Scenes From Bob Young's New Tech Circus

Posted by timothy on from the circuses-need-elephants dept.

Chris Strider writes "Bob Young has left Red Hat, but he's still been keeping busy. I recently went to his new venture, the Lulu Tech Circus. I have to admit some of the stuff there was pretty cool, especially the robotics. On the other hand, some of it was pretty weird, like the electronic band with the alien heads. Anyway, the local online TV station RTPTV.com put up some video scenes from the Circus if you want to watch it."

    1) wmv format files? *groan*
    1a) Thanks, mplayer!

    2) instructions: "view it with the Windows Media Player that's found on almost all PC's" *groan*

    3) I got no sound with the video.

    Wish I could have went to Lulu though.

    The website linked to may require Windows Media Viewer, but if you had engaged your brain while reading the Slashdot article you would notice that it's not Lulu Tech Circuses website. It is in fact a TV station website *reporting* on Lulu Tech Circus.

  3. Decent show, not the best organization by ticklejw · · Score: 4, Informative

    I was there too. I really had a good time, but IMO it was a little badly arranged. They had the FIRST robotics team right next to one of the, umm, lecture halls, and we couldn't understand a word of what the Pragmatic Programming dude had to say.

    But overall it was pretty cool, definitely expensive though. If they work on the organization a bit and it comes back through here again, I'll probably go again.

    Oh, ps, the Asian girl they had "introducing" people to the place was hot. Keep her around and I'll definitely come back :-P
