Chris Heuer on Brainjams

I love this explanation of how the upcoming Brainjams in DC came about:

[from Chris’ Insytes: BrainJams DC: A slow but steady start by Chris Heuer]

I just got off the phone with Greg Narain who is working on his new startup called SyncPeople. You may have heard of him from his Beercasting days. We can directly trace the lineage of BrainJams back to him - because if it was not for his random phone call one day last spring from my registration for a beercasting event in Florida, I never would have went to Gnomedex, which means I never would have met Will Pate, which means I probably never would have gone to BarCamp - where I met the people who inspired me to take action myself. Which in the end, is what I am really trying to get across to people - that anyone can take action using the amazing and free, easy to use Web tools that are available to bring people together and make a difference.

Everything is everything.
