BarCamp Palo Alto is quickly becoming an annual Silicon Valley spectacle. Local startups open up their offices on the weekend to hundreds of fellow developers to showcase products and share skills. Aron Pruiett captured the hustle and bustle of event.
Also: Robert Scoble’s entertaining interview with Marc Canter, co-founder of Macromedia; Tom Foremski meets IncSync; and Paul Deninger tells us why the VC industry is in trouble.

If you attempt to use the American marketplace to force this tough life on its laborers then I find no problem with using tax dollars to protect me from such a regime. If you poison the people of this nation with a doctrine that is antithetical towards freedoms, then the jurisdiction you seek, if you seek universal, is an assault that will not be taken lightly.
