So, I just got back from Web Direc­tions South, and it was AMAZING. The peo­ple, the atmos­phere, the speak­ers… unfor­tu­nately it was over far too quickly.

The WDS07 pod­casts are now avail­able so if you didn’t go, you can get a taste of what you missed out on. Or if you did go, you can catch up on the ses­sions that you couldn’t attend. I heartily rec­om­mend Mark Pesce’s clos­ing keynote “Mob Rules” - appro­pri­ately cat­e­gorised as “vision” — it was inspirational.

So now it’s back to real­ity. Not for the tire­less John and Max­ine how­ever — while the rest of us were set­tling back into our nor­mal rou­tines, they were busy putting together the final details for Web Direc­tions North 08, to be held in Van­cou­ver at the end of January.

Look­ing at the speaker list, I’m jeal­ous (I’m pretty sure my con­fer­ence bud­get does not extend to Cana­dian adven­tures). But I guess we can’t have all the good stuff down here in Aus­tralia only.

I’ve added a but­ton to link to the side­bar here — if you pur­chase your ticket to WDN through there, I go into the draw for a chance to win my accom­mo­da­tion and air­fares as well as a ticket to the con­fer­ence. So what are you wait­ing for? Get me there already :)
