Next month I’m hitting Las Vegas for MIX08. March is a pretty good conference month with ETech in San Diego (holy crap, what an ace program this year), MIX in Vegas and SXSW in Austin and although I’ve been pretty unimpressed by conferences as of late (one of the exceptions being Reboot which I was lucky enough to be a speaker at) I’m still looking forward to meeting some of the people attending Mix08.

It’s my first time at the conference so I don’t really know what to expect although I’m curious about the news on IE8, the new interactive work Microsoft has been doing on Surface and the conference’s new User Experience track, that has a few familiar faces. That, and a week in Vegas should be pretty interesting.

I find that some of the best ideas I get are on travel days (odd, I know), and I hope to catch up on some thinking and reading - the result of which should be a handful of posts, both about Microsoft and MIX as well as other stuff. Anyway, if you’re going to be in Vegas from the 3rd to the 8th of March, get in touch - I always love to meet up with some of the people reading this blog (maybe we can face-off on Guitar Hero or Rock Band, too).
