      <title>Ruby Hoedown TeeVee - &amp;quot;Hee Haw!&amp;quot;</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/files/hoedown.png" class="tease-image"/&gt;
I notice that master werewolves 
Coby Randquist and Carl Youngblood
have gotten all of the 
&lt;a href="http://rubyhoedown2007.confreaks.com/"&gt;videos from the 
inaugural Ruby Hoedown&lt;/a&gt; (at least
in rough cut form) on their confreaks website.
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;m stoked about this, and the site in general.  
Like the way &lt;a href="http://www.infoq.com/"&gt;infoq web publishes presentations&lt;/a&gt;, confreaks
shows synchronized live action video and the &amp;#8220;slides&amp;#8221;, however I like the confreaks site better.
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The &amp;#8220;slides&amp;#8221; are directly captured as video from the presenters laptop.  The big plus here is that
live demos are also there.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The presentation is &amp;#8220;widescreen&amp;#8221; with the two components laid out side by side, which I think 
works better.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As for content, there was lots of good stuff at the hoedown which is now available for viewing on-line.  &lt;a href="http://rubyhoedown2007.confreaks.com/"&gt;Check it out.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>See You at the Hoedown?!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/files/hoedown.png" class="tease-image"/&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This weekend, the &lt;a href="http://ruby.meetup.com/3/"&gt;Raleigh Ruby Brigade&lt;/a&gt;
is hosting the &lt;a href="http://www.rubyhoedown.com/"&gt;Ruby Hoedown&lt;/a&gt;, at Red Hat Headquarters in Raleigh, NC.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ll be there, so if you will be too, and you want to beat me up about something I&amp;#8217;ve written here, 
or just want to talk, look me up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
