Las Vegas is booked out. So ReMIX in Australia

fun_elvis

Are you are losing sleep because:

  1. Elvis left the building some 30 years ago in August 1977?
  2. Myf Warhust thinks Elvis serves fish and chips somewhere in Bendigo, Victoria?
  3. Las Vegas MIX07 has been completely booked out?

Don’t lose another minute of sleep!

The MIX experience is being transported and ReMIX’d at the Crown Promenade on 25-26th June 2007.

Remix Australia will be the first of its kind from Microsoft bringing together Web Developers & Designers with our key sponsors. It’s a jam packed two day experience – a 48 hour conversation.

The event is only $140 per person, and all delegates will get, experience and generally, or whatever:

  • A Microsoft Expression Web
  • New networking friendships without Twitter.com
  • A choice of 20 sessions to check out from expert leaders & case studies
  • Hear from Australian Industry & overseas experts
  • Time out at the Sandbox, especially if you are not playing nice with the other kids
  • A sighting of Elvis
  • Action packed evening at Galactic Circus on Monday evening. (you’ll find me on the Defender game)
  • Participate in Meeting Point – pick the conversations you want to hear and be part of, or just read the blogs and drool over the Flickrs and wish you were there in person
  • Meet with Microsoft Partners to understand how they can facilitate Web 2.0
  • Discover: Internet Alley; the entertainment lounge web jams.
  • Go large and become world-famous with “The Geek Stories“

I’ll be there, maybe with a session or two of my own. I’m thinking about doing a demo of how I use Photoshop, Premiere and Vista with some other cool goodies.

More info as it comes to hand.

The Inside Story of Channel 9 and On10.net

From Wired “Gimme a B! Gimme an L! Gimme an… ” (Wired 15.04) . On10.net (or sometimes called Channel 10) is one of the “outputs” of the world-wide team I work for. Bunch of smart and enthusiastic people. Jeff is our quiet uber-boss.

This article describes the history behind Channel 9, and the new open-ness of Microsoft.

It’s interesting to be a part of the small team that’s changing the perception of Microsoft.
