After neglecting my Flickr account for several years, I thought I'd upgrade to Pro again and upload the photos that we commissioned from the talented Victoria Dawe from Friday's hugely fun Geek Ninja Battle Night.

So, to upload the 140 or so photos, I downloaded Flickr's desktop uploading app, Flickr Uploadr and dragged my set of photos in. Upon dragging them in, I realized that they were in the wrong order. They were listed in reverse chronological order, which the last taken photo at the top and the first one at the bottom of the window. In the top-left corner of the app, I saw a message telling me that they were "currently ordered by date taken" and that I could drag and drop if I wanted to re-order them.

I was honored to be asked, alongside Mathias Dahlström from LastMinute.com and Tim Brooke from Nokia, to mentor Design Jam London 2.

Watch the video of my talk on user experience from the opening keynote of the Frontend 2010 conference in Oslo, Norway.

See the other talks from the conference on the Frontend 2010 videos page and contact me if you'd like to book me to present at your mobile, web, design, or development conference or if you'd like me to present on user experience at your company.

Last week I was in New York, speaking at the Future of Web Design conference, where I presented the second day opening keynote and taught a new one-day workshop on iPhone Design & Development.

I attended both days of the conference and loved the other sessions as well as the venue, and, of course, New York, where we got to see Driving Miss Daisy with James Earl Jones and Vanessa Redgrave, eat at Bubba Gump's overlooking Times Square (what an experience), and enjoy the culinary delights of the excellent The National restaurant (where we had the most amazing Branzino), and knock back a couple of espresso martini's at the W Hotel (they serve the best ones I've had anywhere).

I will be teaching my 3-Day Introduction to iOS Development workshop this month, November 24-26, 2010, right after I return from giving the second day opening keynote and teaching a one-day iPhone workshop at Future of Web Design in New York. The venue is the beautiful Lighthouse Arts in central Brighton (UK).

This intensive course will give you a solid foundation in developing with the iOS SDK (for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch), Xcode (both 3 & and the upcoming 4), and Objective-C. To see a more detailed outline of the course and get all the juicy details, please see the course's web-site.
