The Thug team and I attended the UIE Roadshow session in Portland this year. Being a UX type group of designers and new media thinkers we thought it would be right up our alley. And it was, but I couldn't help but feel like I already knew a large number of the concepts discussed. Unfortunately, I had to cut out a bit early to make it back for a client meeting, but it was great to spend most of the day at the session and workshop. We also all went out for some tasty Chinese food for lunch.

Some of my favorite sessions over the past few days have been Von Glitschka’s illustrator/photoshop session and hearing about the evolution of a brand with the Toki Doki founder. All in all, this has been a great experience and really helps focus my energy for the coming year.

The day 2 presentation was great and it was fun to see some of the lighter applications of the Flash technology including running a C++ app inside of Flash.

Adobe Max 2008 is great! I am definitely digging the scope of this and the keynote was simply awesome! Was really good to hear some of the vision behind the Flash platform and how Adobe technology will be key for building new interactive experiences. I saw a lot of their material poised Flash to address some of the particular shortfalls that critics say that MS Silverlight provides.
Also some of the tech demos dovetail into some of the work that I have been working on with various clients over the past few years. Very cool and definitely validating.

I arrived in SF this afternoon and took a shuttle over to the hotel downtown. Walked over to the conference center to pre-register and pick up my event materials. Moscone is decked out and looking impressive with huge banner and a sleek theme this year. Afterwards, I walked a few blocks more to meet up with my Dad and Ruth for dinner. I am looking forward to the start of the conference and the keynote on Monday!
