the pressure up, move things along, and you can get through four teams in an hour session with time to spare.
It's a total blast to watch a group of relative strangers gel into a startup team. The energy is addictive.

whurley and I stayed up all night Sunday-Monday an edited together a rough 6 minutes from the 36 hours of tape captured at barCampaustin II. We posted the video to YouTube, but in our sleep deprived state forgot to post it here; sorry all. Please pass it along to anyone and everyone as we hope it will help promote all things barCamp. We’ll also be adding sessions, round tables, and other videos at a rate of 2 or 3 a week for the next few weeks. So if there is something that happened and you missed it, you should be able to recapture the moment online in the near future.
barCamp is an international network of unconferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants — focusing on early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies and social protocols. The name is a playful allusion to its origins, with reference to the hacker slang term, foobar: barCamp arose as a spin-off and response to Foo Camp, an annual invitation-only unconference hosted by open source publishing luminary, Tim O'Reilly.
barCamps are organized (and evangelized) largely through the web, harnessing what might be called a Web 2.0 communications toolkit. by "open-sourcing" the organizational process of a Foo Camp unconference, that is, codifying it in a wiki and making that publicly available, barCamp seems to have struck a chord. It has since been implemented in 31 cities around the world and is serving as a reference for unconferences in other fields. The involvement of key figures in the web development community, such as Tantek Çelik and Ross Mayfield
