TOevolt

I've just returned from TOevolt in Toronto, where I spoke on "Bulletproof Design". Joe Clark, Javier Velasco and Adrian Roselli also gave informative talks yesterday on the 3rd floor of a large building on the University of Toronto campus.

Many thanks to Tara Cleveland for organizing the event, and to my many tour guides this afternoon. It was a pleasure meeting everyone north of the border.

If you're interested in hearing more about the event, check out writeups by Mathew Hoy (with photos), and Frank Manno.

Items carried in the BP:

  • Passport
  • Airline tickets
  • Customs forms (one of these was slightly too wide)
  • Maps (folded)
  • Taxi receipts
  • Train ticket

Needless to say, the BP was invaluable on travel days this weekend.
