Dan Saffer (who gave a great presentation at SXSW about Learning Interaction Design from Las Vegas) posted a few links to some great videos from the TED conference. I especially liked this video of Malcolm Gladwell speaking about things we can learn from spaghetti sauce or as Dan put it, “why you shouldn’t design for everyone”:

Just got home from the April Blogger Meetup. I had never gone before and met a bunch of interesting people, took a few photos and had some good beer.
If the Canucks had won game one of the second round of the playoffs, it would have been a perfect night but they didn’t but it was still a pretty good night so I can’t complain.
Cheers to everyone I met tonight…I hope to see you all next time.
Update: Jan has posted a good recap of all in attendance with their links – thanks Jan!
As you can see from the image at the right, I took the 2007 A List Apart Web Design Survey. You should too if you work in the industry (or want to, or do it as a hobby). Click the image to get more info and to take it.
Should be interesting to see the results.
Here’s a great video to help explain what RSS is to people that aren’t geeks:
Great job Lee and Sachi!
I’ve always liked these kinds of photos and got inspired to go out and play on the highway overpass last night:
I still need to play around with the raw versions of these pictures and see if I can get some cool HDR photos out of them. Note the yellow ‘dashed’ light on the first one – someone taking a bit too long to get off the highway.
There are a few others in my Flickr set…including a couple at the waterfront in North Vancouver…but some kind of lens flare happened on a few of them…not sure how to fix that. A lens hood maybe?
As a web geek, this site just blows me away in it’s creativity:
Check it out…I’m off to see if I need to upgrade my fridge for my next web project.

Robert Scoble has posted his video of the Digital Photography session Kris Krug put on at Northern Voice that I attended last February.
This is the session that helped reignite my interest in photography after being away from it for awhile. Since that time I’ve posted over 2200 photos to my Flickr account. I can’t believe it’s been that many..although many are older photos, it helped remind me why I like taking pictures in the first place.
It’s also made me begin to lust after a Digital SLR camera.
I’m impressed with the quality of the video Robert got considering he was just sitting in the front row and would just swing his camera around on his monopod to catch the audience comments and questions.
