Posts, pictures, and slides from events I have attended, participated in, and/or presented at.
Just a quick set of pictures I took at WordCamp MSP, there were far fewer than I had intended to take. That probably had something to do with my camera being in my backpack rather than in my pocket or hand. Looking forward to WordCamp MSP 2011, and I promise I will take more pictures next year.

For those of you look for slides and notes from my presentations at WordCamp MSP 2010, you’ve come to the right place. Below I have my slides from my first presentation of the day, “How to: Reporting Issues”. You should also be able to download the .pptx file off of slideshare, if you so choose.

Ok, this is a little premature, but what ever. Tomorrow is CSS naked day, so in honor of this, this blog’s CSS will be removed for the entirety of that day. This is to promote web standards, which Microsoft seems incapable of following.
Also, it was reported to me that the download links are not working, this is due to a bug in the plug-in that I use for downloads, I’m going to install a SVN version of it that is compatible with WordPress 2.5

Sorry I blew it this year, due to the school work load I 100% forgot that today is the second annual CSS Naked Day. It took browsing a blog and seeing that its CSS was missing but it was not facing the effects of Digg, and it dawned on me. The other too bad thing is that this blog has had the same skin for over a year now, it is time for change. But change takes time, especially when you are building a theme platform (inspired by K2, but it is not K2) from the ground up. That is all I’ll leak about one of my many projects, and I’ll leave you with a verbatim copy of my CSS Naked Day post from last year:
For a full 48 hours, while somewhere on earth it’s April 5th this blog will be separated from its lovely CSS file. This is about standards, not retarded Digg users, along with some ignorant Newsvine users. This day is to educate those web developers that don’t write code to conform to standards, which is a bad thing. Don’t even think about starting an AJAX/Web 2.0 project if you don’t plan on using web standards, otherwise bad things will happen.
