Helping with the Brighton Digital Festival, staging Update 2011, teaching kids at local schools to program, flying to Sweden to teach my iOS workshop, speaking at Improving Reality, and attending dConstruct and Flash on the Beach… I have quite a month ahead.
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).

Aral Balkan, who gave what I thought was the best talk of the two days, used his Feathers iPhone App for Twitter as an example of making a useful application that is also fun to interact with.

Martin Belam from The Guardian gives FOWD a glowing review and calls my talk "the best talk of the two days".
It looks like conference season is upon me again, starting with
Multi-Mania next week in Belgium.
