Top 5 Favorite personal memories of Interaction '08
1. Realizing that I wanted to be a local leader after soaking up
inspiration from Pauric, Niklas, Josh, MK, and Dani at the local leaders
dinner.
2. The Rockband debut of "The Fitts" with Meredith Nobel & Mikkel

Connecting in person with loads of people I only met in other mediums
before. Meeting with peers in the field that you as a European seldom
get a chance to do and the general feeling of being part of something

So many great talks! (I missed as many as I caught, and was grateful
for the videos.) But Chris Conley's "Dramatic Features" talk
really stood out for me. As did Gretchen Anderson's.
The Local Leader's dinner was so much fun--it was so great to

drinking drinking and more drinking (thanks Pauric, beers by the
swimming pool at 2am). I am so excited for Vancouver, I wish I was
there right now :)
I'd also like to mention the great conversations I had with Pauric,

Being stuck at the Savannah airport on the way home along with Bill
Buxton and about 15 other people for 5 hours. Bill missed his flight

Hi gang,
I've been thinking a lot about Interaction 09 | Vancouver of late, but every
time I do, I get sucked into the worm hole that is the exhilarating memories
I have of Interaction 08 | Savannah.
Whether it was Bill Buxton's keynote, the amazing food, the gathering of
amazing people, I'm alwa
