and the beat goes om

comic of eric and molly by ok cancel

IT’S ALMOST UI9 time again in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The UI conferences are always one of the year’s best gatherings for web designers, developers, usability and content folks.

You can start off on Monday October 11 by joining me and my brother-in-oneness Eric Meyer as we burn down a popular, overly-tabled, inaccessible, and overly-scripted web site portal and build it back up with structured markup and style. A fascinating and funny markover adventure where along the way we point out a lot of things we can all be doing better when it comes to building our sites and managing them efficiently.

On Tuesday Eric and I do a short course, CSS for Prototyping. This course demonstrates that CSS has uses far beyond prettying up your site’s face. We’ll also be showing off Eric’s new S5 Slide Show browser software, which he built with XHTML, CSS, and a bit of JavaScript modified from a similar slide show feature Tantek was working with.

And now for a few moments of pride served with a side of special sauce:

  • Welcome to the world, Ava Marie Zeldman.
  • Hey, check you out there on Apple’s Pro/ site, Mr. Meyer! Lookin’ good spinning those tunes.
  • Stephen Ibaraki has done a rather detailed interview with me at the Network Professional Association web site. Everything you ever wanted to know about Molly and then some stuff you probably really didn’t want to know, I’m sure.

And the beat goes: Om.

    Hi Molly – really interesting interview, thanks for pointing it out! I sent along the link to the University Web Design list, they have been talking about the Top 10 Basic Web Page Building Blocks, so your list was a great addition to the conversation.

    Meeting you and Eric at TODCON in Vegas was a highlight of my professional development here, too – you guys rock! Thanks for all of your insights!

    I just viewed your course, Learning Blogger on lynda.com – absolutely wonderful job! This is for everyone who wanted to know about blogging but were afraid to ask (like me)!
