New Adventures in Web Design
A little summary of my adventure at New Adventures in Web Design, which took place in Nottingham this week. This was my first conference of the year and it was kicked off in style, thanks to the excellent organisation of Simon Collison and Greg Wood. Thanks for that, and see you next year.
The Trent Walton Workshop
The adventure started with a workshop on Controlling Web Typography with Trent Walton. Half a day full of tips and tricks you can use with some type, HTML, CSS and jQuery. Best explained by giving an example: my attempt to re-create a movie title still in the browser, using HTML, CSS and jQuery.

The Conference
Like last year the line-up of speakers was impressive and all the talks were linked on a common theme: Design. So many good things were said, and here is a summary in tweets.
