It’s become a bit of a tradition to spend the last Thursday and Friday of September in Sydney for Web Directions South and this year’s no exception. Usually C and I add a few days to the gig and see some of the sights (or, at least, the shops) while we’re there. This year with work pressure and so on it’s going to be a whistle stop visit. In on Wednesday afternoon and out on Saturday morning. A shame but there you go. It’s been a good year for travel this year and my carbon feet are certainly feeling a bit big for my boots.
Looking foward to catching up with familar faces and meet up with new people from all around. The more I’m involved with electronic communication the more I’m convinced that the real strides are made face-to-face. New ideas, new perspectives and a more nuanced interaction than is possible through the ether. The Auckland Web Meetup has been proof of this locally and Web Essentials/Web Directions and Webstock have proved it to be true, further afield.
So here’s to another great Web Directions South and, in the spirit of celebration, I’ve revamped wasabicube to try out some graphical and JavaScript experiments and I’ve had some button badges made. Hope to see you in Sydney in few days.
Of course, if you are going, don’t forget to Wear your passion at Web Directions!
Taggy goodness:
