Thanks to some encouragement from Tammy Hart, I decided to apply to be a speaker at WordCamp Atlanta. I had spoken at WordCamp Birmingham in September and had a wonderful time. I always feel like I get so much out of WordCamp. Not only from everyone sharing so much of their knowledge but from meeting some incredibly talented people.
Coming from a design background rather than a programming one, sometimes I am a bit intimidated by speaking. When it comes to advanced php I feel like I'm more of a learner than a teacher - but when it comes to aesthetic, I feel like I have a lot to say. I am going to be speaking on something that is a passion of mine: "WordPress and Your Brand."
Brief Description of "WordPress and Your Brand":
"Utilizing WP technology to fit your brand, your look, and your goals"
We will be covering different aspects of WordPress and how it applies to company branding. We are going to look at good branding practices, examples using wordpress, and look into how we can give ourselves and our clients the best possible online presence. We are also going to talk about brand consistency online and offline, WordPress customization tips, and helpful Plugins.
"Adapt WordPress to your brand, not your brand to WordPress"
Anyone have any amazing examples of Design, Branding, or Interactive Branding they would like to share?
If you saw me speak at WC Bham this year.. its going to touch on some similar branding focuses, but it is going to be a million times better and very in depth talk about aesthetic, type, etc. I am so excited to hear all the other speakers and meet new friends in the tech community that weekend. Cant Wait!

As a fundraiser for the Birmingham Art Collective's "The Show at Woodlawn" we had our first "Collective House" show hosted at my loft. Artists who showed were: Jason Burgess, Atreus Sacco, and Mark Roberts. There were fine-detailed drawings, mixed media painting, and video art. It was a fun time all around with DJ tominie and his rad west-coast set. We're going to need to do this again definately.
The Birmingham Art Collective put on another Show! This time it was in the neighborhood of Woodlawn. Thanks to all who came out and all who helped. To learn more about the show, the collective, our sponsors, and all who helped: go here: http://www.thebirminghamartcollective.com

Here is a start of my collection of useless internet fun websites. Please add to the list!
At Wordcamp Birmingham 2009, I had the privilege of speaking on WordPress and Your Brand. I have embedded the slides from the talk. I hope that some people were able to learn a bit about "adapting WordPress to fit your brand rather than your brand to WordPress." I absolutely loved Wordcamp and can not wait for the next one.
Just wanted to let you know that I posted up a Secret Audio Interveiw with Mark Roberts about his Senior show at ASFA. Im going to do a not so secret follow up interview later. Along with pictures.
working on a new project with Mark Roberts. numbers and identity. its going to be so different than anything ive done. more on that later.
