I’ve attended An Event Apart four years running now. It is, hands-down, the finest web conference around, and if you work on the web at all, whether you’re a designer, developer, copywriter, or client-services, I cannot recommend it highly enough. Reviewing my notes from previous conferences, I noticed that there were some running themes. Each [...]

An Event Apart Seattle 2009
The night before An Event Apart, I was at a party with some college friends. When they found out I was in town for a conference, they wanted to know what it was about. I said it was a web conference, and they said “Aren’t those usually held on the web?” Eventually, I explained it [...]

An Event Apart Seattle: The Day Before
Yesterday, Ryan and I got off the train in Seattle around 4pm. We caught a bus up to Hotel Andre, where we found we had a really nice suite on the 9th floor, where we had a bit of a view of the bay between a few apartment buildings. Since we had a few hours [...]

Sweet! An Event Apart (the web seminar run by Zeldman and Meyer) is coming to Seattle! “I’m going. That’s all there is to it. I’m fucking going.” “I know, baby! You dig it the most!” – Pulp Fiction
