Bruce and Lynda are in town for Seybold, and I went to see the discussion Lynda moderated about web interface design. On the panel were Matt Owens, Hillman Curtis and Jeffrey Zeldman, an interesting mix of talented people with very good ideas about design.

After the discussion, Lynda introduced me to Zeldman and Carrie Bickner, both wonderfully thoughtful, intelligent people who were a pleasure to talk to. Among other things, the two co-authored the NYPL Style Guide, a brilliant resource which will surely become a seminal document for transitioning sites to XHTML and CSS.

Seybold started at 9am, afterwards some other stuff happened and I didn’t get home until almost 10pm. Happy Birthday Graham
