wherein the author rambles about @media 2006

June 18 2006

So it took me a couple of days to gather my scattered brain as the flight/alergies combining leaving me feeling a bit off.

@Media in a word was wicked, in two, wondrously wicked. The stuff I learned there is really invaluable to my working life as a web designer and really has given me the kick in the arse I’ve been needing to really get stuff done.

A lotta people were blogging during the sessions, so you’ll probably find more info from those guys, I felt I should just talk about what I found the most important thing of the whole conference. The tone.

See I’ve been to these things before and most of the time, we’re talking about some guy, sitting at a laptop talking about how cool this stuff is and spouting off buzzwords. Here we had a more relaxed atmosphere, speakers who don’t take themselves too seriously and will say what’s on their minds. Personally I think this makes for a better experience.

Anyway, the whole thing has got me thinking about this site, so I’ve started work on a summer redesign, that I’m about 2/3 into. This time I’ll be bringing a greater focus onto doing web design and the projects I’m working on, as well as rolling my retrosuper sketchblog into this and giving my photography more consideration.

Ah direction, it smells so sweet!
