KRTConf Sponsorship = We So Excited

I’m thrilled to announce that we’re sponsoring the first ever Keeping it Realtime Conference! We’ll be storming the Left Bank Annex on November 7th and 8th armed with video equipment, curious brains, and a mission to share whatever happens with the world.

This is a great opportunity for Rocket Lift in several ways. First, we get to soak up knolwedge from brilliant colleagues who use their ninja powers to make the web better. (Have you seen the presenter list!?)

Second, we’ve been enjoying working with other software makers in a supportive role*, and we hope to do more of the same. KRTConf is a great opportunity for us to network, introduce our little startup to a community we really admire, and show off some video skills.

Third, we get to give a little back to open source culture. ’Nuff said.

Finally, KRTConf is an opportunity to hang out with some damn good friends. The conference organizers at &yet, and many on the attendees list, are some of my favorite people. These are caring, generous, hilarious, and fun nerdfolk who write cutting edge code, school most of us in design, and go out of their way to foster community near and far. It’ll be awesome to be among them IRL.

You should go.

If you’re a web developer who wants to be a better web developer, why you’re waiting to claim a ticket is a good question.

See you there!

Like the arrow that springs from the bow



“All my life, I have had doubts about who I am, where I belong. Now I’m like the arrow that springs from the bow. No hesitation, no doubts. The path is clear.”
