My upcoming events
I will be leaving the trail to attend a few things in the next three weeks. I hope to see you there, and also this will be the window of opportunity to get some face time with me if I am working on your projects. Contact me asap to arrage meetings, here is where I will be…
May 12th - Palm Springs (personal stuff)
May 15th - Sunnyvale, CA - Yahoo HQ - I will be at the Yahoo campus for an evening of drinking, er, I mean developer stuff
May 28th 29th - Google I/O - I am looking forward to several goings on there, especially the MySpace/Open Social stuff, and of course the Google gadgets stuff as well.
Jun 3rd 4th - Seattle, WA - SMX Advanced - I will swing by Seattle for the SEOmoz party, and also maybe get a networking pass for the event.
Jun16th - New York, NY - WidgetWebExpo - I will be doing a session there on Widgets and SEO
I also want to mention that Smx Advanced will be having a developer day which programmed by Vanessa Fox, who has over 13 years of experience building websites, documenting APIs, and reading comic books.
Vanessa is starting a new thing Nine by Blue, which looks at the relationships between development, SEO, and online marketing silos and how the data from each of these areas can be used holistically to learn more about customer behavior. She also is features editor at Search Engine Land, a leading online journal covering the search industry. She previously created Google’s Webmaster Central, which provides both tools and community to help website owners improve their sites to gain more customers from search.
In addition to the above, she is also quite hot 
There is a real benefit for companies to send their developers to this event, and I want to add that I personally think that if you are a developer and you are tinkering with the idea of broadening your horizons, this is a good event to go to. If you are thinking of working with me I would say the developer days would be required. (hint-hint)
Although this developer day is naturally orientated towards SEO, there are some very important basics to understand before starting a large project that will be useful to just about any development team out there.
My compliments to Vanessa for starting this.
That about does it, after that I will be back on the trail.
