@media 2008 London

@media hits London and it’s been great. So far I’ve been to talks by Jeffrey Veen on information design, the mapping of diseased Soho in the 1800s, the BBC beta sites & Clearleft, James Graham and Lachlan Hunt on HTML5, Andy Clarke on design from comic books and Stuart Langridge on understanding HTTP responses, 404 and more.
And the free beer afterwards helped. Met (again) Christian Heilmann, Jeffrey Veen, Stuart Langridge, the HTML5 boys, Rudi from Barclaycard, Ryan Taylor from Havoc Inspired, Paul Stanton from University of Leeds, Michael Rawling and John Resig (jQuery v script.aculo.us) – sorry John!
It’s been a great experience – the South Bank venue is a great setting and having seen some great bands in the Queen Elizabeth Hall and spoken word in the Purcell Room it’s a very cool place to be talking web.
Some guy took lots of pictures around the bar after the main do. Will try and track down his snaps later.
Roll on Friday.
