Come 730a, the body was less than electric, needless to say. The bus rescued me from a light drizzle, as I finished up the end of the last audiobook in the Twilight series—yeah, whatever, I think it was pretty damn inventive and my curiosity got me sucked into listening to all four books in about [...]

Sharon Rush – Knowbility.org

Sharon is basically going to “interview” Becky during this presentation.
Becky is showing off the ARIA example from the Secrets of Javascript Libraries presentation yesterday. ARIA stands for Accessible Rich Internet Applications. Long story short, ARIA is about assigning semantic roles to certain elements (specifically [...]

Version Control is better than Save As because it fosters a collaborative environment. Zach is using some stills from [...]

“Forms Suck” from Web Form Design: Filling in the Blanks by Luke W.
Think of someone that you know as a master of conversation, is a great communicator and their conversation is flowing. The primary [...]

“We have some good news, and the some bad news. The bad news is that CSS3 does not exist and has no plan for it to exist. The good news is that we’ve broken the CSS3 specification up so that individual modules can move on and we can start using them sooner.”

No rain on the way to the conference today, which was a pleasant change. The Rails presentations that I had been so excited about were ultra lame, but there were a few other presentations that I didn’t expect much out of that were actually pretty awesome.
I didn’t leave the conference until about 730p or so [...]

John Resig – jQuery
Dude from Prototype
Another dude from another js library
Becky Gibson – Dojo (accessibility)
Thanks to the dynamic timing of Austin’s transit system, I made it to this presentation just a few minutes before it began. It was SUPER packed—there were so many people and so few chairs that [...]
Platforms like MySpace & Facebook could learn some lessons about “friending” from platforms like Flickr and Plaxo. I’ve never really liked how platforms like MySpace and Facebook have only the default setting of “friend” available to assign your “contacts” to. Back when I had a MySpace account—in the early days of the platform—I absolutely refused [...]
Panel presentation: Elliot Jay Stocks, Ian Coyle, Jon Tan, Richard Rutter, & Samantha Warren
I had to wait in a goddamn line to get into this presentation that was already 2/3 of the way over—the room was way packed, more packed than any other presentation that I’ve been to so far, and they weren’t letting anyone [...]
Maybe I missed something pivotal during the first 15 minutes of this presentation, but I’m having trouble discerning exactly why there are approximately a billion people in this super hot and over-crowded room. Though I love Khoi’s work, and think that he is a design genious, his public speaking skills are not really sucking me [...]
