Wow, we must say, the response has been overwhelming from "yeah, I like it" to "it's cool" and even "I didn't fall asleep" we're just stacking up the kudos (bars) from the audiences at The Web414 Show.... and you're in luck, as we'll be taping a new episode this week Thursday, June 11th, 2009 at 7:00 PM in the World Famous Bucketworks Flowspace...

If you're interested in being a part of the studio audience, you need to be able to clap on demand, and laugh at HeyGabe's jokes... OK, well, just clap on demand then.

See you Thursday! http://web414.com/node/870

I've been working on a documentary film titled "Balancing Act" since the spring of 2008. Most of the work so far has been in shooting, but I'd like to start putting out some promos, or bits and pieces of the footage I've found interesting.

In this short clip, James Carlson, Executive Director of Bucketworks, talks about where the idea for Bucketworks came from.

PhotoCampMilwaukee is happening May 2, 2009 at Bucketworks!

So what is a PhotoCamp? Hopefully this brief presentation will explain a few things...

PhotoCampMilwaukee will be held on Saturday May 2, 2009 at Bucketworks, located at 1340 N. 6th Street in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

You don’t have to be a great photographer to attend, you just have to bring your passion for photography. The event will be free (thanks to our sponsors) and the only entrance fee is your participation.

Could we be anymore excited for PhotoCampMilwaukee? It’s coming up soon... Saturday, May 2, 2009 right here at Bucketworks.

PhotoCampMilwaukee will bring together amateurs and professionals, and anyone else who loves photography. If you take it seriously, or just like to have fun with it, have something to teach, or something you'd like to learn... come on down and share in this amazing day encompassing all things photography related.

What are you waiting for... Registration is now open!

I'm excited about the March Web414 Meeting on Thursday, March 12th, 2009, as we'll be discussing creativity challenges via the web... be it taking photos, making music, or writing words... how can taking on a challenge, right out in the open, help (or hurt) your creativity? Are you better creating in private and the unleashing your work to an unsuspecting world?

Have you taken on the RPM Challenge? NaNoWriMo? 365 Photos? We'd love to hear from you, come and share your experiences...

We had about 30 to 40 people for MilwaukeeDevHouse3 on Friday November 21st, 2008... with people working on various projects, or just hanging out and socializing.

Wow, did you realize that BarCampMilwaukee3 is just a few weeks away?

It's Oct 4th/5th, 2008 at Bucketworks in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

It's a free event where tech geeks, web nerds, programmers, designers, hackers, social media freaks, media makers, and other passionate people get together and share what they know in an open environment.

Sing up, and show up... it's a good time.

On July 5th, 2008 we interviewed James Carlson, the director of Bucketworks in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Talking to James gives a fascinating look into someone who has the desire and drive to do amazing things, not just for themself, but for the community.
