• @milesb I just wrote a book, too, about webdev no less! Books are not dead, Lynne just says they need to be downloadable. Mine is! #wds08 #
  • Awesome to learn that support for SVG exists in Mobile Safari too! Dmitry’s #wds08 preso is very cool. Can’t wait to brush up on my SVG. #
  • SVG and Canvas support make front end devs like me scary for Flash developers cuz we can do graphics like them. Thanks #wds08 for that! #
  • Just asked about accessibility of SVG but sadly the answer is still no. Accessible SVG would be AMAZING for search engines, too. #wds08 #
  • @ProblmLikeMaria #wds08 is the @hashtags code for the @webdirections @WebDirectSth08 conference I’m attending today. It’s a geek fest. <3! #
  • Teale Shapcott’s #wds08 talk on usability is really a Scrum 101 talk. Noone else here does it yet?! Only Penny & I raised hands when asked! #
  • Best from #wds08 Teale’s talk 1 Buy design time with complex tech stories 2 Use the UI prototype as the design spec. 3 Do parallel track dev #
  • Talked and swapped business cards during #wds08 lunch. People love the "Styling XML with CSS" idea for my upcoming dev book with @sanbeiji. #
  • Great foundation on HCI in Gabriel’s #wds08 talk. Great phrase: explicit declarative vs implicit gestural, physical world as system UI. #
  • Excellent point Gabriel just made: humans = good social sensors so often software should inform & leave the choice of action to users #wds08 #
  • Gabriel answers my #wds08 question "Is it more XMPP-like standards we need? What’s the blockade?" Answer: Power play in the mobile industry. #
  • Douglas Crockford is slumping in his seat during Jeff Croft’s #wds08 preso. I wonder if celebs are bored at cons like this due to redundancy #
  • Must get Robert Bringhurst’s book The Elements of Typographic Style. Typography is beautiful like music, even shares the same terminolog … #
  • @TjoosDude I’m at #wds08 on my employer’s budget, I didn’t pay & I’m currently local to Sydney. Employer was happy to let me network here. #
  • Watching a clip of Seinfeld at the #wds08 closing keynote tonight. This is awesome! The Opposite, a great clip and very poignant! And funny! #
  • Did anyone else notice the terrible kerning in August’s super principles slide headlines? That said, #wds08 preso is FANTASTIC & educational #
  • The whole NUI idea takes the direct manipulation interaction design pattern to a new level. Very cool but SO academic, even for #wds08. #
  • Enjoyed networking at the after party and now at a bar for the TUB meeting talking about social media business strategy after #wds08. #
  • Totally geeked out about OOP programming and microchip design w/ a young, awesome Geek Girl, @miriamp. Now home to prep for #wds08 day 2 #
  • An awesome #wds08 day. Saw great presentations & made connections w/some awesome Melbourne folks: @suziam, @mspecht, @miriamp. Bedtime soon! #
  • @milesb Thanks for your kind words on http://tinyurl.com/mywebbook I’ll definitely be at #wds08 tomorrow, so (everyone) please do say hello! #
  • Struggling to wake up to make it to my second day of #wds08. I am SO not a morning person. Why can’t these things start at 10 instead of 9? #
  • It occurs to me now how rusty my New York speed walk is while trying to do it to get to #wds08 on time this morning. Punctuality FAIL. #
  • Yes, this is funny, but honestly I feel so bad for the tech person who has to deal with this #wds08 keynote projector failure. #
  • Veen’s great point at #wds08 keynote applicable to so much in life: information design is about helping people make meaning out of data. #
