Yes, I’m on Flickr

Friday, July 7, 2006 | 4:11 pm

Are you happy now, Pat?

Actually, I’ve had a Flickr account for a while - initially just so I could comment on other people’s photos. I first put my own photos up there after An Event Apart Atlanta. And now, basically because I’m sick of people asking me, “Are you on Flickr?” whenever I say I like photography - and because I know lots of people who use it - I’ve uploaded some more photos.

I’m not going to move everything from my Gallery over to Flickr, because that would take for-damn-ever. Instead, I’m going to use my Flickr account as a place to highlight some of my favorite photos, and direct people to my Gallery to see more.

And of course, if anyone wants to buy me a Flickr Pro account, that would be much appreciated…

Like a backstage pass for geeks

Tuesday, May 2, 2006 | 3:45 pm

The interview I alluded to in my AEA wrap-up post is finally available for download via - you guessed it! - the Georgia Podcast Network. In case you’ve forgotten, I talked with Eric Meyer, Jeffrey Zeldman, and Jason Santa Maria.

I think the podcast turned out really well - though Zeldman was a little distraught over the lack of editing done to the meat of the interview. We Rusty did some editing - leveled off the volume and cut some extraneous stuff off the beginning and the end - but we think it’s more interesting and authentic to hear the real deal, complete with fumbling for words, off-topic banter, and all the rest of it. Anyone can splice together a boring Q&A; we like conversations that reflect the real live people behind the business-card descriptions of who they are!

Anyway, have a listen. It’s a little over 13 minutes long, complete with (in addition to the actual interview) advice on how all you single fellas out there can get yourselves a girlfriend, and a self-aggrandizing vignette from me at the end. And be sure to grab the Mostly ITP RSS feed and stay tuned, because next week we’ll be recording the book signing at Manuel’s with Kos and Jerome!

AEA wrap-up

Monday, April 3, 2006 | 11:34 pm

Liveblogging As promised, I was blogging away at An Event Apart today. You can read the thrilling play-by-play at CSS Insider.

I also posted my photos to the AEA Atlanta Flickr pool - my first time using Flickr for anything other than writing clever comments about other people’s photos. Honestly, I think their UI leaves something to be desired, but can thousands of nerds be wrong? Eh, I’ll just stick with Gallery and let everyone else enjoy the Flickr hotness.

Finally, on the CSS Insider post, you’ll notice the following teaser:

Earlier I did a short interview with Eric Meyer, Jeffrey Zeldman, and Jason Santa Maria. It will be available for download in a few weeks via my forthcoming podcast site (link to come).

So there you have it, the anti-climactic pseudo-public annoucement of the project Rusty and I have been working on for the past ~3 months. Sorry there wasn’t more pomp and circumstance surrounding it… but I could put some DHTML confetti on my blog if you really want me to.

Can I just say how excited I am about An Event Apart in Atlanta? (Yes, yes I can.) Tentatively, my boss said we could go; but of course, the price hasn’t been posted yet, so that’ll be a factor. I really hope we can go. I mean, you remember how giddy I got about seeing Eric Meyer speak at the SES conference last year. This sounds like it’ll be a little more up close and personal - and let’s not forget, Zeldman will be there too.

So, ATL geek bloggers, see if you can convince your respective bosses to pay for a day at the 755 Club. It is going to rule.
