I’ve been on a little trip to Copenhagen. Usually when I go to Denmark, it’s for Reboot but alas, there is no Reboot this year. Instead, I was there for Drupalcon . I have to admit, it was quite a surprise to be asked to speak at a Drupal event. … Read the rest here
An interview with Think Vitamin : While I was in London for the Future of Web Design conference this past May, I had the pleasure of chatting with Keir Whitaker from Carsonified about Dribbble . You can also find the audio over at Huffduffer
Just before noon (Eastern U.S. time) today, An Event Apart Minneapolis sold its last available seat. That’s three events so far in 2010 and three sell-outs. If you were hoping to join us in Minneapolis but hadn’t registered yet, we’re sorry we won’t see you there! You can contact our Event Manager to get put on the waiting list, or you can join us for one of the remaining two shows of the year: Washington DC and San Diego . There are strong reasons to prefer either one. In Washington DC , we’ll have our second-ever A Day Apart , a full day of in-depth learning with Jeremy Keith and Ethan Marcotte taking on the topics of HTML5 and CSS3, respectively… Read the rest here

All of a sudden, people have been asking me to yak about myself and stuff that I know (or at least think I know). These things tend to come in waves, and right now I’m surfing like a search engine’s crawlerbot. I don’t think that metaphor made any sense at all. Anyway, here’s what I’ve had to say so far: The Geek Talk: Eric Meyer

Web Design Concepts for Non-Web Designers : These slides are from a HOW presentation given by Matthew Richmond, aka Chopping Block . The slide format uses HTML5 and is based on the HTML5 Slideshow by Marcin Wichary, Ernest Delgado, Alex Russell, and Brad Neuberg. What
The @media conference has been a constant star in the UK web standards community since 2005. This year, the baton was smoothly passed to those awesome aussies, John and Maxine of Web Directions, creating the hybridly-titled Web Directions @media that took place in London last week. Before the conference proper, there were two days of workshops in the Hogwartsian location of the superbly-named Goodenough College . I spent a day on Getting semantic with microformats and HTML5 . I think it went pretty well. I came to the conclusion that it’s easier to explain everything about microformats than to explain the new outline algorithm in HTML5. … Read the rest here

I’ve never over-run on a talk. Ever. Usually I embarrasingly finish around 10 mins early, leaving plenty of time for questions. Until last week at Future of Web Design that is. When it came down to the last 5 minutes, I realised I had a lot more to go, and had to really hurry the last couple of sections. Thankfully the feedback so far has been positive, but I promise this will be (probably) be the last time I talk on this subject. … Read the rest here
Earlier this week I presented a talk at the Web 2.0 Expo titled “ HTML5 vs. Flash: Webpocalypse Now? ” which seemed to be pretty well received. That might be because I did my best to be unbiased about the situation both now and into the future, and also that the audience was very heavily weighted toward web stack practitioners. Seriously, out of 100-150 audience members, about six raised their hand when I asked who was developing with Flash… Read the rest here
