Better late than never, what did I make of @media last week?
- Number of talks that included LOL Cats: 1½
- Number of talks that included Rick Rolling: 2
- Number of talks that included comedy graphs: 2
- Number of talks that included mention of Twitter being down all the time: I lost count, but at least 4
There are a few technical subjects (HTML 5, WAI ARIA, jQuery) that I hope to post more about later so here are a few impressions of each session:
Jeffrey Veen included some of my favourite charts in his talk (I have favourite charts/graphs/maps – what do you mean that you don’t?). Indi Young made me think that every single project I’d ever worked on had been poorly planned. Drew McLellan says “everyone hates their CMS” and he’s right. According to Stuart Langridge the fact that we use 410 responses on VisitLondon.com puts us in a very elite group. Nate Koechley explained why what I do is really very important. Richard Ishida baffled the audience with Unicode.
Good fun all round, roll on 2009.
