It's online
The session made mekind of famous among
geeks in ASEAN.
I know everybody expects me to do something even more.
BUT...
it's DIFFICULT!
Everybody asked me to do "episode2"...
BUT...
I'm still single, how can I tell them?
I thought of doing...

BUT...
I shouldn't do that...I'm not a comedian.
so... "episode2" means...
about my life after the session.
Here is the real topic title...
HOW #BarcampCHANGED MY LIFE
by real Japanese Barcamper@31o5
It did change my life.
BEFORE
I was just a creature who loves being online.
But afraid of getting close to strangers online.
I had some geeky friends in offline life, but not much.
There were no strangers in my friend list of SNS.
I've never accepted friend request from strangers.
I'd never uploaded photos of myself online.
Tried not to write my real name online.
My data online were something about I'm interested in, but not
about myself.
If you know someone only online, your brain try to figure
out what he/she is like.
People imagine what 31o5 is like from my online activities.
Some thought I'm a geeky man.
Some thoughtI'm a Thai.
Some people searched about me, but couldn't find any
photos of 31o5.
so... I was just like...
This.
AFTER
Everybody blogged about #BarcampBangkok2.
and tagged as#BarcampBangkok2
Many people mentioned about my session on their blog.
and tagged as#31o5
And tweeted about it.
And uploaded photos.

Even on TV!
Sorry no screen shot.
Someone did Khmer version of it at #BarcampPP
Thai geeks started asking me"DAIJOBU?"
and... I setup a company,with my partner in Tokyo
and my previous company.
WHAT HAPPENED TO ME
Got lots of followers on twitter.com
Got many friend requests on facebook.com
but sorry, I don't accept request on facebook if I don't know you...
A Barcamper from Malaysia contacted me and invited me to
#BarcampJB.
When I went to #BarcampJBI didn't know anybody,but people knew me.
When I was dancing in a club(I love night clubbing)
A guy came to me and said(I was almost ignoring him)
"Your session was brilliant!"
Someone spoken to me like...
"Are you the one who did the dating session?"
WHAT I've GOT
Lots of friends!
Geeky techies in Thailand.
and in Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, India and Japan.
Getting connected to many people brings...
more people,
more exciting experiences,
huge motivation,
knowledges,
ideas,
and MORE.
also I've got
One of my staff :D
WHAT I LOST
Some of my privacy...
and modesty....(I believe I had some before)
and some money....(traveling to join #Barcamps)
#Barcamp changed my life.
Without taking part of #Barcamp, I don't think my life
was like this now.
and I do enjoy my life :D
#Barcamp changes something
Your life will be a little different from TODAY :)
Arigato gozaimashita.@31o5
