I’ll be fixing the comments form, any bugs/discrepancies in others browsers and the background image tonight. So until then, enjoy the rest of your weekend.
EDIT: The comment form has been fixed, in most browsers I have tested, I have not tested it in the evil IE6 as of yet, stay tuned for the comedic part of the show. New background image to come.

I forgot to mention in the previous post, that part about user experience and what Andy Budd had made as his presentation at An Event Apart. In his presentation, Andy talked about user experience and how it can be applied to anything. In his case, a trip to a hotel in Mexico.
Well it dawned on me that in life, you want to be treated to an experience like no other when you go out, go on trips, or even be treated to a good experience when you’re shopping or dining in a restaurant. Which brought me to thinking, apply this to the web. Imagine myself, as the user, imagine myself as I would want to be treated when I go out. To the best experience possible.

I’m going to take the time now to really sit down and write a comprehensive post on my experience at An Event Apart that took place this past Monday and Tuesday in Boston. I had been at the ready, saving what I could in time for the event and barely made it out of there with some pocket change. So be forewarned, don’t be frugal like me with little, and remember to bring your credit card and don’t leave home without it. (Where have I heard that before?)
I started writing this yesterday and have given this more attention again today. I wanted to write a very in-depth post about my experience and maybe “twist an arm” and if someone out there, even if it is one person reads this, goes to an AEA event and then writes back and says it was worth it, then it really was worth taking the extra couple days to write this.

It was a hell of a three days and I took away a lot from every speaker there. I highly recommend anyone in any field of web to go to an AEA event near you. I feel re-invigorated, re-invented, re-energized, rejuvenated. I have a lot of people to thank and some more sleep to catch up on.
