The webcast was yesterday, April 2. It went fine, but it was awesome in my previous rehearsal, so I didn't feel as good about it, especially because I didn't feel like I made all the concise and specific points I had made the day before. Not to make excuses, but I like to walk around and talk, and although the rehearsals and tests went fine we had some people having some trouble hearing so I had to sit over the speakerphone and that made me lose my flow, plus that put my notes in a different place than before so I couldn't use them as expected. I'd love a do-over so I could really get that message across better, so I am really looking forward to the April 9th speech, which I don't think will be webcast, of course! The Q&A after the webcast went well.

Hi Michael

The link at the bottom of the article that looks like it's just a link to Extensis's web site is actually a link to the event. Not sure why they formatted it that way but that should get you started.

Alternatively we are doing a webcast Thursday, April 2, at 11:00 Pacific time. I've copied this link from the Extensis web site. Hope it works.

Great to see this posted. I'm gearing up for a good talk and hope to have fun showing a few things we do to make work better for us and our clients.

If anyone has any questions in advance I'll try to work them in if you would like to submit them here or via Twitter http://twitter.com/luckylou

This will be my first big speech like this, so go easy on me! I'm honored to present to all of you.

Ironically this sounds like the beginnings of the same problems that we hear about plaguing Microsoft for so long now.

Good design doesn't come easily, nor from consensus, and it doesn't always please everyone. It requires a commitment to a point of view, some risk, a vision for success, the skill to carry it out, and the wisdom to let the process take its course.

It seems this last thing, wisdom, escapes organizations most, with increasingly bureaucratic procedure as its pale imitation.
