Yes, I want to hit the frog design party. But stuff happens … hangovers, running into …

WJS is a unique event. Casual, intimate, informative and overwhelmingly fun. The format is particularly nice, with sessions that encourage audience participation and between–session–breaks that are perfect for talking directly with speakers and other attendees. Other than the format, the topics covered are great. Everything from high-level …

I love that #microformats are being talked about but it makes me sad when they aren't explained well. Perpetuates misconceptions. #mfgov (03/14/201012:18 pm)
