My talk at DIS 2008 was this morning and it went well. We got lots of great questions afterwards! But the real revelation of the day was the Design Indaba Expo, which showcased simply stunning world class South African designers doing everything from advertising to clothing to toys to dining ware. Don’t worry — I bought one of everything! (i wish…)

Congratulations Jason. Maybe we can get a trip report from you and Wendy upon your return. Would love to see more of the design work…

Thanks! Trip report would be fun to do. I’ve got a catalog from the show and a huge book that collects the South African design “all stars” so I’ll be sure to bring those in.

Yeah; the talk went very well. Jason, for some reason the box on the main page where I can post my updates has gone missing. Is this just YA casualty of my wacko Internet connection here, or has something gone awry with our microblog administration?

It works fine for me. It’s just that magic kellogg touch!

Congrats Jason! I knew you would give a fabulous talk! Can’t wait to hear the scoop from you and Wendy about the whole dis experience.
And Wendy I didn’t get the box on my page either

Christine and Wendy, it sounds like you got logged out somehow. Can you try logging in? Lemme know if that works or not.
Thanks for the kind words, Christine! I’m glad it went well.
