AEA Boston 2010

AEA Boston 2010

It is my mission, next year, to make An Event Apart Boston 2010. It’s the shot in the arm that I need I think to get my focus back on what I want and what I have my eye on. A job, full-time, in web design & development. 2008’s AEA gave me the shot in the arm I needed. It fired up something that had been dormant in me for awhile.

Personal issues aside, An Event Apart gave me what I needed in 2008, a much-needed boost of creativity. I need to attend and recharge again. I think it’s pretty clear in my opinion that is something that needs to be done. I met some of the nicest people and some of the people I have followed for years. Read their books, visited their web sites, watched videos of their presentations. Learned something from them, gathered important information in the field I was concentrating in making a career out of.

I totally forgot about this seminar. A one-day workshop down in Salem, MA with Dan Cederholm & Ethan Marcotte something that I had read about not too long ago when fishing around for something to read.

At first, I wanted the book. Then I wanted the book & the DVD. Now I want the free pass to the event. I had to write some haikus, or in this case handcrafted haikus. The site for the book is a visual treat to me. I’ve been an admirer of Dan’s work from afar.

I have made my entries, now I await. Tweet yours and read the rules here and remember to add the #hcsshaiku with your tweet to get your entry in, they’re piling up and time is running out!
