I’ve been looking forward to this week for some time now. I’m going to meet some people from twitter, port80 and a lot more. It’s conference time! I’ll be warming up with the monthly port80 meeting at Velvet Lounge tonight, my second time there. Seems like a lot of people will be coming today too.
Tomorrow is Edge of the Web conference day. There’s so much to choose from, but at the moment my day looks like this:
- Opening Keynote by Derek Featherstone
- Hacking humans: Advocating for a better web by Ben Buchanan
- Designing with Creative Code by Cameron Adams
- Adobe AIR by Kai Koenig, or Involving users by Donna Spencer
- Pushing the Boundaries on Content-Rich Websites by Russ Weakley
- Either Developing for the iPhone or SaaS as an Ecosystem.
- Usability for Designers, Developers, and Decision Makers by Lisa Herrod
- Closing Keynote by Chris Messina
If that doesn’t make me brain explode with new info I’ll be found at the WebJam 9 in the evening.
Friday is workshop day. For me the first half will be theoretic with Donna Spencer talking about Information Architecture, after lunch it’ll be hands on javascripting with Cameron Adams.
After all that I might just take the weekend off.

it has been a pretty interesting 2 days. and that workshop today with Donna Spencer, maybe a little theoratical, but surprisingly better than i expected. At least i got more ammo now to bring to my manager’s table at work!
Would have loved to stay and chat longer with you after lunch mate, but sorry we had to get back to the office =(
Maybe next year! oh and btw, i’m the dude with the silly hair-do parted to the left =P
Totally agree. I feel so inspired and keen on trying out all sorts of things. Almost wish I had a manager I could bring my ammo to too! :)
