It’s been good to be back in Brighton—especially over the past few days while Tantek has been around—but now it’s time for some more travel …and nipping up to the first day of UX London doesn’t count. I’m going to Shanghai. Shanghai! I know, right‽ Ostensibly, the reason I’m going to Shanghai —I just like repeating that—is to speak at an event called W3C Tech this weekend . But I’m not about to turn around and hop on the first flight back, so I’m going to be spend the week afterwards being a tourist. I fully expect to culture shocked but I’m really looking forward to this… Read the rest here

I was nervous as hell before my talk at An Event Apart Seattle . I don’t normally get quite so nervous but it was a new talk and also …it’s An Event Apart! They set a very, very high bar. Once I got on stage though, I just started geeking out. I was talking about design principles, a subject I find fascinating. I’m hoping that some of my enthusiasm for the subject helped make for a compelling presentation… Read the rest here

The first Event Apart of the year has just kicked off here in Seattle . Every Event Apart is excellent, but the Seattle instantiation has two extra things going for it: a great venue and a really great hotel with some colourful history . Jeffrey opened the proceedings with a long-zoom stroll down memory lane, giving us a history lesson of technology, the internet, the web and web standards. Reflecting on the history of the internet today seems especially poignant with the recent passing of Paul Baran . Which reminds me… Ten years ago, the Zelig-like Stuart Brand conducted an interview with Paul Baran. You can read the transcript on Wired . … Read the rest here

I’m enjoying a nice little break between conferences. I’m taking it easy with my in-laws in the warm climes of Saint Augustine, Florida where I’ve been spending my time soaking up the sun and gently freaking out about my upcoming talk at An Event Apart in Seattle . This downtime has finally given me the chance to catch up with hundreds of unread emails from the WHATWG and W3C HTML mailing lists. I may even attempt to catch up on my RSS feeds. This break comes at the just the right time after all the hustle and bustle of South by Southwest. I’m not the only one reflecting on this year’s event… Read the rest here

If you’re going to be speaking at a conference soon—for instance SXSW —here are my top 10 tips. Start with a story (but not your life story). Aim high and leave them wanting more. Entertain, inspire and educate (in that order). One concept per slide. Pictures not bullets. … Read the rest here

I’ve been back in Brighton for just a couple of days and now I’m about to embark on a fairly lengthy trip away to the States. Tomorrow I’m flying to a somewhat chilly Chicago. I’ve only been there once before, but I absolutely loved it. The architecture! The hot dogs! Cheeseborger! Cheeseborger! Cheeseborger! I’m going there for Drupalcon . I’ll be leading an HTML5 workshop on Monday. I’d love to try to Abe Froman my way into the Web Science Workshop the day before, but I’ll probably be too busy finding somewhere to print off workshop materials (a service the conference organisers are unwilling to provide …it’s like the opposite of how Sophie runs UX London ). … Read the rest here

Sketchnotes : Many of us probably know people who take notes at conferences by sketching. Eva-Lotta Lamm is one of these individuals, and she put her sketches from two years’ worth of conferences in a book, printed on demand by Lulu. Brilliant. Just ordered a copy. /via Quipsologies … Read the rest here

I’m back in the saddle this week after returning from Build , a conference in Northern Ireland, expertly assembled by Andy McMillan . It was a great event, and a nice way to cap off a busy year of speaking. Build was my last event till 2012. I decided I need some time off to recharge, focus on some other things, not be away from the family, and take a good long while before thinking about diving into Keynote again to construct a fresh talk. … Read the rest here

Our house edged a woods. We said the lady who lived there was a witch. by Jeffrey Zeldman A path cut through the woods, from our dead-end suburban circle to a main street on which stood Anastasia’s, a 5&10 that sold Spider-man comics and Pixy Stix. We’re not talking Fruit Roll-ups. This was pure dyed sugar in a straw. You lay on the ground, bit open the bottom of the straw, and red or purple or green sugar poured into your mouth. … Read the rest here

I’ve been pretty quiet as of late — except the deluge I usually subject my Twitter followers to. Fear not, as I have plenty to say and plenty of places to say it. November is turning out to be a busy month of speaking engagements as I cram four different events into the span of two weeks (with a possible fifth for good measure). One, two, three, four Starting things off is a trip to Malmo, Sweden for the Oredev conference being held on November 10 through 12. This three-day event is jam-packed with speakers and therefore jam-packed with information! I’ll have two sessions: one highlighting CSS3 and the other will be revisiting my talk on font-face embedding on the web, which has seen a continued evolution over the last year. … Read the rest here

TypeCon2010 in Los Angeles was my first typography conference. It felt good. I was made welcome, made new friends and renewed old acquaintances . I was there to soak up what’s happening now in typography, and to represent Fontdeck , who were very pleased to be a sponsor of the conference. Luke Dorny, Ale Paul, Grant Hutchinson & Corey Holms TypeCon felt like a tiny SxSW with far prettier schwag. As in Austin, the conference was as much about the corridor talk as the presentations, although 400 people (as opposed to 14,000) lent itself to a far more intimate atmosphere, but there was the same vibe of being allowed to geek out among like-minded souls. … Read the rest here
