So I’ll be in Vegas from Saturday 13th March getting ready for the tidal wave of  announcements, presentations and new friends that will be MIX10 – check out the huge amount of topics and people over the three days.

Given that this is my first trip to the US and I’ve started in Seattle, I keep getting told that the comparison between the two cities will be vast. And then people laugh

I’m already looking forward to the Windows Phone 7 announcements which have my brain on overload already. Silverlight 4 and as much designer/dev and best practice talks as I can wrap my mind around will be top of the list. Dying to put some faces to names on the Expressions team and the Silverlight community bloggers as well.

I’ll be there with quite a few other people from our company including Gavin Wignall from Silverlightbuzz.com which will be great.

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Ahoy!

Having just put my folded paper blog boat in the Sea of Internets, I hope to guide it with the map of design through the straights of interactivity and past the reef of code onwards to the shore of useful.

I’ve been an interactive designer of sorts for many years now, working with the early years of Director and Authorware then with that strong bastion of the HTML web, onto Flash and now Silverlight.

With the good ship RocketpandaBlog I’ll be covering mostly Silverlight with a little Flash and then some dabbling behind the bikeshed with other alluring technologies.

So get out the easychair and put it on the deck, hopefully it will be at the very least an interesting ride.
