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.
I just put a new iteration of the Update conference web site live, inspired by and in collaboration with designer Clare Sutcliffe. About a week or so ago, Clare – quite out of the blue – sent me an iteration on the Update site design that I absolutely adored. In organizing Update I'm wearing lots of hats at once and I couldn't do it all without the frankly humbling support and help I've been receiving from my friends.

A new iteration of the Update web site evolves the design with input from designer Clare Sutcliffe.
Following my talks at the LOGIN, The Big M, NSConference, and Tweakers.net Developer Summit last month, .net magazine asked if I'd like to be the subject of their Reader Q&A section in their next issue and answer questions sent in via Twitter on life, UX, mobile, and everything. I informed them that yes, I'd be delighted to, and this whole adventure eventually resulted in a lovely email from Tanya at .net magazine with the questions that were tweeted in.
(Welcome if you're reading this from the link in the .net article, by the way. I hope you enjoyed it.)

March is about to become a mad month for me, starting tomorrow (or perhaps it started on Friday, with Geek Ninja Battle Night). Today, I'm off to London, staying overnight at Heathrow (and hopefully attending this evening's NSCoder night in London) before flying to Lithuania tomorrow where, on Thursday, I will be presenting the opening keynote at the LOGIN conference, in front of an expected audience of over 2,000 (no pressure!)

March is shaping up to be a crazy month. In the next ten days, I'm speaking at four conferences and holding one iOS workshop (with another to follow at the end of the month).
