Nice people sometimes ask where the videos of my talks are. Well, most of my presentations have not been recorded, were screwed up during recording, are being sat on by the organisers, or were recorded in the dark without a mic.
I can’t wait any longer. It has taken me over a week to collate all that follows, with videos, slides, images and reports still appearing day by day. I’m channeling my enthusiasm and pooling almost everything from the last two weeks into this post for your pleasure.
In early 2006, a book called CSS Mastery was published. Written expertly by Andy, it also featured case studies from Cameron and myself, plus a foreword from Dan.
The almost-annual Geek In The Park get-together takes place this Saturday (15th August) in Leamington Spa. I will be hammering on about Nailing Your Own Projects, and Remy will be probing HTML5 and Friends. If you can make it, we’d all love to see you, even if - like my good self - you hate the idea of being a “geek”. Still, it trumps “nerd”. Or “spod”.
The Netherlands (Leiden specifically) will be like some sort of EE honeypot on 22nd and 23rd October 2009, for the inaugural ExpressionEngine & CodeIgniter Conference (EECI2009). Here’s a bit more detail…
It’s turning into a busy speaking year. As well as a few business and university talks, I recently presented as part of the Future Of Web Apps Tour, which went down a treat. I’ve got @Media coming up in a couple of weeks, and something special in October (more soon).
A week or so back, shortly after bringing Erskine Socials into the world, we quietly (finally) launched our shared blog, named Erskine Labs. As I explain in the introductory post...
Our Erskine Socials will be an umbrella for a variety of meet-ups; a series of occasional discussions, talks and events for web designers, developers and beer drinkers from Nottingham and beyond.
Last month’s .net magazine (Practical Web Design outside the UK) featured a smashing two-page interview and profile of us fine folks.
Extra bit of speaking news. I’ll be presenting Knowing Your Audience on the Leeds leg of the freshly-announced Future Of Web Apps Tour, landing in Yorkshire on 28th May 2009. The tour also takes in Edinburgh, Bristol and Cambridge. Hoping I genuinely get picked up in a double-decker bus, but more likely it’ll be the train. See you there?
