CFUnited and the Nadel Offense

Posted by on Jul 15, 2010 in CFUnited, Conferences | 13 comments

In less than two weeks is the last CFUnited ever and my first opportunity at a coveted Ben Nadel Real Estate pic. I had the pleasure of meeting Ben briefly at CFUnited 2009, but somehow I missed the photo op.

I’m both sentimental and a t-shirt wh0%e, so I’ve gone overboard again. I’m going to see if I can collect enough t-shirts to change between every session like Cher, and I’m going to chase Ben down for a pic in every one of them to see which one winds up in his blog header. Mr. Nadel, being the nice guy that he is, has welcomed this challenge as one more way to make the last CFUnited an eventful one. Sucker!! :)

This is rather a last minute idea, so I guess we’ll need to work fast. If you want to donate a t-shirt to my cause, let me know through the CodeBass Contribute Content form, or DM me @fuzie on Twitter.  This will save me from having to decide what to pack!

The Renowned Ben Nadel Blog

Can't top Andy Allan's SotR2010 hat for style, so I'm going with making a royal PITA of myself instead.

By the way…

Scotch on the Rocks 2011

... better hurry to the SotR website if you plan to go!

I should plug Ben’s awesome blog here, but who am I telling? Anyone reading this has probably already absconded with code samples from there at least once!

Only one other CodeBass t-shirt in existence has the endangered #monkehRadio monkeh on it. What “lucky” person will become the owner of it on Friday? Ben’s monkey doesn’t appear to dig monkeh, but I bet Ben does. ;)

Disclaimer: @coldfumonkeh is still working on an official #monkehRadio monkeh. That’s a stock monkeh. Keep an eye on www.monkehradio.com where the official monkeh will eventually appear.

    @Jason Some dude who works out a lot and uses Homesite to write strangely formatted code.

    He’s that guy that uses that language… what is it? Cold Fusion? I dunno. Some dead language. :p Apparently he gets in bar fights over it. :D

    ** JEALOUS **

    BEN NADEL IS A GHOD! ;)

    If I were not stuck in some Groundhog Day launch from hell, it would be you and me chasing that man down everyday.

    I need to figure out how to get my pic taken from 500 miles away … :)

    Hilarious fun. Can’t wait to see the results!

    Anyone reading this has probably already absconded with code samples from there at least once a week!
