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

I gave a presentation last week as part of the HTML5 Online Conference . There seems to be more and more of these virtual events in the style of Aral’s Head conference .

It’s been a week since I got back from An Event Apart Seattle 2010 , and I’m still aglow about it. I know it’s something a cliché for conference organizers to say “it was the best show we ever done did!” but damn . It really was. That’s down to the speakers, of course. … Read the rest here

I’m about to head off to Austin for South by Southwest , the annual Bacchanalian geek festival. I’m speaking on a panel again, but this year, the emphasis is very squarely on having fun. MJ very kindly asked me to represent the British contingent on her How to Rawk SXSW panel. It will be a fun, if somewhat bittersweet affair: Brad Graham was also going to be on the panel. Ol’ bastard Death has put paid to that. … Read the rest here

HOW Conference Early Bird Discount Ends March 12 : I

One of the things you discover as a speaker and, especially, a conference organizer is this: Keynote generates really frickin’ enormous PDFs. Seriously. Much like Miles O’Keefe, they’re huge . We had one speaker last year whose lovingly crafted and beautifully designed 151-slide deck resulted in a 175MB PDF. Now, hard drives and bandwidth may be cheap, but when you have four hundred plus attendees all trying to download the same 175MB PDF at the same time, the venue’s conference manager will drop by to find out what the bleeding eyestalks your attendees are doing and why it’s taking down the entire outbound pipe. Not to mention the network will grind to a nearly complete halt… Read the rest here
