6:30 - 8:00pm

Join us as Abe Crystal (Ruzuku), Stephen Fraser (Spoonflower), and Nicholas Napp (DisruptorMonkey) briefly share their adventures in web-based business through reflections on past experiences and outlooks for 2009. This will be a casual, conversational, panel-like group discussion, and will be an ideal opportunity to ask questions and discuss how we all might better leverage the potential of the web in 2009.

TriUPA Workshop — Reboot Your Work: Modern Methods for Productivity, Sanity, and Control

When: 9am - 4:30pm, Monday 1/12/09 or Tuesday 1/13/09

Start the year by freeing up your brain so you can think clearly, do more, and work creatively!

In this fast-paced full-day workshop, you will learn modern techniques to juggle and prioritize all the information constantly coming at you: dozens of projects, round-the-clock demands for your attention, and the perpetual overload of email and IM.

You’ll apply the concepts using hands-on exercises at the individual, small group, and large group levels. You’ll leave with a solid system for doing your job more productively, with less effort, and a greater sense of control.

013 Recap

Steve and Matt presented to about 30 people last night on Progressive Enhancement. Steve kicked things off by providing some history on why he coined the term "progressive enhancement" and the landscape of web design at that time.  Matt brought us up to speed on how current best practices reflect progressive enhancement.

Hesketh was a terrific host (with very cool office space) - thanks again to them for the support. We had a great time at The Raleigh Times afterward. Check out the photos on Flickr.
