plasticbag : Just so people know, I'll be doing an overview and introduction to Fire Eagle at the Future of Web Apps Expo in London in about a month - I talked a bit about Fire Eagle at Hack Day and at dconstruct yesterday, but we should be pretty close to letting people see things a little more clearly by then.

Richard Rutter : Building a Better Conference Badge - Bigger badge, bigger name, smaller conference details.
Cameron Moll : Building a Better Conference Badge - Mike Davidson: Building a Better Conference Badge. This might be construed as somewhat trivial, but Mike tackles a design issue that's been ignored at nearly every conference I've ever attended (many of which cover primarily, you guessed it, design topics

plasticbag : The d.Construct 2007 User Experience Design Conference has a pretty nice holding page - Good odds I'm going to be talking at d.Construct this year. Not certain by any means, but good odds.

plasticbag : Carson Systems are doing another Future of Web Apps conference in the UK - and this time it's a two day event like in San Francisco - I have to say that while I love talking at Carson events, I very much do not like the fear that I get for weeks beforehand. They're huge events and they fill me with ridiculous levels of fear.

plasticbag : The people who benefit most from talks and lectures are the people who give them - I completely believe this. It totally meshes with my experience. The whole process of preparing, practicing and dellivering talks pushes me to clarify my ideas and then keeps them in a nice memorable structure that I find really easy to retain.
jimray : Lectures Work Against the Brain - Talking at people for more than about five minutes is useless. Or, at least, counterproductive.
