One of my favorite moments from the original Battlestar Galatica


Catching up with FOWD New York

Future of Web Design - New York 2008

Logically, the next step after perusing through the excellent FOWA London archive was to travel forward in time and view the Future of Web Design – New York 2008 videos.

At first I felt disappointed in the ammount of materials available. After a quick check it turns out that I liked 25% of the materials vs. the 10% of really excellent talks in the previous conference. Quality vs. quantity I guess. Each are good depending on your mood. ;)

Of the New York talks, I found the following to be the most useful.

Of course, Paul Boag really steals the show here and rightly so. His presentation is jam packed with a metric butt ton of valuable insight into dealing with and educating clients.

You would think this is one of those rare once in a conference speaches but honestly, he does an amazing job on almost every time he opens his mouth. I highly recommend you take a auditory gander at the Boagworld Web Design Podcast if  you work in the web industry. Always excellent education, insightful interviews and amusing banter too. :)


Catching up with FOWA London

Future of Web Apps 2009

I’ve been pretty busy and productive in the last few months. New rental condo, furniture procurement, learning new tech, spending more time with family and very recently, purchasing a new (used) car.

Now that things are more in order I find I am able to choose were to spend my time. Frequently this involves thinking about previous initiatives that were placed on hold since they were not crucial either my wife or myself.

One such goal was to peruse all the free videos from last year’s Future of Web Apps – London 2008 conference.

Of all the London talks, I found the following to be the most useful.

I truly appreciate Carsonified for posting these materials. I am also proud to say I will be attending their upcoming FOWA Miami event on February 24th as a paying customer.
