Another Great Canux in Banff, AB

So Canux 2009 has passed and I had a great time. Great conversations with old friends and new one and I even got to take my family to Banff this year. In past years I have tried to take notes of all the presentations but I am usually to enthralled to write down anything useful. This year is no exception. Here are my notes.

  • Compfight.com – flickr search for presenters
  • Watch disk 2 of the Incredibles for the documentary
  • Checkout yui, welie, uipatterns
  • http://Sun.com/webdesign
  • Scenarios; actors; touchpoints of interaction; backstage (backend)
  • Lookup the double diamond model from matt’s presentation. – See if you can get matt’s presentation slides
  • Skillset.org
  • Snagit to evernote ELSE flickr
  • !!! I kinda need my own laptop… I wonder if a netbook would work for me?
  • Braintraffic.com/blog
  • !!! Get into healthvault _ even if it is just for you
  • Personas – what keeps them up at night?

Kinda pathetic… but then I remembered two of my favourite things community and being lazy. I knew that people were tweeting the conference like mad so I thought I’d get them to take my notes for me. A Save As…, some light Regex and a little scrutiny I have a list of 200 SELECTED TWEETS – From a Twitter Search results for canux on November 15, 2009 20:30PST.

If you were not in Banff for CanUX 2008 you missed out.

Another CanUX has come and gone. Thanks to the fine folks at nForm for putting on another great event. Avi sums it up nicely.

Thinking of how good CANUX was this year. Good vibe, good minds, good mountains. – Avi Soudack

CanUX for me is a homecoming I get to see to see friends like Anthony, Yvonne, Trevor, Avi, Jess, Betsy, Gene, Kaleem, Saleem and Jerome. It would have been nice if David could have made it but we all understand and wish him the best. I also get to meet new friends like Jess, David, Sarah, Jenny, Toby, Dennis, Gordon, Matt, Luke, Shane, Brandon, Colette, Dave and many other people I am no doubt forgetting.

There is lots of great coverage of the conference photos on Flickr and posts from:
