Next month I’m hitting Las Vegas for MIX08. March is a pretty good conference month with ETech in San Diego (holy crap, what an ace program this year), MIX in Vegas and SXSW in Austin and although I’ve been pretty unimpressed by conferences as of late (one of the exceptions being Reboot which I was lucky enough to be a speaker at) I’m still looking forward to meeting some of the people attending Mix08 .
It’s my first time at the conference so I don’t really know what to expect although I’m curious about the news on IE8, the new interactive work Microsoft has been doing on Surface and the conference’s new User Experience track, that has a few familiar faces. That, and a week in Vegas should be pretty interesting.
I find that some of the best ideas I get are on travel days (odd, I know), and I hope to catch up on some thinking and reading - the result of which should be a handful of posts, both about Microsoft an...

Las Vegas Show From: virtual-vacation.com Post Date: 2008-11-21 07:26:15
A friend of my recently went to Las Vegas for a one-week vacation and also in celebration of her girlfriend’s 40th birthday. They really got a good package deal with airfare and hotel accommodation for around $500 each. When I heard about this, I am motivated to see Las Vegas one more time. I didn’t like the casinos much, as I don’t like to gamble my life savings away. But I love the night life of the city, the wonderful and colorful interior designs, and of course the famous Las Vegas S... more
Every now and then around the blogosphere someone who’s trying to alert people to this new “era” we call Web 2.0 messes up and loses focus. Either by talking about things that are clearly lacking in innovation, or by talking things that are not “2.0″ at all.
The thing is we’ve all seen DHTML, we’ve all seen image generation with PHP, we’ve all seen a lot of stuff before the year 2000. We can’t keep calling every fancy thing that happens t... more

Siteblimp, the PPC application we developed for the guys at ACS , relies on the Google Adwords API to provide its service to the users. We previously wrote about the problems of depending on 3rd party APIs , but nothing in writing comes close to real experience. This (somewhat technical) post highlights some of the problems we faced during the development stage, in hoping to illustrate some of the issues you may run into working with code you don’t control.
From initial goals... more
Techcrunch’s previous design, which I’ve done around June 2005 , resisted for almost a year and accompanied the blog in it’s tremendous growth to the 53.000 daily readers mark. Despite all its flaws (because there were a few, particularly to my eyes), it was recognized by the industry as a clear exercise on what “Web 2.0″ blog design was about. It’s not up to me to agree or disagree with that statement because I’d probably be biased, but this ... more
