Mr Bullet Proof (Dan Cederholm) at @Media2006
This morning Dan (his book) presented today’s keynote speech from the @Media 2006 Conference and it was awesome we talked about the basics e.g. sliding door techniques, and we discussed new ways of using images in a way to grow with text (mostly). I must admit to not knowing as much about these techniques as others (more manager than developer these last 4 years).
The people I have been socialising with at the event were generally impressed and if seeing the amount of notes made is any judge of the quality of the speech then he did an awesome job because I saw a few people writing notes are their third page.
Definitely this was one of the best presentations they have had here, few have presented much indepth or exciting material which is sad because the people here are the best and brightest in their areas i.e Accessibility, design, typography, etc.
Anyway I have to start listening because I am in the internationalisation session and the material is finally getting important.
Here are a few links that Dan showed us that contain features that were worthy of mention. Have a look and add your thoughts in the comments below or even add some sites you think are great and worthy.

As for the 'muffin interlude', I would add that the room full of geeks on wifi managed to temporarily overload the poor little website ;) As for the 'intersting css': it sure is, but IE6 ain't lovin' it...

Thanks for that. I agree about the IE6 not loving it but I got to enjoy it in FF ;) too bad though about IE 6, hopefully based on previous history IE7 will get adopted quickly and his site will be viewed like FF views it by the majority of his users.
Admittedly it was amusing that we managed to not only crash his site but overwhelm QEII's wifi all in one shot. Thats what happens when you have a room full of bloggers I guess.
Not much I can add about Dan, it goes without saying that it would be fun to try to find the one guy who didn't walk away from Dan's talk with a satisfied small.
Thanks for commenting.
