Excellent. Having read his books and following his online writings, I really appreciate the work he does for the web community as a whole - especially social networks. Not just with JavaScript - though he does a great job of keeping that neat and tidy - but with Microformats and extending rich structure to HTML.
I think there are exciting things to come with Portable Social Networks (Microformats, OpenID, etc) - and I look forward to hearing some of his thoughts on the matter.
Now I just have to find a way to AEA in Chicago……
Who wins at the design game? Microsoft? Apple? Functionality vs. appearance. It is a game to see who can design the most functional, beautiful, easy-to-use and practical interfaces to engage the human mind at least 18 hours of our waking days. We developed a humor bit on Microsoft’s response to the iPhone, called the MePhone. If you click on the phone, it brings up what we think Microsoft should include on their phone such as a “boot” button, “un-freeze” button, and many more! (it really is funny)
Sounds like it was very informative…wish I could have seen it.
