Web 2.0 Almost Killed me

Posted on by

I’m back at home after a fun, but crazy week. Web 2.0 Expo was awesome, but I stretched myself a *bit* too far. Keeping on top of my development job, planning 360|Flex, blogging a week in which Microsoft and Adobe both had significant RIA news, then moderating the panel and helping out with blogging on the O’Reilly Radar just kind of overwhelmed me. So I spent Thursday-Sunday down in Oregon at my grandfather’s WWII reunion, stayed away from email, blogging, and even Twitter in an attempt to recharge. I think it worked.

Web 2.0 Expo was great. Lots of interesting sessions, lots of excitement for RIAs and a chance to meet people for the first time and hang out with others. I finally got to meet Richard MacManus, Chris Messina and Matthias Zeller and I hung out quite a bit with Bryan Zug, Andre Charland and Daryn Nakuda. Even hung out with James Ward and Ted Leung for a night.

All in all, great conference. During the conference, I also realized that I should have some kind of logo for Digital Backcountry, so I came up with this (I didn’t go Web 2.0 reflection-style):

Digital Backcountry

I’m going to add it as a watermark in the corner of the photos, but comments are welcome.

I’m still catching up on email, feeds and everything else. If you have anything you know is good that I missed, please drop me a line and send it to me. I’ll be more responsive this week :) . And I’ll stay responsive during MIX next week because I don’t have any sessions to present on.
