Joining the mass trend of ripping off other people's icons, are we? ;-)

Hey, I'm just subconsciously pimping Apple Keynote. They should pay me for that!

…someday I’d like to be in an area even remotely close to an event such as the ones above. Right now the closest in over 1000 miles away.

Either I need to pony up the cash to go to one of these or continue to cross my fingers that something like this will ever come to Iowa (HA!).

…Not holding my beath….

And I don’t suppose any of these will be recorded or broadcast in any way, will they?

They sound interesting, but all of those are a little out of my way. By a few hundred miles.

I was considering going to Webvisions in Portland, but now I see a lot more speakers of whom blogs I enjoy I definitely think I’ll go.

You should get a speaking gig up here in Boston (Bah-stin), I’d love to sit in — I believe there is a free beer or two in it for you.

Don’t be ashamed to self promote speaking gigs man.

Oh man, to see Roger Black again – that man has been my rock for years. Rolling Stone, Newsweek, Circle, his work on dailies in Brazil, etc..

The two of you in the same room and I’ll need a change of shorts (eww).

Perhaps I’ll have to settle on Portland and ask you about “if you could build your Web site from scratch…” as a recap.

Hi Mike,

Looks like you’ve got a busy schedule planned. I, like some of your other geographically diverse readers, wish I was able to attend and hear your thoughts on design and more.

However, I think I might have a solution. I recently started a project to do 1,000 podcasts with interesting innovators, bloggers, marketers and entrepreneurs.

I think you clearly fit into any number of those categories and if you’re willing and have 30 minutes, I’d love to pick your brain (maybe others can make question suggestions?), record it and post it online for all to hear.

If you’re interested in listening to a sample interview from the project, I highly recommend the one I did with Jason Fried of 37 Signals.

Please let me know if you’re interested. I can be reached at:

Congrats on your speaking gigs Mike.Be sure to post your deck of slides (if permitted by the conferences) - Shaun Inman posted some sweet ones some time ago, and since then I've been starving for some decent presentation design inspiration.SXSW did not help at all, most of the slides I saw were an embarassment for the speakers, with the notable exception of Andy Budd/Clarke.

What about something for those of us already in Seattle? (well, Bellevue anyway) How about a Newsvine open house :)

Rob: I actually never use slides. Never liked them.
