   I do believe it’s ’stylee’.

   Nice. I noticed MacBooks — great machines for webdesigners :).
   BTW: Gum wall looks dirty :|

   Either spelling is correct, depending on meaning:

   stylie

   1. adj., adv., being totally sweet; performing a task with mad skills; making something be kickshyt.

   Pedro has stylie argyle socks.
   Batman hit that shit all stylie.

   2. A caucasian person with dreadlocks.

   “That stylie over there is such a poseur.”

   vs.

   stylee

   1. From Jamaican patois stylistical derivation: It means “style.” Currently the overused word of choice for British music critics, even (or especially) when it’s completely inappropriate.

   “Melodically, this track would hardly sound out of place, reworked in a Euro stylee, representing the UK at Eurovision.”

   2. style or manner

   ‘Drop that science in the T-Dot stylee’

   Probably the way I intended it is closer to stylee than stylie. Sort of stylee definition 2 (i.e. style) but with some stylie definition 1 (sweet) flavor. Lots to think about.

   I always knew that one day a photo of mine would end up on your blog. Actually, this is completely unexpected.

   But anywho…fantastic conference, especially for someone in the middle of a redesign/realign/refresh of their site. :-)

   It was a great conference, I was very happy to attend. I was at the Philly AEA and I have to say that the venue this time around was much, much nicer, especially the food, wow, I wasn’t expecting such a spread.

   Added a few of my photos to the group.

   How long has it been? A week? I’m going through withdrawals. I had better sign up for more AEAs. -)

    Shucks. Thanks for the kind words, Jason and Thomas, and thanks for coming! We really appreciate it. We’re hoping to set up a frequent flyer-type program in 2007. Thanks again.
