I’m very happy to be presenting at UX08 in Melbourne on May 16.
It’s a real honour to be presenting with such a smart group of local UX people as well as getting to meet a few new faces from O/S.
I’m particularly keen to have a quiet word with Andy Budd too. Not so much to do with UXie stuffs though. You see the last time we met was at an after party at SxSW in Austin, Texas. Within the first minute of talking to him, I choked, had a coughing fit and had to excuse myself… Yes I was sober. But talk about embarrassment! I looked like an alcoholic with TB. So I’m looking forward to representing in a better light this time…
I’m also looking forward to meeting Robert Hoekman Jr, not only because I’ve been reading his posts on the IxDA mail list for ages, but also because he’s a ‘Jr’… and I’ve never met one of those before. I’m wondering what the difference between ‘Jr’ and ‘the II’ is too. I’ll keep you posted, don’t worry about that.
But overall it’s just going to be a fun event and I’m really rapt to be presenting along side some great local friends and all round smart people.
Not only that, Melbourne is my home town, I can wear black on black and not look gothic, and it’s at the Melbourne Town Hall - what a brilliant venue.
So just in case you’re not sure, check out the line up… it’s got all areas covered:
- Andy Budd (Clearleft) - Interaction design and usability
- Robert Hoekman Jr (Miskeeto) - User experience evangelist
- Lisa Herrod - User testing
- Emily Boyd (Remember the Milk) - Ajax techniques for great user experiences

Hope to see you there… Do you think you can make it?
