Paged Media Initiative
Yesterday I presented at MIT Press.
Today, we had a truly amazing day today at MIT Press with the PagedMedia meeting. I’ll post some photos later on today, but in general, it went like this… First we had presentations from some very talented folks that use HTML and CSS to make books – showing how they did it and the results. You might think ‘wow… exciting times’… ha…but for me it was just fantastic. So many good folks and so much to learn from each. Then Julie Blanc and Fred Chasen did two awesome presentations on possible approaches to the problem. Finally we discussed these and agreed on the best path for now, and many people committed to various roles to get this all going…. Amazing…
Anyways…now in the Toronto airport, on my way to BC to do a presentation at INKE, introduced by my buddy John Maxwell…awesome!

3rd time Alien of Extraordinary Ability
It is the craziest name for a visa – Alien of Extraordinary Ability. Also known as the O1 visa (temporary resident with work permission for the US)… anyways, I just got my third one! Whoot! That gives me another 3 years working in the US. One day I’ll get a t-shirt with ‘Alien of Extraordinary Ability’ on it and a pic of some green bug-eyed being 🙂
Know someone cool?
If you know a developer that is into Node and React and wants to work on open source tools to change publishing forever… let me know…
Stormy daze
A pretty large storm is moving through NZ and I seem to be right at the worst of it… 100-120km winds and recorded gusts of 161km…
Seen here in a hand drawn isobar chat by the NZ Meteorological Service.
