What are you doing at 9am after tonight’s party?

09/29/2008 07:58 pm by Aral Balkan in Conferences

A quick reminder that the session I'm presenting tomorrow at FOTB has changed. My new session is called Grab the low-hanging fruit: or 5 rules for Hedonistic Creatives. The session may have changed but, lest you worry, it's still taking place at the awesome time of 9am. So, once you've left tonight's party at Audio, [...]

I’m in Brighton!

09/26/2008 04:05 pm in Conferences

Finally made it after… about 16 hours of travel. Got to the airport a couple hours early like a good boy, to discover all flights to the UK were seriously backed up due to busted radar or something. Then, when we finally got over there, we had to wait close to an hour after landing [...]

Four Days to Brighton!

09/22/2008 05:26 pm in Conferences

Four days from now I’ll be in Brighton for the annual Flash on the Beach bash. The last couple years I went up to London and hung out with Tink for a couple days before the conference itself, which was great. But this year I’m going to switch it up a bit and head straight [...]

FlashForward 2008: Friends, Flash and Fire!

08/24/2008 10:37 pm in Conferences

It’s been a cool Flashforward this year - my first for a while but I enjoyed the new one-track format (with short, occasionally bizarre couch-discussions between speakers), drugs advocation (thanx Robert!) and the largest conference screen i think i’ve ever seen (see above). Too many people have asked now so i just want to clear up [...]

FlashForward 2008 Retrospective

08/24/2008 02:08 am in Conferences

In addition to the play-by-play, I wanted to give an overall response to the conference. Personally, I enjoyed the hell out of it. I applaud Beau and crew for taking a big risk on changing up the format. It really worked for me. There was no decisions about which presentation to see or problems with having [...]

FlashForward Day 2 and 3

08/24/2008 01:38 am in Conferences

Carrying over from the last post, Thursday wrapped up with Lynda Weinman and Erik Natzke. Lynda talked about her views on education. A bit of a dry presentation - page after page of bullet points, few if any images and Lynda mostly just reading the points and elaborating a bit. But maybe I’m just bitter [...]

08/22/2008 12:33 am in Conferences

So, FlashForward opened yesterday morning with the Cultural Ambassador from Slovenia, Miha Pogacnik, as the keynote speaker. Unfortunately, I was back stage with Grant Skinner, waiting to go on stage, so I didn’t get to see him. After Miha, I was first up. The stage is really huge and probably the biggest screen I’ve ever seen, [...]

See the Data, Be the Data

08/20/2008 11:50 pm by ScaleNine Blog in conferences

Tony Hillerson and I did a presentation on exploring the world of data visualization while at 360|Flex San Jose. We were late getting our stuff together, so the presentation and source code wasn’t on the thumb drive handed out at the conference. Thanks for everyone who showed up, and all great feedback we got. Tony has [...]

I’m at FlashForward

08/20/2008 02:56 am in Conferences

Arrived in San Francisco around 1pm. Just before we landed I was looking over some conference logistics stuff I’d printed out, and the guy sitting beside me asked if I was going to FlashForward. Turns out he was too. So we shared a cab back to the Fairmont. Got checked in and took another cab [...]

New session announcements at the Singularity Web Conference

08/19/2008 09:23 am by Aral Balkan in Conferences

I just added a sessions list to the Singularity Web Conference site so you can easily skim the announced sessions in one place. The topics are eclectic and range from First "Principles of Web Accessibility" by Mike Davies from Yahoo! to "The best way to predict the future is to invent it" by Carlos Ulloa of [...]

And I, too, will also be going to FlashForward as well.

08/15/2008 10:05 pm in Conferences

I’ve been working in NYC all this week. Heading back to Boston in a couple of hours to spend a couple of days with the family, then Tuesday morning I’m off to San Francisco for FlashForward. At first I was pretty skeptical about FF with the recent acquisition, but it’s shaping up nicely and I’m really [...]
