APE was really great. It was my first comic convention and I met a ton of people who were creative in different ways than one might see in the design community – refreshing. Probably the coolest thing, next to seeing Matt Groening again, was checking out the booths and finding someone over a sketchbook behind [...]

SXSW 2006 (Sunday) Originally uploaded by Laughing Squid. My third year at SxSW Interactive and again, my role has shifted. The first year, I was a Web Awards winner and SxSWi virgin. Last year, we attended as press. This year, I was both moderator (How to Make the Most of Maps) and panelist (Blogging for [...]

You’ve seen conference badges at conferences and nametags at big parties. At the recent Adaptive Path party, I “tagged” myself. Ha. Ha. I’m so clever, right? I mean gee, Kevin, you’re such an original character. Well let’s see what happened. I put: Kevin OK/Cancel Yahoo Comics Canada Skiing and then ran out of space. During [...]

Conference Virgins and Conference Friends

In Thoughts and Rants on 6 March 2006 tagged conference, okcancel, sxsw, sxsw2006, sxswi, ted, ted2006 with 5 comments

At TED, they had a term called “TED virgin”. I can understand why they say that – it really is one of those experiences where you have to have been there to understand what it’s about. Some aspects are not unique to TED, however and the concept of a conference virgin is one of them. [...]

The month of March is looking to be slightly extremely insane. I was happy to help get some of our work at Yahoo! accepted into the IA Summit – we’re presenting a 45min session on Communicating Concepts through Comics and doing a full day workshop where we teach people to use the technique. There’s also [...]

The Magic of TED

Dynamo, a street magician from UK was performing and presenting at TED2006. On the following night, at the Aquariem Party, he was performing to small groups. Someone mentioned that he may be using a trick deck. As it so happens, I carry a deck of cards with my laptop bag at all times and as [...]

Day two of TED conference (where I’m uploading pictures as soon and often as I can). This conference was meant to be the change of pace from the many design conferences I tend to go to. TED stands for Technology Entertainmend Design and has just an incredible speaker lineup (which I really can’t do justice). [...]

The Double Handshake

In Uncategorized on 22 March 2005 tagged conference, sxsw, sxsw2005, sxswi with 1 comment

An observation after sxsw: when you shake hands with someone, there are potentially two handshakes. The first is the polite one. Allow me to repeat the conversation from the last post: “Hi, I’m Kevin” “Hi, I’m (so and so). So what’s your blog/website/job?” (handshake) “I work on a webcomic on interaction design called OK/Cancel?” “Oh [...]
